Don't believe the glitter...

The sparkle is not there once you sign on the line.

The so called "B" rated athletes (Raiders and 49ers) that management allows to reside there are a joke along with all their 'homies' that come along and disturb the hard $ earners that are financially better off than these practice squad players.

Management seems to do a lot of 'kissing' up to anyone 'in the lime light' and will pass anyone on anyone who is a 9 - 5'r.

Security guards are the biggest criminals ever who are lazy and are probably doing the break in's of car's. The Essex hires contract security that can care less about security let alone your convenience such as opening a door when you have a handful of packages.

Lived there for 1 year and could not wait to get out.

Can't imagine how a publicly listed company can treat their core income in the manner that is allowed at The Essex.

Recommend, never.
