Management has gone down the drain so quickly!

I would think carefully before planning to make Waterford Place Apartment complex your home, since the quality of the management has gone down appallingly in just an year. Integrity and transparency seems to be almost non-existent with them at this point, and they seem toā€¦Ā See More >

    DO NOT LIVE HERE - AVOID ANY PROPERTY FROM ESSEX

      Thin Walls
