This isn't a great place, but we've stayed here 3 years for the convenience of the location. We've made it work. The elevator almost always works now, and some of our noisy neighbors moved out. We had a fruit fly issue at one point butā€¦Ā See More >

    I highly recommend not renting an apartment at 81 Essex Street or from the Hamilton Company in general. First, the building is old and has a lot of problems. The elevator is constantly breaking down, the laundry and the garbage in the basementā€¦Ā See More >

      When my roommate found this place which was close to both my school and work, I was excited. . .this was a year ago. Since then, I've been consistently disappointed in my living arrangement. As others have said, the elevator is broken constantly. .ā€¦Ā See More >

        i guess it's my fault for not listening to the previous reviewers...this building is horrible...i can't stand it anymore but i still have a few months left on my lease. the elevator is always broken; the washers/dryers are always broken and are really expensive;ā€¦Ā See More >

          This place is a Good deal compared to prices throughout the city. The quality of the Apartment is not Luxury but for the price is very fair and in good condition. Only drawback is that it can be noisy outside. Overall iā€¦Ā See More >

            the previous posters are all right on point. besides the noise, noxious chinese cooking smells, dirty hallways, rat infestations, etc, homeless people come into the building regularly to steal clothes out of the dryers in the basement. they also break into apartments. theā€¦Ā See More >

                  I ask ahead of signing the lease whether there are rodent or roach problems. I was assured that there are none. Much to my surprise when I saw a huge rat scurrying along in the hallway a couple of days after i movedā€¦Ā See More >

                    These apartments have several problems. The most bothersome is the noise level. It is above a restaurant that stays open until 4:00 AM, and people are in the parking lot until this time making noise. This restaurant also has whirring exhaust fansā€¦Ā See More >

                      This is a terrible place to live. It's noisy as hell, especially during early morning trash pickups. I'm not sure if it's just the tenants or the restaurant downstairs, but the hallways always smell of chinese cooking - sometimes noxiously so...<br><br>Besides everything elseā€¦Ā See More >

                        Do not rent here. this building is terrible. The building changed management last year and the new management is only concerned about raising rent. <br><br>1) Management does not promptly address maintenance issues. <br><br>2) The elevator is always broken.
