I really enjoy living here! The complex is well maintained. The staff at Essex is very responsive to my messages. I love the electronic locks on the door and the smart home devices in the apartment. I received a key that didn’t work for the pool/gym. I put in a maintenance request and Gabe had a new key within the hour of my request. He was very friendly and gave my doggie some love! 💕 The community is very quiet and I really love my apartment. As a single Mom, I feel very safe here. It’s very family friendly and the views here are beautiful.

Excellent property management company, but I especially want to commend the professionalism and attentiveness of Virginia Gruver! Virginia is always efficient with facilitating tenant needs, both Lafayette Highlands, and its tenants, are fortunate to have Virginia’s assistance!
