  • 10 year experience with Essex House

    February 10, 2020
    My experience of the management within this building has been excellent. Gina and Stacey have been more than kind in listening to and addressing my needs. I have been here 10 years, and will continue having this as my residence for years to come. There are many young people moving in and out of here yearly. The young students and interns find this as a convenient location and financially a good price for them. Word of mouth fills the units from one school year to the next. The frequent ...
    changeover of residents create a toll on the management staff. However, I have observed them move through every season with professionalism and care. It is not an easy task to serve so many new people within each unit ... attempting to address their needs as they move in and out. There are young and old who live in this building. I totally enjoy the interaction with the many nationalities and ages of people who reside here.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
