Not as advertised

Prospective residents should be aware that Essence has not effectively enforced its smoke-free policy. Despite its claims, my unit has repeatedly been exposed to the smell of marijuana and tobacco smoke, impacting the quality of my living environment. I have addressed this issue with management on multiple occasions, yet no substantial measures have been taken to resolve it. This ongoing problem not only diminishes the comfort and health of the living space but also questions the reliability of management's commitment to uphold their own rules. If a smoke-free environment is important to you, it may be prudent to consider this when making your housing decision. Furthermore, for a new building, the frequent breakdown of the elevators are alarming. These elevators not only smell strongly of pet urine, with stains often visible on the floor, but also the pervasive use of artificial scents throughout the building to mask odors only exacerbates the unpleasant atmosphere.

Property Manager at Essence, Responded To This Review

The Essence management team responds to all reports by taking several steps to resolve, from contacting the those being reported on, sending the appropriate notices, and pursuing the options legally available to us. Essence, like other non-smoking buildings cannot guarantee or warranty the smoke-free condition of the designated smoke-free areas. The success of our efforts to make the designated areas smoke-free depends on voluntary compliance. Please continue to reach out to us with your concerns and we will promptly take the steps outlined above.

Nightmare Building: Negligent Management, Stolen Motorcycle, and Unlivable Conditions

Living in this building has been a disappointment from day one. The management is completely useless when it comes to security. My motorcycle was stolen, and they couldn’t care less. They wouldn’t even let me see the security footage to provide description about the thief to the police report. Plus, the balcony is a no-go zone because of the constant smell of weed and cigarettes drifting in. And don’t even think about using the basketball court—the grass is covered in dog poop. Save yourself the headache and find somewhere else to live.

Property Manager at Essence, Responded To This Review

We are disappointed that you have any concerns about the well-being of our community, and we are eager to address the incident with your motorcycle appropriately. Our team is collaborating with our patrol company and local law enforcement, and we have noted your comments about your balcony and basketball court for further action. Will you please reach out to essence@legacypartners.com at your convenience? Thank you.

Beware not as described

Do you like your car broken into, do you have a motorcycle you would want stolen? Inside your apartment, do you like loud music and parties, you like that big grass area by the basketball courts filled with dog poop that's never cleaned. Then this place is for you. Besides your car being broken into your motorcycle will get stolen. There's been multiple incidences of numerous car break-ins same night. Also multiple motorcycles stolen same day. Nobody cares here about anything. Nobody cares in management. They don't have real security. The guy is on his cell phone. Not paying attention at all. Cars are broken into bicycles are stolen from the bike lockup. You can see the padlocks on the ground constantly. This place is not safe at all. Beware.

Property Manager at Essence, Responded To This Review

We have a dedicated staff at Essence who strive to create a sense of community and address all resident concerns each day. We understand your frustrations, and we will work diligently with our patrol company and local police to address recent incidents in the Woodland Hills area that have also affected Essence. We have a beautiful community, a daily porter and evening patrol. We expect that these services provide resident satisfaction, and when we are alerted for the need to improve, we act.
