Reveal

Living at Essex Reveal has been one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had in an apartment community. The entire property feels completely neglected.
The building is constantly being accessed by homeless individuals who freely use the amenities -- gym, bathrooms, showers -- with zero oversight or intervention. It doesn't feel secure at all, and management seems to do nothing about it.
My motorcycle was almost stolen in the parking garage, and even after reporting it, I received no... real response or concern from the office. They act like these problems don't exist. Emails go ignored, and when you do get a reply, it's dismissive and unhelpful.
The ONLY positive thing I can say is that the maintenance team is great. They actually care and respond quickly.
Unfortunately, good maintenance doesn't make up for feeling unsafe where you live.
For the price they charge, I expected way better. I would not recommend living here unless you're okay with constant security issues and zero support from management. Read More

If I could give them zero stars, I would. I have lived here for the past three years, and they're getting worse yearly. They have over 40 units available, yet they lack response to their own tenants and wonder why no one stays. do not waste your money here. Buildings are always dirty and smell, and the parking structure is the same. They purposely don't respond to you when your year lease is up, so automatically, your lease goes up the highest. There is a huge pest problem that they can't get... done. The balconies look like storages. Some tenants let their dogs pee on their balconies, which results in a bad smell and all sorts of things. And did I mention their management yet? They are very disrespectful and do not care about your emails, calls, and any of the tenant's needs. So do yourself a favor and research before renting one of their apartments. As mentioned, the number of units they have available speaks for itself. Read More

Absent management that refuses to help with a neighbor who has been harassing me since I moved in. Dirty pool. Disgusting trash piles in trash room and garage. No staff or security on site. No access to community room. Dog poop everywhere. Peoples patios filled with junk. Tons of ants and gnats.

Nice apartments yeah most places are where the issue lies is that the leasing office assumed I am lying about this situation. The last management gave me a single parking pass that I immediately displayed on my dash. Come to find out that there is two separate passes needed for my car and they want to tow mine out of my own apartment building. I was only given one, yet because a piece of paper says other wise they want to charge me for the previous managements mistakes. Truly disappointed in... this “management.” Read More

Pros:

The maintenance team was great & friendly, there is an online portal where you can submit tickets and when ever we had a problem it was dealt with in a timely manner. There is a gated parking garage at no additional charge and a security guard that roams it at night. We have had no issues with theft/break ins personally. Neighbors are nice, mostly quiet. There are food trucks outside once a week which is a nice treat. The pool/gym and other amenities are maintained and nice. The... interior of the apartments are great, high ceilings, nice appliances and kitchens.

Cons:

Neighbors leaving their trash in the trash room instead of putting it down the chute. Not a big deal, just annoying when you go into the trash room. The dog park area smells like dog pee. The block we are in is very nice and feels safe but you are on the border of Canoga Park so it's not as nice once you leave the area. By no means dangerous though, just homeless around.

Neutral:

The price is high but the quality of the complex is as well.

I am moving out to move into another Essex property. Read More
