5600 Wilshire

No response to leasing application submitted. No response to phone calls either

Have lived here for years. DON'T LIVE HERE.

Look up any Essex property and all the recent reviews say the same thing - impossible to get in contact with anyone from management. Have had multiple emails and calls gone unanswered.

I'm sure new residents get the red carpet treatment, but once you become a resident - no contact, or if you do - they never follow up. Awful. I've seen reviews with uninhabitable living conditions that haven't had any follow up - so good luck if you have any other... concerns.

While Essex brags that they have had a high number of renters since Covid - they also increased the rent but completely closed off management services to existing residents. This has to be illegal. Lee mas

This is an apartment where you pay $55-$60 for water/trash every month even you are gone for an entire month. No matter how much you use, you will always end up paying that much for a single occupant. There was a month that I paid over $60 too. I do feel it is a significant amount to pay every month for a single occupant. The environment of the apartment is not that pleasant. My packages were stolen several times. Management team is nice when you do not have any issue. Once you bring any issue... to its attention, you will find out that it is hopeless. Lee mas

Just not worth paying this much to rent an apartment here.
Elevator is often out of service; there were many times that I had to take other elevator and walk a long way to get my unit (this is a huge complex). The garage entrance door frequently does not work properly. While it is being fixed which happens all the time, the door is left open; so it is not a secure/gated parking. There are homeless everywhere when you go out on Wilshire, and there are many empty shops/stores for lease. It is... just declining neighborhood. It is just not worth paying this much for this apartment. I really really regret that I decided to rent this place. I hope others make a better decision. Lee mas

It is just not worth paying the high rent to get this apartment in this area. Elevator is out of service quite often; it is a big complex, with heavy bags of groceries, I had to use other elevator and walk a long way to get my suit many times. Plus, frequently, the garage entrance door does not work properly. I have lost packages delivered to my door several times. There are homeless everywhere when you go out on Wilshire, and many empty stores for lease. This area used to be nice but not... anymore. It is absolutely declining neighborhood. I hope others make a better decision. There are many options nearby areas and West LA. I am regretting my decision to rent this place. Lee mas
