Essex House Van Aken Blvd

We have lived here for 11 years. The neighborhood is wonderful. I would never want to live anywhere else. And the Van Aken district is a five minute walk and filled with restaurants and stores. I love to walk and this is the perfect location to do that. Our apartments faces the golf course and we love the view. The management really cares about the tenants and their needs. They respond quickly to resolve problems and work to fix the problems as quickly as they can. If you are looking for a unique neighborhood and a great place to live then check out Essex House and Blair House.
