City - Lafayette

Minutes from Oakland and San Francisco and practically right next door from the shopping, dining, and nightlife of Walnut Creek, Lafayette enjoys a perfect location for taking advantage of everything the North Bay Area has to offer. BART bus and rail service adds to the convenience, whether you’re a commuter or just checking out the neighboring communities for the day.

In town, the environment is mostly suburban, with top-notch schools, one of the lowest crime rates in the state, and an abundance of locally-owned shops and restaurants. The parks in town offer something for every taste, from small neighborhood greenspaces to enormous, trail-filled nature preserves like Lafayette Reservoir and Briones Hills.

JUST AWFUL

The walls are PAPER thin, you can hear every word your neighbors say. When someone orders a package it is just thrown in front of the mailboxes anyone could steal them. There has been an outrageous about of car break-ins. Not the place to live if you want it to be peaceful. Lastly, there is no on-site leasing office, even though they advertise one.

Property Manager at Lafayette Highlands, Responded To This Review

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced, including the thin walls and the lack of a secure package delivery. We would love to personally connect to discuss your experience further. We understand that these issues have impacted your experience, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention. -Essex Resident Services Team
