Nicknamed the “City of Squares” for its intersecting commercial districts, Cambridge offers residents direct access to urban amenities. Kendall Square can be compared to Silicon Valley due to its continuously growing concentration of start-ups.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Ten Essex
I've really enjoyed my experience at 10 Essex. The maintenance team is extremely quick to respond and Tracy and Troy are both very friendly to deal with. The building is super convenient to MIT's campus and there's a grocery store right downstairs. It's simple and no fuss.
I moved in when 10 Essex was complete and brand new but my experience has been uncomfortable. Aside from general maintenance issues (that you wouldn't expect in a brand new building) this area is really loud. If its not the nearby outdoor concert venue that plays extremely loud music throughout the day and night its trucks loading an unloading nearby
10 Essex is a brand new building in a fantastic location in central square and moving in when it opened in September 2019 seemed like a great decision. My experience with my particular unit started off awful and only got worse. While the management has been recently changed, the building as a whole has had so many inherent issues from day 1. There have been leaks in multiple units and throughout the building that have not or cannot be fixed. The basement garage flooded on Christmas and all of the cars in it suffered major damage. The elevator for this 6 floor building was out of service completely for 2 months and communication around this issue was non-existent. There have been multiple malfunctions of the alarm system where the alarm sounded at full volume regularly for multiple days. Everyone I have spoken to in the building has had negative experiences of varying degrees, with multiple other residents attempting to gather the tenants together to take collective action. There aren't really any reviews of this building, I think because when people move out they just want to be done with it.
