    Management company does not care about tenants and acts in bad faith
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is the only good thing
    Cons:
    The building was not clean and clearly not well maintained, stairs were dirty, and the appliances were old and so hard to get fixed.

    But the worst part is the management company. They are really slow replying and tough to get through, very aggressive and not helpful at all. Don't count on them helping on anything. To make it even worse, they refused to give back my security deposit and were extremely rude and unhelpful.
    Advice to owner:
    Change EVERYTHING, start thinking about the tenant. Be fair.

    Well-Priced Apartments, Great Location, yet Management Could be Improved
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing location, Great Price for what you get, Responsive and Helpful Super
    Cons:
    Issues with Mice. Management is Unreliable at Times with Slow Responsiveness and not super understanding at times. Other times, quite helpful. My roommate and I had very different experiences. Old Building that isn’t Super Well Maintained in Certain Aspects
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate the units and better responsiveness and transparency from Esquire management

    Make sure everything works before signing
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I would say only the location
    Cons:
    Dirty stairs, management barely reply to your emails when you need maintenance, but of course when it’s time to pay rent they will be on top of you
    Advice to owner:
    Fix all the problems in that building before renting any apartment please!!! Don’t lie to people
