Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of ESQUIRE GROUP ESTATES LLC buildings reveal mixed experiences with management. Tenants appreciate the central locations, decent layouts, and some responsive onsite superintendents. However, persistent issues include subpar cleanliness, especially in common areas, inadequate garbage management, and recurring pest problems like mice and roaches. Noise from neighbors and thin walls is a common complaint, alongside occasional heating and water pressure inconsistencies. Several renters suggest improvements in building upkeep, pest control, and upgrading staff responsiveness. While some tenants recommend staying due to location and unit conditions, others advise caution due to maintenance and management shortcomings.

Not the best

Pros

Nice location, friendly neighborhood, laundry room is great. In building gym, key fob access

Cons

We caught 8 mice in our one year living here. The hallways were always grimy and smelled like cigarette smoke. The super has several huskies that he lets out in the back alley, they poop everywhere so the back alley is usually infested with flies. The walls were so thin, we could smell the incense our neighbor would light every day, and could hear kids running around in the unit above us.
