At Essex, we believe that creating a positive living experience extends beyond the grounds of our communities and into each neighborhood that we serve. At a local level, we participate in school supply drives, fundraisers, holiday gift drives, and more. At the corporate level, we are passionate about giving back in the form of organized workplace giving and donating our time to a variety of volunteer activities.

Essex Cares About Community
Our mission is to develop communities that have a positive impact on the environment, society, and the local community.

The four pillars of our corporate social responsibility strategy include improving our residents’ well-being, creating a positive work experience for our employees, reducing our environmental footprint, and delivering long-term results for our investors.
As industry leaders, we recognize the importance of building and sustaining eco-friendly apartment homes.
