Tucked in the scenic hills of Lafayette, CA, sits Lafayette Highlands, a tranquil apartment community transformed with a mid-century modern makeover including upgraded exteriors and reimagined amenities designed to enhance everyday living. These improvements blend timeless design with modern comfort, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels sophisticated and familiar. The result is a renewed community that offers residents an elevated living experience while maintaining its classic warmth and charm.
Step outside your door and discover newly enhanced amenities and fresh exteriors. Updated with comfort, style, and convenience in mind, these spaces create a welcoming, modern environment for residents and guests alike.
At the heart of this renovation is a simple goal: to create a better living experience for our residents. By identifying opportunities for improvement and investing in our communities, we can make a meaningful impact on everyday life.
At Essex, we understand that the spaces we live in influence how we feel, connect, and thrive. Creating environments that help residents feel happier, healthier, and more inspired is what drives us to continually enhance our communities.
This transformation reflects our commitment to caring about what matters most and creating homes that truly support the people who live in them. We know a home is more than four walls and a roof - it's where memories are made, milestones are celebrated, and life unfolds. See the renovations for yourself and book a tour today.
Our apartment communities span from Mission Hills in Oceanside, San Diego County, to The Elliot at Mukilteo in the Pacific Northwest in some of the most sought-after locations on the West Coast. Choose from bustling city life, quiet comfort in the suburbs, sun and sand at the beach or outdoor adventures and a wide variety of on-site amenities and floor plans that span from studios to townhomes. Whatever your style and budget, we have a community that's right for you.
