Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Essex Property Trust, Inc. (“Essex” or the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company and Essex Portfolio, L.P. and subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership,” which holds the operating assets of the Company), prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are normal and recurring in nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Essex is the sole general partner in the Operating Partnership, with a 96.7% general partnership interest as of March 31, 2016 . Total Operating Partnership limited partnership units outstanding were 2,224,968 and 2,214,545 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, and the redemption value of the units, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock totaled $520.3 million and $530.2 million , as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company owned or had ownership interests in 244 stabilized apartment communities, aggregating 59,441 apartment homes, excluding the Company’s ownership in preferred interest co-investments, (collectively, the “Communities”, and individually, a “Community”), two commercial buildings and seven active developments (collectively, the “Portfolio”). The Communities are located in Southern California (primarily Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties), Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area) and the Seattle metropolitan areas. New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", which requires changes to the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity securities and to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases", which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires disclosure regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard must be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. Marketable Securities The Company reports its available for sale securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices (Level 1 for the common stock and investment funds and Level 2 for the unsecured bonds, as defined by the FASB standard for fair value measurements), and any unrealized gain or loss is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses, interest income, and amortization of purchase discounts are included in interest and other income on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , marketable securities consisted primarily of investment-grade unsecured bonds, common stock, investments in mortgage backed securities, investment funds that invest in U.S. treasury or agency securities. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company classified its investments in mortgage backed securities, which mature through November 2019 and September 2020, as held to maturity, and accordingly, these securities are stated at their amortized cost. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , marketable securities consist of the following ($ in thousands): March 31, 2016 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gain Carrying Value Available for sale: Investment-grade unsecured bonds $ 9,603 $ 154 $ 9,757 Investment funds - U.S. treasuries 5,019 2 5,021 Common stock and stock funds 32,576 7,311 39,887 Held to maturity: Mortgage backed securities 83,932 — 83,932 Total - Marketable securities $ 131,130 $ 7,467 $ 138,597 December 31, 2015 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gain (Loss) Carrying Value Available for sale: Investment-grade unsecured bonds $ 11,618 $ 68 $ 11,686 Investment funds - U.S. treasuries 3,675 (9 ) 3,666 Common stock and stock funds 34,655 7,091 41,746 Held to maturity: Mortgage backed securities 80,387 — 80,387 Total - Marketable securities $ 130,335 $ 7,150 $ 137,485 The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of a security sold and to reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income for securities sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the proceeds from sales of available for sale securities totaled $5.0 million and $0.7 million , respectively, which resulted in $0.7 million realized gains and no realized gains or losses, respectively. Variable Interest Entities In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 "Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which provides new consolidation guidance and makes changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. Among other changes, the new standard specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the new standard, it determined that no change was required to its accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). However, under the guidance of ASU No. 2015-02, 9 previously consolidated co-investments now meet the definition of a VIE and requires additional disclosure about these VIEs which the Company continues to consolidate as they were determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company continues to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Operating Partnership and 19 DownREIT limited partnerships (comprising eleven communities). Commencing on January 1, 2016, 9 other consolidated co-investments were determined to be VIEs and the Company continued to consolidate as they were determined to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidated total assets and liabilities related to the 9 consolidated co-investments and 19 DownREIT limited partnerships, net of intercompany eliminations, were approximately $904.4 million and $231.4 million , respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and $893.1 million and $231.8 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2015 . Noncontrolling interests in these entities was $55.0 million and $54.6 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company's financial risk in each VIE is limited to its equity investment in the VIE. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company did not have any other VIEs of which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary and did not have any VIEs of which it was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Equity-based Compensation The cost of share and unit based compensation awards is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company are being amortized over the vesting period. The estimated grant date fair values of the long term incentive plan units (discussed in Note 13, “Equity Based Compensation Plans,” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 ) are being amortized over the expected service periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Management believes that the carrying amounts of the outstanding balances under its lines of credit, and notes and other receivables approximate fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , because interest rates, yields, and other terms for these instruments are consistent with yields and other terms currently available for similar instruments. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s $4.6 billion of fixed rate debt, including unsecured debt, at March 31, 2016 is approximately $4.8 billion and the Company’s variable rate debt at March 31, 2016 approximates its fair value based on the terms of existing mortgage notes payable, unsecured debt, and variable rate demand notes compared to those available in the marketplace. Management believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, construction payables, other liabilities, and dividends payable approximate fair value as of March 31, 2016 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities, except mortgage backed securities that are held to maturity, and derivatives are carried at fair value as of March 31, 2016 . At March 31, 2016 , the Company’s investments in mortgage backed securities had a carrying value of $83.9 million and the Company estimated the fair value to be approximately $113.3 million . At December 31, 2015 , the Company’s investments in mortgage backed securities had a carrying value of $80.4 million and the Company estimated the fair value to be approximately $110.2 million . The Company determines the fair value of the mortgage backed securities based on unobservable inputs (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) considering the assumptions that market participants would make in valuing these securities. Assumptions such as estimated default rates and discount rates are used to determine expected discounted cash flows to estimate the fair value. Capitalization of Costs The Company’s capitalized internal costs related to development and redevelopment projects were comprised primarily of employee compensation and totaled $3.2 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The Company capitalizes leasing commissions associated with the lease-up of development communities and amortizes the costs over the life of the leases. The amounts capitalized for leasing commissions are immaterial for all periods presented. Co-investments The Company owns investments in joint ventures (“co-investments”) in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for co-investments using the equity method of accounting. The equity method employs the accrual basis for recognizing the investor’s share of investee income or losses. In addition, distributions received from the investee are treated as a reduction in the investment account, not as income. The significant accounting policies of the Company’s co-investment entities are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects. Upon the acquisition of a controlling interest of a co-investment, the co-investment entity is consolidated and a gain or loss is recognized upon the remeasurement of co-investments in the condensed consolidated statement of income equal to the amount by which the fair value of the co-investment interest the Company previously owned exceeds its carrying value. A majority of the co-investments, excluding the preferred equity investments, compensate the Company for its asset management services and some of these investments may provide promote income if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved. Asset management fees are recognized when earned, and promote fees are recognized when the earnings events have occurred and the amount is determinable and collectible. Any promote fees are reflected in equity income from co-investments. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net by Component Essex Property Trust, Inc.

Realized gains and losses on available for sale securities are included in interest and other income on the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. Accounting Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing, and assessing the carrying values of its real estate portfolio, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its notes receivables, and its qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company's segment disclosures present the measure used by the chief operating decision makers for purposes of assessing each segment's performance. Essex's chief operating decision makers are comprised of several members of its executive management team who use NOI to assess the performance of the business for the Company's reportable operating segments. NOI represents total property revenue less direct property operating expenses. The executive management team evaluates the Company's operating performance geographically. The Company defines its reportable operating segments as the three geographical regions in which its communities are located: Southern California, Northern California, and Seattle Metro. Excluded from segment revenues and net operating income are management and other fees from affiliates and interest and other income. Non-segment revenues and net operating income included in the following schedule also consist of revenue generated from commercial properties. Other non-segment assets include real estate under development, co-investments, cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets. The revenues and net operating income for each of the reportable operating segments are summarized as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2016 2015 Revenues: Southern California $ 141,492 $ 123,455 Northern California 112,733 102,427 Seattle Metro 52,074 48,654 Other real estate assets 5,879 5,693 Total property revenues $ 312,178 $ 280,229 Net operating income: Southern California $ 96,453 $ 83,088 Northern California 80,711 72,516 Seattle Metro 35,689 33,129 Other real estate assets 4,835 4,325 Total net operating income 217,688 193,058 Depreciation and amortization (109,707 ) (106,907 ) Interest expense (52,466 ) (47,546 ) Total return swap income 3,123 — Management and other fees from affiliates 2,024 2,644 General and administrative (9,182 ) (10,545 ) Merger and integration expenses — (2,388 ) Acquisition and investment related costs (828 ) (547 ) Interest and other income 5,208 4,199 Gain on sale of real estate and land 20,258 7,112 Deferred tax expense on gain on sale of real estate and land (4,279 ) — Equity income in co-investments 15,068 4,311 Gain on remeasurement of co-investment — 21,362 Net income $ 86,907 $ 64,753 Total assets for each of the reportable operating segments are summarized as follows as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands): March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Assets: Southern California $ 4,875,525 $ 4,912,264 Northern California 3,892,121 3,749,072 Seattle Metro 1,698,550 1,613,175 Other real estate assets 108,679 107,066 Net reportable operating segment - real estate assets 10,574,875 10,381,577 Real estate under development 145,711 242,326 Co-investments 1,069,684 1,036,047 Real estate held for sale, net — 26,879 Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash 80,483 123,055 Marketable securities 138,597 137,485 Notes and other receivables 18,198 19,285 Other non-segment assets 39,936 38,437 Total assets $ 12,067,484 $ 12,005,091 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities As of March 31, 2016 , the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $225 million that effectively fixed the interest rate on the $225 million unsecured term loan at 2.4% . These derivatives qualify for hedge accounting. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company has interest rate caps, which are not accounted for as hedges, totaling a notional amount of $20.7 million that effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying variable interest rate for $20.7 million of the Company’s tax exempt variable rate debt. As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the aggregate carrying value of the interest rate swap contracts was a liability of $1.0 million , and is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying value of the interest rate cap was zero on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Hedge ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges, which is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated income statements, net was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Additionally, the Company has entered into total return swaps that effectively convert $257.3 million of mortgage notes payable to a floating interest rate based on SIFMA plus a spread. The total return swaps provide fair market value protection on the mortgage notes payable to our counterparties during the initial period of the total return swap until the Company's option to call the mortgage notes at par can be exercised. The Company can currently call the total return swaps with $114.4 million of the outstanding debt at par, while the call option on the total return swaps relating to $142.9 million of outstanding debt can be exercised starting on January 1, 2017. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and had a carrying and fair value of $13 thousand and $4 thousand at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. These total return swaps are scheduled to mature between September 2021 and November 2022 . Realized gains of $3.1 million and zero are reported in the condensed consolidated income statements as total return swap income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies To the extent that an environmental matter arises or is identified in the future that has other than a remote risk of having a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company will disclose the estimated range of possible outcomes associated with it, and, if an outcome is probable, accrue an appropriate liability for that matter. The Company will consider whether any such matter results in an impairment of value on the affected property and, if so, impairment will be recognized. The Company is subject to various lawsuits in the normal course of its business operations. We believe that, with respect to such matters we are currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matter will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", which requires changes to the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity securities and to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases", which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires disclosure regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard must be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 "Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which provides new consolidation guidance and makes changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. Among other changes, the new standard specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the new standard, it determined that no change was required to its accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). However, under the guidance of ASU No. 2015-02, 9 previously consolidated co-investments now meet the definition of a VIE and requires additional disclosure about these VIEs which the Company continues to consolidate as they were determined to be the primary beneficiary. |
Marketable Securities | The Company reports its available for sale securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices (Level 1 for the common stock and investment funds and Level 2 for the unsecured bonds, as defined by the FASB standard for fair value measurements), and any unrealized gain or loss is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses, interest income, and amortization of purchase discounts are included in interest and other income on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. |
Variable Interest Entities | The Company continues to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Operating Partnership and 19 DownREIT limited partnerships (comprising eleven communities). Commencing on January 1, 2016, 9 other consolidated co-investments were determined to be VIEs and the Company continued to consolidate as they were determined to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidated total assets and liabilities related to the 9 consolidated co-investments and 19 DownREIT limited partnerships, net of intercompany eliminations, were approximately $904.4 million and $231.4 million , respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and $893.1 million and $231.8 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2015 . Noncontrolling interests in these entities was $55.0 million and $54.6 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company's financial risk in each VIE is limited to its equity investment in the VIE. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company did not have any other VIEs of which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary and did not have any VIEs of which it was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. |
Equity Based Compensation | The cost of share and unit based compensation awards is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company are being amortized over the vesting period. The estimated grant date fair values of the long term incentive plan units (discussed in Note 13, “Equity Based Compensation Plans,” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 ) are being amortized over the expected service periods. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Management believes that the carrying amounts of the outstanding balances under its lines of credit, and notes and other receivables approximate fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , because interest rates, yields, and other terms for these instruments are consistent with yields and other terms currently available for similar instruments. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s $4.6 billion of fixed rate debt, including unsecured debt, at March 31, 2016 is approximately $4.8 billion and the Company’s variable rate debt at March 31, 2016 approximates its fair value based on the terms of existing mortgage notes payable, unsecured debt, and variable rate demand notes compared to those available in the marketplace. Management believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, construction payables, other liabilities, and dividends payable approximate fair value as of March 31, 2016 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities, except mortgage backed securities that are held to maturity, and derivatives are carried at fair value as of March 31, 2016 . At March 31, 2016 , the Company’s investments in mortgage backed securities had a carrying value of $83.9 million and the Company estimated the fair value to be approximately $113.3 million . At December 31, 2015 , the Company’s investments in mortgage backed securities had a carrying value of $80.4 million and the Company estimated the fair value to be approximately $110.2 million . The Company determines the fair value of the mortgage backed securities based on unobservable inputs (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) considering the assumptions that market participants would make in valuing these securities. Assumptions such as estimated default rates and discount rates are used to determine expected discounted cash flows to estimate the fair value. |
Capitalization of Costs | The Company’s capitalized internal costs related to development and redevelopment projects were comprised primarily of employee compensation and totaled $3.2 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The Company capitalizes leasing commissions associated with the lease-up of development communities and amortizes the costs over the life of the leases. The amounts capitalized for leasing commissions are immaterial for all periods presented. |
Co-investments | The Company owns investments in joint ventures (“co-investments”) in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for co-investments using the equity method of accounting. The equity method employs the accrual basis for recognizing the investor’s share of investee income or losses. In addition, distributions received from the investee are treated as a reduction in the investment account, not as income. The significant accounting policies of the Company’s co-investment entities are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects. Upon the acquisition of a controlling interest of a co-investment, the co-investment entity is consolidated and a gain or loss is recognized upon the remeasurement of co-investments in the condensed consolidated statement of income equal to the amount by which the fair value of the co-investment interest the Company previously owned exceeds its carrying value. A majority of the co-investments, excluding the preferred equity investments, compensate the Company for its asset management services and some of these investments may provide promote income if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved. Asset management fees are recognized when earned, and promote fees are recognized when the earnings events have occurred and the amount is determinable and collectible. Any promote fees are reflected in equity income from co-investments. |
Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss in connection with derivatives are recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on available for sale securities are included in interest and other income on the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. |
Accounting Estimates | The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing, and assessing the carrying values of its real estate portfolio, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its notes receivables, and its qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions. |
