I have had the pleasure of living in the St Nicholas for 6 months now. I love this building. It has felt like home from day 1. The architectural detail is beautiful and creates an ambiance i have not found in other apartment buildings. The location is also 1 of my favorite features. I actually have a view of the state capitol, and can walk to lots of restaurants and shops. The train station is right across the street making easy travel to Chicago & St Louis. I can't imagine a better choice in Springfield. There is plenty of parking but it is an additional charge in lots located around the building.
