I'm shocked at all of the negative comments about 1120 N. LaSalle. I'm curious if anyone that has ever had a problem with their apartment ever told anyone with management or maintenance... Any issues I have ever had with my apartments have been dealt with in a very prompt, professional manner after I brought it up with management.

1. Location
- Transportation - You have access to the Red Line, 156, 36, 22, 70... And you aren't even too far from the Brown/Purple lines or the 151.
- Nightlife/Dining/Shopping - A quick walk from Old Town, Rush St., Mag Mile.
- Groceries - Dominicks, Jewel, CVS, Walgreens, Treasure Island, Potash are all within walking distance.

2. Units
- I have looked at many apartments in the gold coast and river north. 1120 is at the high end when it comes to square footage. They have a 1 bedroom unit that is bigger than most river north 2 bedrooms.
- The prices are right. Considering the amenities and location of this building, there is no doubt that this is one of the best values in the area.

3. Management
- I feel that despite the comments of others, management has always been attentive and helpful. I recently moved from a 2 Bed to a 1 Bed. The 1 Bed had older appliances and dirty carpet. All I did was ask for new carpet and appliances. I moved in and they had already setup a new dishwasher, oven/range, and fridge for me without any trouble.
-They have a very approachable leasing staff - Victoria was very helpful during my recent move.
-The 24 hour door staff is a very friendly group.

To be sure, the building is not perfect...
-It is true, the elevators are VERY slow, and sometimes one of them is not available due to maintenance work or someone moving. This can also make laundry day frustrating.
-It is in a busy area, and there is some noise... If you're moving to LaSalle, it should be somewhat expected though.
-The lobby area is minimal to non-existent, but they have recently done some work to liven it up.
-Visitor parking is generally available, but you usually have to give notice. If all of a sudden a friend is stopping by at night on the weekend, you won't be able to provide a spot for them since management office is closed.

In conclusion, I think it's a great building and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great value in the gold coast.

I have mixed feelings about the numbered review. I have been living there for some time now, and I asked for new appliances. Never got any replacements. I asked for a new dishwasher coz the other wasn't working right. They told me the dishwasher was only a year old. I have been living there for more two years!! The front door staff are a friendly group of people. Liana is either related to the -----, or she is the -----. Has no soul. Its like I'm not paying to live there....i dunno... Anyway, all in all, its okay and anyway, I'm at work most times.
