Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2004
This was one of my favorite apartments and buildings. But I noticed that the most recent review complained about the internal tenant noise. I lived in the building two years and was never disturbed by any noise. If you're someone who watches tv or listens to music when you are home you probably won't notice a thing. I sometimes overheard a neighbor getting around for work/school in the morning and that's about it. I have yet to live in ANY building in Chicago where you hear absolutely nothing in your apartment.
1260 is a vintage building from the 1930's and people need to remember not to compare it to a new construction. If you like newer structures then you won't like this building. It has its own character and charm and is well maintained for its age. There is a european style restaurant, salon and dry cleaners in the lobby. Management is attentive and prompt when you need them but otherwise leave you alone. There is no doorman but there is a lobby intercom system and you can view the lobby from your tv. Having the restaurant in the lobby actually makes you feel even safer because there is always someone around until the early hours of the morning.
In response to some of the people who thought the apartments were overpriced, if anything they're underpriced and a great value for the neighborhood. The Gold Coast is the most premiere neighborhood in Chicago and the majority of it is very expensive. Compared to some of the 1960s & 1970s buildings a little further north and others on Dearborn this building is far superior. Rent includes heat, basic cable and in the summers you can rent air conditioners for $100 that managment will install for the season. (There is no parking available.)
The Gold Coast is the best neighborhood in Chicago and this is one of the best vintage buildings.
