DO NOT LIVE HERE - This place is the worst ever. There are bugs crawling in my apartment everywhere, the water faucets do not work and building management never responds to any complaints. I signed because it was cheap but learned my lesson. Stay far far away!! ...Full review of Delaware Towers

Keep looking - This place is a fcuking joke. Their ads say you can "live like an accountant and party like a rockstar" and I'm here to tell you that is bulllshit. First of all, although it doesn't cost $1500 for a 1 br unit here like it does for a downtown or north side highrise, it's not exactly cheap to live here either, and you really don't get much (a tiny outdated ...Full review of Lake Meadows

NO - My apartment was broken into twice, there is not enough security to patrol the complex, too many section 8 people to break in while you are at work, alarm systems don't work, people jump the gate from Roosevelt and Ashland to get into the complex without being noticed, muggings, rat problems, did I say not enough SECURITY! I hate I ever moved there. The police ...Full review of Circle Park Apartments

These are apartments...not homes - Columbus Plaza wasn t always bad, but over the five years I ve lived here, I ve seen a definite change from a quiet building into a transient student dormitory. Students roam the halls during the evening/night time going from friend s apartment to friend s apartment. They re not loud just annoying if you hear them knocking on doors like on my floor (I think there are three ...Full review of Columbus Plaza Apartments

Wow - Depends what you like really. If you like paying overly inflated prices for great amenities such as cockroaches in the halls, super thin windows along with an extremely poor hearing service that make winter unbearable, paper thin walls so you can hear your neighbors cough, blown fuses if you try to use a portable heating unit to make up for their entire lack of heat, blown fuses ...Full review of 350 W Oakdale Apartments

DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING - I own a condominium that backs up onto this building. We have notified the police and alderman's office multiple times regarding both the appearance of the areas around the building and the actions of multiple tenants. Recently, one tenant was seen beating his girlfriend and smashing her face against the window. There was a large police presence two weeks ago when "an argument ...Full review of 505 W Belmont Building

Keep looking - The place seems great at first...the engineer of jovial and full of life when he shows you the apartment, the view (on the upper levels) is fantastic, but don't be fooled!! Parliament allows people to live in the common stairwells and does not fix serious issues (ie: leaking ceilings in 3 rooms of the apartment when it rains). During my time at 516 W. Briar, I know that every ...Full review of 516 West Briar (Parliament Enterprises)

Don't be fooled... - You can fall in love with the location of this place, it's great for anyone who loves Chicago. What is sad is the owners know the location is it's selling point, but they have downgraded this building quite considerably. Management here is awful, the worst I have ever dealt with. Too many people who have positions and don't have a clue about what they are doing.

I ...Full review of Doral Michigan Avenue

Honest opinion...pros and cons. - How to know what is the right apartment for you is basically asking yourself how do I know if I'll like this roller-coaster ride? The answer, observations and testimonies may help, but it really comes down to you until you try it. Your first intuition would be is going online and read reviews. You'll be fortunate enough if you can interview former tenants, which is the best ...Full review of Catherine Court Apartments

Never Again - My partner and I have been living in one of Lee Street's buildings for about a year now, and are happy to say that we are not renewing our lease. The building is falling apart - there are huge foundation cracks throughout the building, including the lobby (if you can even call it that), the courtyard sidewalk, the walls, the ceilings, and near the dungeon-like laundry ...Full review of 7618-7626 North Eastlake (Lee Street Management)
