Great Place to Live!!! - I moved here in January and was able to move into my apartment that very same day which was more than convenient considering I was crashing on my friend's couch! While some reviews here trash the place keep in mind these reviews are from 2007 and earlier. I've never had any problems, the rent is an incredible deal considering the gym and bike room. I was at a friend's studio which ...Full review of Scholars Corner

Happy at last! - I have moved here about a few months ago; however, I have lived in the neighborhood for a few years now. Obviously, I am very happy with the area; however, there were problems in the building where I lived before and needed to move. A friend who already lives in the building recommended this apt and I could not be happier! It's a very clean, safe and secured building with a ...Full review of 1628 W Sherwin

- This place is probably the most reasonably priced building in the neighborhood. The street is safe. The building is close to the Chicago Red Line AND several buses on Marine Drive - many of which are express. If you go west of broadway, the neighborhood can be a bit sketchy at night. But, during the day time the neighborhood is very vibrant. The building is very well maintained. The ...Full review of 850 W Argyle

Great location, but a few issues - The building is in a very safe & quiet area. Rent includes free heat, wifi & gas. Noise can be a problem (it's sometimes possible to hear your neighbors), and there is some construction work going on at one side of the building currently. ...Full review of 5550 South Dorchester

Great! - As my first apartment ever while still in school this was a Godsend. The price was real great, good location, 157 bus (goes South down michigan) literally right outside the building , doorman and management were wonderful and I literally have minor to none complaints. There were some days though where I could walk around the whole building, keep my door unlocked with no ...Full review of 860 Dewitt Apartments

Outer Apartments A Must, Then it's all good - Make sure you rent a unit that faces Clark street or Buckingham Place. I lived here for two years and enjoyed it very much. Most friends and guests thought it was a condo. I had a 2 bedroom 2 bath facing Clark. If it weren't for the fact that my relationship ended I would have stayed. I even tried finding a room mate. My dish washer broke and they fixed it right away. The walls are thin but ...Full review of Buckingham Lofts

We're happy now !!! - I've lived in this building for 11 years. Lee Street Management used to have a property manager named Denise. She was a real psycho------. Fortunately, she is gone now and everyone in the building is very happy. The rest of the people in the management office are real helpful and nice. As far as I'm concerned, I could live here till I die...if they don't go condo. James ...Full review of 1310-1320 West Birchwood (Lee Street Management)

About your only option if you want space, all the little things done right, and a great location - We looked all over before picking this building, and it was well worth the effort. While all our friends were in tiny convertibles or 1 bedrooms with tiny living rooms for the same money, we had an entryway/dining room open to a huge 20x16 living room. Great when other places were making us claustrophobic. The net result is a huge open feeling that goes from the door all the way to the ...Full review of 230 E Ontario Building

Good Experience - I've lived here with a roommate for 2 years now. It's been great! ZERO (!!) PEST PROBLEMS! Except the occasional little bug that comes in under the balcony door. Maintenance usually OK to respond, except when I came back from a weekend out of town and found water spots all over my ceiling and a wet rug. I called IMMEDIATELY and left a message on the emergency line. NO RESPONSE. ...Full review of 917 West Dakin
