Keep Away! - The owners try to get as much money as possible from the renters. You have to pay $150 to move in and $150 to move out. Also, owners who are renting out their condos are stingy and in my experience, made up excuses to not give back the entire security deposit. You can get much more for your money in other apartment buildings in Chicago. No doorman, no gym, and a pool that was ...Full review of 3110 N. Sheridan Road

things have changed... - Things have changed here for the worse. When jerome h meyer was running the place it was easy breezy. Now a new company has taken over as of september or october last year and it was a nightmare ever sense. The heat was never warm enough and they did nothing to improve it, they were even brought to court about this issue, multiple times I had health inspectors over to my apartment to ...Full review of 428-438 West Belden

not the best, but pretty darn good! - I've lived here for 2 years, and while I cannot say that this is the best place I've ever lived, it is certainly not as bad as these other reviewers say it is! I give the building a B , the management team an A, and the maintenance team an A-plus . What I love most is my private balcony, the on-site fitness room, and the 24-hour security cameras throughout the ...Full review of Buena Terrace Apartments

Do not live here - Avoid this place at all costs, especially if you are living in a studio. All of the studios here face the brick building next door. It's incredibly loud all the time, from babies crying in the building next door or the Insesint barking of a dog. The street is extremely narrow, so anytime a truck is stopped in the middle of the street (which seems to be often) people lay on their ...Full review of 537 W. Melrose

Do not move here if you don't want to live with roaches. - Don't let your pretty new pristine cabinets and flooring fool you. This place has roaches, and some people have mice. the management company doesn't care to use expensive enough means to fix the problem. I broke my lease immediately. i didn't even have any food in my unit, and i didn't sleep there, and every time I stopped by, I had roach sitings, even ...Full review of Colonial Apartments

- I've lived here for quite sometime. I never really had anything bad to say but through out the last year or so I have huge complaints, thus why I am moving. First of all the apartments are outdated, the elevators never work and are nasty and smell horrible alomost all the time, just recently I've seen roaches in the lobby area as well as on the mezaline. Also, to top it ...Full review of 2101 Michigan Apartments

Fine at first, then got worse as I lived there - I moved in mid-2006 and left mid-2009. Over those 3 years, the place went steadily downhill. The staff was never around so packages were trapped in the office for, sometimes, weeks. There was no way to ask questions or voice concerns (like the roach problem). I would ask for things repeatedly (like, for more than a year) like a place to put my bike or a lease renewal only to ...Full review of Lakeview Sheridan

Double Check Windows! Freezing. - I lived there for a year. Neighborhood is great, and kitchen was nicely renovated. However, THE WINDOWS WERE TOO THIN! I signed the lease in June, so the weather was nice then. But when winter rolled around, and it was 10F outside, my apartment dropped down to about 30F, if not lower. There's a heater, but it jumps off after two hours, so for about 3 ...Full review of 450 West Briar Place Apartments

ROACHES Management does not care - Roaches all over this building. It's disgusting and management doesn't care. I told them several times and they never did anything about it. Also, people smoke in the units and management allows it. ...Full review of 517 West Oakdale (Banner Property Management)
