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

Dont even call them - Office staff is incredibly rude and treats everyone like low-lives, one of the women in the office is particularly nasty, and she's usually the one that everyone has to deal with, no need to mention names, anyone that lives in Lee street apartment know who I'm talking about. They are also very nosy. Rent is very expensive considering you get almost nothing for it. ...Full review of 7501 North Eastlake (Lee Street Management)

- 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 First of all the apartments are outdated, the elevators never work and are nasty and smell horrible alomost all the time, just recently I've seen roaches in the lobby area as well as on the mezaline.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)

DEATH TRAP - I have to warn people about this place. My boyfriend lived at 2756 Pine Grove for 2 years, having just moved out about a month ago. He reserved the service elevator well in advance to his move out date. About a week earlier, it CAUGHT ON FIRE, there was a thick layer of smoke throughout his floor (he lived on the 7th) but the fire alarms and sprinkler system did not, i repeat, ...Full review of Embassy Apartments

NEVER AGAIN! - I lived in a 2bed/2bathroom for one year and could not WAIT for my lease to be up. I understand that the building is vintage, but it smells horrible, and my room also had mold growing in it. When I complained to the management company, they came in a painted white over it. Not only did they leave the leftover paint can in my room, but the mold just grew threw the wall. GROSS ...Full review of LaSalle Towers

Overall an okay experience. Way too much construction going on for me to live here ever again! - I have enjoyed my experience at this aparment mostly because it is in Chicago. My main problem I had with the building is the construction. I know that everywhere you live you are going to deal with some construction. But here they are renovating every apartment in the building. Talk about noise! I work night shift, so it is very loud when I am trying to sleep. Most people work during the day ...Full review of 222 Pearson East

DO NOT LIVE HERE - It is awful! BJB Partners are horrendous. When I first move here we had a door man and a roof top deck. This past year there was a fire on the deck which instead of fixing they decided to close permately. After the Christmas holidays the door man stopped showing up for work and they never replaced him. Buts its not like we need a doorman as the front door is always broken, you hardly need a ...Full review of 2828 N. Pine Grove
