What has this place come to - In 1987 St. Stephen had an entirely different cosmetic outside. As the management changed so did the landscape, tenants, and gang activity. They called themselves putting up gates to keep out gang activity, and people from the projects accross the street. The first set of security did a good job walking the ground and they hassled everyone Tenants and non- tenants equally. Things took ...Full review of St Stephen Terrace Apartments

A lovely case for the Illinois Tenants Union - Wow, where do I start? First off, the apartment wasn't even ready on the lease date and they didn't even offer the courtesy of a pro-rate. Upon moving in, this is the list of things that missing or defective: Blinds, kitchen sink plug, bathroom mirror magnet, closet door knob, poor water pressure, broken dishwasher, a toilet top that didnt even fit the ...Full review of 5516 North Kenmore

My first imitation apartment! - I moved into 620 W. Surf when I graduated college because I couln't stand living with my family anymore & was far to impatient to take my time looking for a better deal. The building was managed better when Mary C. was alive (R.I.P Mary!), but it wasn't Hasans fault that things started to fall apart, he had to manage several buildings for Realty & Mortgage. The apartments are ...Full review of 620 West Surf

Ex resident - The neighbors are quite some of the time, the grounds are kept clean all of the time. There are nolonger any teenagers roaming about back and forth. Although, there are drug addicts that hang out in the laundry room they will leave once you come in. The hallways smell very bad the carpet has been there for years and never professionally cleaned just mopped over. The manager Shelia is ...Full review of Lake Village East

Horrible, horrible company that broke our lease (for condos) - This is easily the worst company I have ever rented from. From never having lightbulbs in our stair case (meaning every night we had to navigate three flights of stairs in the pitch black) to not having a working doorknob on the outside door to erratic heating during the winter, our time spent living with Lee Street was always made consistently frustrating by Lee Street's poor ...Full review of 1215-1225 West Granville (Lee Street Management)

Too much for way too little - I paid $750 a month for a nice size studio. The guys next door would always be fighting until 3 am & for some reason some guy would come down from one of the upper floors & use the shower in the vacant apartment next to mine. Other than being overpriced & a little dirty the place wasn't that bad. On the other hand I would never ever rent another place that was owned by Planned Property ...Full review of 450 West Melrose

Rent elsewhere, stay away. - 1. OVERPRICED. They will tell you in a sing-song voice: Location, location. And that is precisely what they're banking on. 2. UNKEMPT. The common areas are almost never vacuumed, mopped or otherwise looked after. 3. BAD TENANTS. Loud, rude, tenants who themselves don't care about the place. They let their dogs poop everywhere, and don't care about how loud they are ...Full review of 3912 North Pine Grove Avenue Apartments

Not as good as you think - Pretty good deal for that amount of space, but the maintenance was awful. And that can make for a difficult life. Maintenance is very hard to get a hold of and they take forever to fix things. Some things were next fixed after a year of living there. After a while I gave up. And they are not able to put non 773 phone numbers on their intercom. BEWARE! They refuse to either take your name off ...Full review of 601 West Deming

A dump, and the property manager is rude - Whenever something breaks in the apartment, Denise says you broke it. She accused me of causing the toilet to overflow but it was the plumbing. The downstairs neighbors blasted rap music all night. ...Full review of 7516-7518 North Eastlake (Lee Street Management)
