3130 North Lake Shore Drive Apartments

A decent place to live From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 6/8/2008 Years at this apartment: 2008 - 2008   The only reason that I'm writing on here is because I keep seeing the extreme views of living here. I have lived here almost a year, and you know what' It's not a bad place to live. I'll give it to you straight: the windows in the building are older, so it makes it a little chilly during the really cold days of winter. They do try to keep it warm, but it's just the draft from the windows that makes a big difference. Are the elevators slow' Yes. Have I had huge issues with them' No. So, maybe I lose an extra two minutes out of my day. Believe me. It's not the end of the world. I've never had leaks, I don't have huge issues with thin walls. Yes, I can hear my neighbors sometimes. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've really been bothered by it. Most of the time, I hear nothing from them. Am I paying more simply for the lake view than I should' Probably. But, it's a damn good view. I think you just have to keep in mind that wherever you move there are going to be issues eventually. I can tell you that whenever I've reported issues to management, they've been taken care of within hours of my calls. What do I like about living here' It's so close to transportation and the lake as well as the general Lakeview/Lincoln Park area. It's a great area to live in, and for the most part, I feel pretty safe here. I like that the people in the store say hello. I like that the dry cleaners in the building know me by name. I like that most people will say hello to each other in the elevator. I realize some people have had bad experiences, and I do feel bad for them. But, mine has really been positive so far, and as long as they don't raise the rent too much, I'll probably renew my lease.
