HORRIBLE!!!!! - The building itself is nice as far as decorating, however Lakeview Associates (management) is an absolute terror to deal with. My apartment was extremely dirty when I moved in and the paint was ripped off the wall from the previous tenant. The previous tenant also re-routed the wiring. AND there was a strange smell coming from our heater,and it turned out to be a dead animal in the pipes! ...Full review of 620 W. Belmont

It's ok if you don't mind 2 inches of water in the laundry room - I have lived here to 2 years and overall find it to be mostly enjoyable. The major downside is the laundry room as you will end up in 2 inches of water unless you time out the washing machines just right...if not, it's flooded. The on-site engineer lives there and is EXTREMELY rude when you door/key/lock do not work. I am still waiting on repairs after a year and granted I could ...Full review of 660 W.

DO NOT Rent from REALTY & MORTGAGE CO. especially NOT sublet - If you want to save yourself time and money DO NOT look to rent any apartment from REALTY & MORTGAGE CO. in Lakeview/Wrigleyville. I was deceived by the price of the studio that was a "steal". Now I know why it was a steal. They took $50 from me for nothing. It could be worst though. So I'm happy that everything is over now and I'm done with them. I wanted to take over the lease ...Full review of Fountain Terrace

Overpriced - I moved into this building after having only a few hours to visit Chicago and find an apartment. The apartment was functional, but much smaller and more expensive than other apartments in the neighborhood (as I came to find out later). It was also very noisy. The building next door is very close and the sounds from every apartment echo off the building walls -- so there is never a quiet ...Full review of 532 Roscoe Apartments

New Management - I have lived in this apartment for a year and a half and my words of advice are look elsewhere. The water pressure is horrendous (it's like showering in a mist tent) and you can hear everything in the apartments around you. New management just took over the building and they seem more committed to resolving some of the problems, including laundry machines being down for months at a time and ...Full review of 624-630 West Surf (Banner Property Management)

Still the PROJECTS, just UNDERCOVER - Where do I start; ROACHES, LOTS OF THEM! RATS;EVERYWHERE! MANAGEMENT CLAIMS TO BE ACTIVE IN ELIMINATING TRADITIONALY DEVISIVE COMMUNIAL ELEMENTS. BUT HAVE PROVEN WHOEFULLY UNDERQUALIFIED! PARKING SUCKS AND SECURITY SUCKS. MAINTENENCE PERSONNEL PATRONIZE THE FEMALE TENANTS INEXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. WITH THE INFLUX OF SECTION 8 TENANTS THE RATIO OF MIDDLE CLASS RESIDENTS TO THESE PEOPLE IS ...Full review of Hilliard Apartments

Not the greatest place to live... but Ok for temporary stays. - The Carling Hotel isn't the greatest place to stay in Chicago, but it's tolerable for a short-term stay, at least for some. Biggest issue to date that I'm aware of is some of the tenants who stay there, most of whom are obviously low-income. But they try to be careful about keeping problematic types out of there. ...Full review of Carling Hotel
