The place to be in... - The shoreham is an amazing apartment. It has a very friendly staff. We had to break our lease in between and they cooperated with us a lot. They advertised our apartment for a fee of $500 and when someone decided to move from 15th I just had to pay extra rent for half a month. i had stayed in PT before and the staff is so rigid there. the staff is always friendly and ready to help u. Not to ...Full review of The Shoreham

Draper and Kramer has made some nice improvements - This building has been taken over sometime in 2007 I believe. Since then, they've redone the lobby, redone the sundeck furniture, redone the lounge, and redone the computer lab, among other things. The place looks nicer and helps justify the price tag now. The building is in one word: convenient. Very close to the el, has a small gym, free internet, ...Full review of 180 North Jefferson

Only live here if you want added stress in your life!! - I have lived here for 2 months. In these 2 months I have been more stressed out than ever because of all the problems with this building. When I was first moving in I noticed the fire escape door at the end of my hall way was broken. I went to examine it and the top hinge was missing a screw which caused the door to hang off the wall instead of closing properly. I told the management about it ...Full review of 1036 North Dearborn

Gotta love the Grandeur - I'm leaving the Grandeur this month(Having Baby, relocating) but would recommend this apartment complex to a friend or family, I would stay myself if not for extenuating circumstances. I have lived on the 8th floor in a studio since 2008 and have enjoyed my apartment as well as my neighbors and manager. My utlities have always functioned properly and on the rare occasion I may have ...Full review of The Grandeur

Good value in a great neighborhood - Great location, 1.5 blocks to the Red Line and close to many bus lines, two grocery stores very close by - no need for a car here. Building is old, not a lot of amenities, but definitely one of the most affordable in the area, so most tenants are college/grad students and 20-somethings. The layout of the large studio apartment works really well, plenty of storage so ...Full review of Dearborn North Apartments

my two cents - Wow, people have had time to write this holiday weekend. I throw myself into that bunch, obviously. I wanted to see what s out there and line up my options because my lease is coming up for renewal. Listen, all I can say is 420 used to be awesome. Lived here a number of years. The thing that makes it special is the community of tenants. The old-timers I should specify ...Full review of 420 East Ohio

Loved the experience -- read all of the posts with an eye for bias - I've read the other posts on here about 400 North LaSalle and it appears there were some reviews written with some ignorance about urban high-rise living. Yes, the rents are high until you consider there are no assessments with the lease and other buildings downtown have $1,000 monthly assessments. Yes, the building is going condo and all leases have a 60 day out. What has ...Full review of 400 North LaSalle

Don't be fooled by the view! - Great view for the apartments facing the lake. BUT, treble management, dishonest building manager (Fran); chilly in the winter since windows are low quality and not sealed well (plus up to $400 electricity bills for a 2BR apt); can't use the balconies due to noise from Lake Shore Dr. ...Full review of 4100 N Marine Drive Building

Review for 1622 W. Cornelia by Central City Management - I've lived at this location for 8 months and sadly to say have to move out. Have had great experience dealing with Morrie Liebling and Shaun -- they've always been very responsive and accommodating to take care of any issues. The apartment itself is very well kept, the building always clean and also meticulously taken care of. The rent cost is very fair -- it's a great deal for ...Full review of 10 West Elm Street Apartments (managed by Central City Management)

I love my apartment and being right by the lake. - I currently live at this location and I disagree with any negative comments on the place. The manager is nice, and so are all of my neighbors. If there has been a time where I needed help (even the small things) the maintenance has been there within the hour. If I wasn't moving I would have stayed and renewed my lease and stayed in my vintage charm apartment. It has been wonderful ...Full review of Parc Paris Apartments
