meh - Since you'll likely be renting from a condo owner, your experience with your apartment will probably vary greatly depending on the particular unit. I'll try to keep to the building itself. The units are pretty spacious -- plenty of room for anything you'd probably want in a one-bedroom apartment. The windows are cheaply made and old, so they aren't great for keeping out ...Full review of Park Place Towers

DON"T THINK ABOUT LIVING HERE - I lived here for a year and it was aweful. On numerous occasions, I came home to find someone urinated on my living room and bathroom floor. It was clear that people were accessing my apartment when I was not home. Also, there were bugs everywhere. The halls stank and the carpet was dirty. Also, there were many stews in this building, pilots, etc who were wild and nasty. Some ...Full review of 443-445 W Wrightwood Apt

TERRIBLE PLACE - This place is soo bad its not even funny. The management was so rude and inept. They gym is three machines that one is broken. The place is so unsafe, the front glass door never locks, and the so called garden in the center of the building doors are always open. The place is full of roaches and mice. You cant control the heat so you have windows open all winter. The area is not safe ...Full review of 901 Argyle Apartments Manor

happy camper - just upgraded from a spacios studio w great view to a one bedroom w even better view! management and staff made it so easy to transition. they came through immediatly with the few alterations we agreed the apartment needed and was able to get on with my move. it cracks me up that people can be so harsh on this building. every building has flaws, its the people in it that make it a community ...Full review of 3130 North Lake Shore Drive Apartments

I COULD LIVE HERE FOR YEARS - I cannot express enough how much I love this building. I've only lived here for just short of a year, and this location is absolutely mind blowing. To start, the staff is remarkable. Other builds should emulate the customer service standards presented here. The door staff (both men and women) are personable, friendly, accommodating, and above all professional in every ...Full review of Hawthorne House Apartments

not too bad. - I am a renter, so I have not seen the association fees and assessments, but I do have experience living here. The neighbors are mostly nice, the management, staff, doormen, parking staff are all respectful, decent, and nice. The walls are a bit thin. Depending who your neighbors are, some are a bit quick to report you for noise, even if it's not you. ...Full review of Lake Park Plaza

Can't beat the location and the staff here is VERY nice - I've lived here a year and I have loved the building. You can't get a better view for the price. I live in one of the "vintage" units that hasn't been rehabbed but it has worked perfect for me. The building staff is always helpful and nice. There was one rude lady when I first moved in but they got rid of her very quickly. The little market downstairs is great and they just ...Full review of 1400 North Lake Shore Drive

For the price, this is an absolute steal! - I have to admit that I was hesitant a couple months ago when I saw a few negative reviews - however, I am very happy to say that I love living at 14 W Elm! If you are coming here looking for ultra-luxurious living in the Gold Coast, go elsewhere. If you are a reasonable person looking for an actual fair price in this amazing neighborhood, your search should end here! 14 Elm might ...Full review of 14 W Elm Apartments

Biggest One Bedroom for the Price - I've lived at 425 for 18 months now and I would agree with most negative points made by previous posters; this building is old and thus plaster walls vs. drywall, the staff in the front office can be rude, and they expect you to pay your rent on time. That last point is a "duh," I can't imagine what type of person finds that to be an issue. In addition, the rent ...Full review of 425 West Surf Street

Best location in Chicago - This is a old building- most are in chicago. If you don't care about a view- somewhere away from the lake might suit you better. If you do want a great view of the lake, gardens and the zoo- this is your place. It is very safe---- It has great transportation always. Dry cleaners, bank, starbucks, and a resturant in building. The roof top deck is the best I have seen. Go up ...Full review of Lincoln Park West
