I have lived in the Atrium Village Midrise for a couple of years. My overall experience has been positive, but little things have been getting to me lately. As others have posted, the rent is less than other apartments in the area. Free parking is a HUGE perk that cannot be underrated. Noise between units is almost nonexistent due to concrete construction separating all units. Noise from the street is another story. This is the heart of the city and noise off of the Division Street side can get on your nerves, mainly in the Summer. Police and fire sirens/horns blare regularly. Brown Line trains border another side of the building which also create noise, but the city views are nicer. A courtyard side apartment would seem to be the best bet.

Preventative maintenance is performed regularly in the apartment units. There have been some major problems with the air conditioning, pool, hot water, laundry room and elevators since I have lived here. Informative memos are usually sent out right away and the work is done quickly, but residents are still left with inconveniences. The midrise has two passenger elevators and one freight. One elevator seems to break on a regular basis. On a positive note, the laundry room washers and dryers were totally replaced this past year. It would have been nice to upgrade the equipment to more full-featured models, but I guess that would be asking for too much. The air conditioning can only be turned on after the maintenance staff switches the system over each season. It would be nice to dictate when I could turn on my own A/C and heat. Beginning last year, repair work began being performed on many of the apartment balconies. The noise created from the work sounds like a jackhammer and is extremely loud. It is very disturbing, and I am told that it will continue throughout the year. Depending on where the work is being performed that day, you can barely hear yourself think.

The pool area is nice, but hours are restricted to the afternoon. A daycare facility has access to the pool in the morning. Residents cannot even use their own pool in the morning hours if desired!

The rent has been raised twice in the time I have lived here. 6TrHFn6pn7poyqNlKEgn
