Agreeing with previous reviewers: noise is a severe problem in the building; management, leasing agents and most of the front desk staff treat you as if you are a fool for not knowing the answer to the question youve asked (but they?ve recently hired some really nice front desk staff for the evenings); doormen arent really big on opening the doors for you, even when you?re weighed down with groceries; and monthly phone service is included in the rent, but you pay heavily for every single call, local and long distance.





Other negatives: despite several written and verbal promises over two years, screens have never been installed on my windows. Further, several rooms in the building are hotel rooms, with the accompanying high turnover and lack of respect for the long-term residents (late-night yelling in the hallways, etc.).





I have appreciated the security provided in the building, as well as the small market/restaurant in the basement and the dry cleaner. Repairs to the apartment were fixed quickly (doorhandles falling off, broken bathtub drain, faucet handle coming off in my hand). The location is good--near to four bus routes, as well as having a public parking lot only a block away. But don?t fall for the sales pitch playing up the bulding?s proximity to Lincoln Park Zoo, the nature museum, Lincoln Park Conservatory, etc.; to afford to live here, youll be working full time and most likely wont have time to enjoy them.
