I love my apartment! The floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pool and garden area are one of my favorite things. The renovations they made to both the grounds and the individual apartments are great!

                  Elm Street Plaza is a fantastic place to live. Clean, recently renovated apartments. Front entryway and lobby area have been completely remodeled as well. Pool with grills in the courtyard are awesome during the summertime! Awesome staff and amenities!

                      Very bad rent and living experience throughout and I'm so glad that I made up my mind to move out after 13-month stay. The rent price is just about the market price but should be lower given the out-dated amenities. The first thing to complain… See More >

                          Living conditions are below average. I had missing packages. The fitness rooms sometimes gets up to the 90's with no way to make it colder. Same thing with the apartments. Sometimes it will be 80 outside but they haven't turned on the AC so I… See More >

                              This was my first apartment building chosen online before I moved to Chicago nine years ago. I was stunned to find out after I moved in that it is Section 8 CHA low-income housing on the lower floors. I had a one-bedroom on a higher… See More >

                                Beware of this building. Old and weary, paper thin walls, and what they won't tell you is that it is low-income housing. So you pay full market rates to live next to Section 8 residents. Known for drug dealing as well. There are many other… See More >

                                      There are advantages and disadvantages to living in this building, which I am renting in since 2008.
