The key to understanding the Park Millennium is who runs it - Draper and Kramer - the infamous Chicago slumlords.
For a new building, it is falling apart with constant problems with the elevators, balconies, wiring, no air conditioning - and worst of all - plumbing. In one year I was deluged TWICE as their water pipes are bursting as the building settles - they used cheap welds instead of fittings! The architect ---------- that designed this building can't be human. There is nothing that fits right and next to nothing in the way of closets and storage space. The noise from the fire station and street is unbearable, so poor is the insulation. They also allow dogs - big dogs. The howling at night at times was like being in a kennel. OH, and don't even expect their door people to lend a helping hand. They will sit there like bumps on a log and yell at you if you tie the drive way up for a few minutes. They have no sensitivity to senior citizens WHATSOEVER!
The management style of Draper and Kramer can only be described as "Gestapo". Again because they "manage" so many public housing projects where they can get away by being rude, mean, dictorial, etc. to the poor mopes that live there - this carries over to this so-called luxury condominium. And they bleed the owners and renters there mercilessly with hundreds of dollars charged to use the party room, moving elevators, "special assessments", constant repairs, garage fees, etc. There are literally dozens of owners trying desperately to get out of this zoo. This leads them to rent to just about any body and in the last year the place has been full of all sorts of whackos including crazy people running through the hallways late at night screaming. Also, there are constant break-ins and thefts.
When I got out of there I felt like I was released from prison and thanked God - that is how grateful I was!

I own a unit in this building for investment purposes for past 3 years. I have never heard any complaint from my tenants so I am shocked to see this bad review. Considering the rents in this building (1500 for 1BR), I doubt if any 'poor mope' can afford this place. Before you even think seriously about this review, just check out the Park Millenium website at: http://www.parkmillenniumchicago.com/PhotoAlbums.aspx and see for yourself. BTW, the building looks even better in reality than what you see in the photos.
