        DO NOT LIVE HERE!

        Management at this complex is HORRIBLE! Golub fails to care about residents or concerns. They do not respond to calls or emails regarding issues. Rent prices are already too high for the element, noise, loitering, theft, crime, and violence occurring on the premises. Cars have… See More >

          It makes no sense that they send you through this process and keep your four hundred dollars, there's no way you're going to tell me that a processing fee costs that much (what fee) I didn't even get the place. How can anyone in their… See More >

                                  Close to Michigan Lake & Near to Downtown makes it home for most of the professional and young people , Good experience with maintenance work, management. Security is something which can be improved but is same across Chicago. Over all good place to stay
