Yo!

one of hyde park's worst buildings to live

Years at this apartment: 1995 - 2001

 
When i first lived here the building was named Chicago Beach Apts and i hated the building from day one for a few reasons. No 1. The building had a lot of malfunctions like the non functioning laundry machines which never dried my clothes. 2. The building had a lot of noisy neighbors where you can hear everything. 3. There was a break in at Christmas of 1996 and someone was trying to break into apartments because i heard someone spray mace in their face driving them away. 4. In 1999 and 2000 there were a lot of unwanted characters coming into the building and hanging out inside the stairwells. One of them had the nerve to threaten me. 5. Out of the two elevators one of them was always broken 6. What drove me to move out was in 2001 when the pipes burst and the water had to be shut off for 6 days. Since then the building renamed itself and claims to have did some major improvement so i took a tour of the "remodeled" building last year. All the building did was put a bike room and a sad excuse for a fitness room in the basement which all it did was make the whole basement look like something off the Addams Family and the building has the nerve to raise the rent because of this and plus there are a lot of teenagers hanging in front of the building. So do yourself a favor and move into Twin Towers, or Regents Park which are better buildings to live in, not this sorry insult to Hyde Park.
