I lived in a corner studio (the largest unit in the building) for a year. On the higher floors these units get outstanding views of Lake Michigan. After living here, you will laugh at almost any other "lake view" that an apartment may claim to have.
The building is large, 30 units x 15 floors (450 units!), but there is a large laundry room on the top floor and the wait for the passenger elevators is never long. The freight elevator usually has a pretty decent wait for it - and it is the only elevator that goes to the laundry floor.
The units are small (though not small for the neighborhood) and old, though well-kept and clean. The bathroom and kitchen are very small to maximize space usage. The walk-in closets are unusually large.
There is NO parking here. If you have a car, you must rent a spot in one of the garages in the area. Expect a 3-block walk and $200 a month. If you don't have a car, even better - public transportation is excellent right here. Busses and trains, and lots of taxis.
The maintenence staff is very nice and friendly. They also are quick to fix things that go wrong. This is an 80 year-old building (1925), so don't expect to go a year without something breaking. Don't worry, it gets fixed immediately.
The corner unit I had was very, very bright. Across the street to the east there are single story row houses. To the south is a lot that this same company owns. It is nicely landscaped and shows no sign of any impending development to block light.
