Great Management, small apartments, older building, no extras

I have lived here for almost a year. The management is really responsive and very helpful. The parking situation is terrible- street parking that is not always available outside the building. Plus, the village of Oak Park must make all their money through parking tickets. No matter how hard you try to follow all the rules posted on the street signs, it will take you quite a lot of money before you learn things the hard way. The building is also on a snow route, which means finding alternate parking when it snows. The building itself it older. Most of the units are studios, very small, but livable. There are also one bedrooms on the ends that are very nice. There are no extras in this building- the appliances are old and the units have obviously been repaired several times. However, ultiliies are included in the rent. You can hear the people above and below very clearly. Because the apartment rents studios cheaply there is a very mixed rental demographic- young professionals to some pretty stetchy characters. The building does have charm, and is located in a great part of Oak Park. The green line is only a few blocks north and the blue line is a 15 minute walk south. The downtown area is a 10 minute walk. Overall, it has been a good experience, but the place has its drawbacks.
