I am renewing my lease after having lived here for a year. I am moving from a studio to a one bedroom and am so glad to be able to stay in the same building. It is rare to find a landlord that is so attentive to residents needs. There has rarely been a need for me to call on the repair man, but the times that I did, the problem was fixed within a matter of hours.
The location to the green line is unbeatable, and if you dont mind a 15 minute walk to the nearest Jewel or Trader Joe's, you will not need to worry about transportation.
The walls are pretty thick, I can hear the person above me walking around on occasion, but nothing too disruptive. Also, for security sake, the landlord recently installed video surveillance for multiple areas of the building, which you can view online.
There is continual improvements made on the building and it's nice to live in a place where you feel like the management actually cares for your well-being.

There are surely much better places in Oak Park!!!I think you could expect better in Oak Park. That would not come close to being acceptable for most of what you find. The apts at the harlem green light stop by circle are way better!!!

Have you lived here with Joe as the landlord? Have you even seen the place in the last 2 years? Yes, the building is old, no, it isn't the cheapest place in the area(in Oak Park, yes, in Forest Park, if you want to live by the drug-infested Harlem stop line, no) to live. However, when I say repairs, I mean, my battery in my smoke detector is low and they bring me a new battery or my bathroom light is out. Just because you had bad experience with this building a number of years ago does not mean that it hasn't changed and hasn't been repaired properly.
