1130 South Michigan Apartments: Horrible management. Definitely not luxury. (Not Recommending)

2009-05-22T10:20:18-06:00

From NO1130smichigan: Once you move in all customer service from the leasing office goes away. You constantly have to battle them for fees and other annoyances. They are basically trying to rip you off whereever they can. No inclination to help you as a tenant and customer. please look somewhere else. South ... [click to read full apartment review]

From ali@myapartmentbrokers.com: I had a few clients that were interested in renting an apartment in 1130 and since I did not have an "Appointment" the skeleton leasing staff acted like they were doing me a favor by walking my clients through.

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Terrible (Not Recommending)

2008-03-04T03:36:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Sure, the views are great. But the management will continually disappoint you with their outrageous and unjustified charges. They raise the rent on you every new term and charge you UNMERCIFULLY when you move out. My apartment was spotless upon moving out and they still charged me at least $900 ...

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Beware - you will pay when you go! (Not Recommending)

2008-01-19T11:48:25-06:00

From runchitown: Read other posts about having to pay outrageous costs when your lease terminates. You will be charged for carpet and all kinds of ridiculous costs!

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Used to be better (Not Recommending)

2007-06-13T20:28:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Its seen better days. The south side views of the lake are gone, construction personnel from the building next-door can stare into your apts. And there is alway construction noise from the buildings right next to 1130 and some buildings a coule of blocks away. Management is also replacing windows ... [click to read full apartment review]

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Great building but pricey (Recommending!)

2007-03-10T00:08:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for about 2 1/2 years and have for the majority of the time enjoyed it here. The biggest drawback is the rental price-I absolutely love my apartment, but hate having to pay so much. But to be fair, the South Loop is expensive everywhere.

I really like the ... [click to read full apartment review]

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Horrible-- Condescending doorpersons (Not Recommending)

2007-03-09T20:42:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Wouldn't recommend living here.

While some of the doorpersons are great, others are simply untrained and condescending. I will rate their evening doorperson staff a big zero. In their bid to cut costs Draper and Kramer's service is getting shoddy. Case in point, one of the doorpersons didnt show even ... [click to read full apartment review]

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Looks Can Be Deceiving (Not Recommending)

2007-02-24T20:26:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In a nutshell the most impressive aspect of this property besides location are likely the views that many of the apartments offer, however the building management is simply sub par, unaccomodating, and disappointing.

I rented one of the costlier top tier apartments and was shocked by how I was treated ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: Beware renting here! Parking is a nightmare!

2006-08-24T01:04:26-06:00

2006-04-25T17:58:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this building for 2 years - we are moving due to job relocation, not because we were unhappy with the building.

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Very Pet Friendly Building (Recommending!)

2005-05-10T15:16:10-06:00

From agostinir@draperandkramer.com: This building is particularly well suited for those who have dogs and those that do not. Dog Owners are supposed to use the Freight elavators at the rear of the building and non-owners use the passenger elevators. Dog Owners use the rear exit, which leads to the loading dock and ...

1130 South Michigan Apartments: not worth the problem with parking (Not Recommending)

2004-11-18T16:21:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As a resident of the building my biggest concern is not with the apartment itself but with the independently owned parking garage where the residents park. Since the garage takes no interest in protecting the rights of the residents in the apartment, it pretty much leaves the resident and the ... [click to read full apartment review]

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Horrible Building Manager - Look Elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2004-09-27T16:01:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building manager there now is worthless. He has not one ounce of professionalism nor does he have the correct communication skills to be a manager.

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for a year and actually have few things to complain about. The apartments were completely silent.

2004-01-28T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The doormen and maintenence staff are excellent. It is a very friendly place to live. Recently a lot of people have been moving out. The main reason seems to be the Manager.

From kazoo92: My wife and I wanted to experience downtown while she was in school. This was the place! It is across the street from Grant Park.

1130 South Michigan Apartments: Nice play to live (Recommending!)

2002-04-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As opposed to the previous review, the doormen are actually quite friendly. The hallways are newly remodelled. Walls are well insulated and cannot hear others above, below or around. Repair staff responds quickly to any needs, even replacing light bulbs. Great location being a block away from the trains and ... [click to read full apartment review]

2002-02-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The lower rents does reflect in the services and amenities provided. The Apts are noisy and staff are not friendly. The doormen are rude and not helpful.

I would not like to recommend this apartment to anyone. Give it pass. Even if you have to pay $100 more, it will give ... [click to read full apartment review]
