800-810 Sherman Avenue: 820 Judson (Not Recommending)

2006-02-06T14:36:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: OK apartment for 1 year right after college, but don't plan on staying very long. Back apartments don't get that much light, and you are almost guaranteed to have some student neighbors. Overall, good deal at the time, but if I had it do to over again, I would've demanded ...

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 860 Hinman Ave (Not Recommending)

2005-05-31T14:20:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 860 Hinman is the old Evanshire Hotel, however, the building is old and not well maintained. The elevator is slow, small, and noisy (particularly annoying if you live adjacent to it) and the freight elevator is not dependable. The corridors have stained carpet and some doors are boarded or patched. ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 1000 Main St-More rodent than human tenants (Not Recommending)

2005-02-12T15:30:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This was my first apartment, and it was a nightmare from the beginning. I was drawn towards B&A Properties because of their low rent prices (for Evanston) and lack of security deposit. I moved into 1000 Main St. APT 3H, an acceptable sized studio apartment for one person on a ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: The worst realty agents I have ever seen (Not Recommending)

2004-08-25T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This company has the advantage of having very good advertising and many of the lower-priced student quality apartments near schools in Evanston. This, I believe, is the only thing that keeps them in business. Not only was I treated poorly by the management there, but I witnessed other people being ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 1406-1408 Elmwood Avenue (Not Recommending)

2004-06-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Barry & Associates (aka Barry Realty, B&A Assoc) is the worst management company I've ever encountered. I've lived in this building since late 1998 (only stayed here that long out of convenience). Since that time, absolutely nothing has been done in this apartment - no routine painting, the windows are ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Would not recommend 1406-1406.5-1408 Elmwood Ave. Evanston Apts. (Not Recommending)

2004-06-02T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Must repeatedly call to have lightbulbs replaced, make necessary repairs.

Not customer friendly staff.

Do not maintain buildings well. ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 1420 Chicago: Blue Whale (Not Recommending)

2004-05-20T00:00:00-06:00

From oyoyoyoy: Although, it has been a few years, I will never forget the HORRIBLE experience I had at the Blue Whale.
1.) Safety: The back door was always unlocked, so homeless people could live in the stairway and laundry room.
2.) The Laundry room had no ventilation, so it was like a rain ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 1004 Main St. (Not Recommending)

2004-04-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: There are good things and bad things about this apartment, but I would say the bad far outweigh the good. I didn´t have time to shop around when I moved here, but if I had I doubt I would have ended up with B&A. To keep this short, I´ll summarize: ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: DANGER!!!! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-03T00:00:00-06:00

From Robert726: These are the people who own 617 Grove Street, a disaster of an apartment building. These people care NOTHING for the tenants. I cannot say this strongly enough: AVOID THEM!! ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: 1420 Chicago Ave. (Not Recommending)

2004-02-09T00:00:00-06:00

From bakerbaker: Aack! My review vanished!

Well, I´m not going to type it again, so here´s my summary: The Blue Whale is a "student ghetto," a little far from campus, but it´s liveable.

If you expect wonderful things of your home and the apartment staff, you will be sorely disappointed. If you´re easy ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Not the best place. (Not Recommending)

2004-01-29T00:00:00-06:00

From MarleeEaster: Your Evanston experience should not start here.

My first lease was for three months for $600/month. I was told I could get a $50 rent reduction if I stayed on for more than six months the next lease. I could have gotten that the first lease, if I wanted to, ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Bad management (Not Recommending)

2003-09-28T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have tried to contact maintenance offices over two and a half months ago to get my couter top fixed. However, after promise over promise, nothing has done, yet. I still tried to call them, and all I get is that I have to wait. The length of time for ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Terrible renting experience. (Not Recommending)

2003-08-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In my year at this residence I dealt with damage to personal property for which I was not reimbursed, disgusting common areas and an apartment that was never maintained to decent standards.

When I moved in (on a Saturday from out of state) the apartment was not cleaned. I was ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: very rude management! (Not Recommending)

2003-07-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I actually live in the building next door but the negative impression the management company has bestowed upon themselves has compelled me to warn others before considering this apartment building.

Phil, the manager, has been known to verbally harrass tenants and neighbors to the point of tears. Take for example, one ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Avoid this management company!!! (Not Recommending)

2003-03-29T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in the Clark Apartments. There were roaches and mice, by bedroom was really small, although I was still paying a high rent. Calling the management was totally useless, because they never fixed anything. I guess they just figured it was a student building and they didn´t need to ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: terrible management (Not Recommending)

2003-01-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Barry Realty, now known as B&A Associates is one you should stay away from. Not only do calls to the maintainance department go unanswered (for example about the heater in the middle of the winter), but the administration is terrible. I regularly get letters threatening to evict me because I ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: I agree. Stay Away!!! (Not Recommending)

2002-11-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I actually never moved into a Barry apartment, but I did look at a couple of models before deciding, NO WAY!!!

First off the rental prices were around $1500 for the two 2-bedroom flats I looked at. A price that could be justifiable if the places were in stellar condition.

Instead I ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Make sure to see your apartment, and don´t expect to have anything fixed (Not Recommending)

2002-07-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in a Barry building at 1420 Chicago Ave. for several years now. While, in general the experience has not been as painful as was documented by the previous author, I must admit that if I had more cash, I would take it elsewhere.

I lived in this building ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: Horrible Experience (Not Recommending)

2002-07-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My experience renting from Barry Realty, also known as B&A Associates, was the worst renting experience in my 10 years as a tenant in Evanston. I lived at 1420 Central St.

My lease ran from April 2000 to March 2001. Approximately mid-way through my rental term, my bathroom ceiling began leaking, ... [click to read full apartment review]

800-810 Sherman Avenue: vintage, hard-wood floors, large 2 1/2 room studios (Not Recommending)
