Resident 2009 - 2010

It's much better than much of a lot of other places!

A lot of people have a lot of negative things to say about the building and the management, but I will definitely say that it is one of the better places I have lived,especially in Chicago. The building staff is, in general, extremely friendly and kind (there are a few exceptions, but with a large staff, there is always one dud), and the building itself is really not bad for the price. You're paying for location (you're in the Loop for crying out loud!). After deciding to move out because the Loop rent seemed like a lot and we got sold that living in another neighborhood would be more "fun," I saw how much better 200 N Dearborn is than many other places in the city. It is much better maintained and comfortable than the place I recently moved into in Lakeview (and this was better than everything else we looked at). Our unit was quiet (that is something I cannot stress the importance of!), clean, well-maintained, and it had an incredible view. When it said it had a modern kitchen, that meant appliances that worked WELL, and that included a dishwasher. Yes, there are problems. The biggest one was that they will not turn the air conditioning on until June 1st, but they have a city ordinance to follow and there is at least one resident that WILL complain if they turn it on before then. So, their hands are rather tied in the situation. Blame the busybody residents more than management.. or the city of Chicago. Also, they have been in the process of renovations, and it is taking a really long time. Some floors are half finished. They are trying, though. Even when they were working on our hallway, I was never disturbed in my unit, and I give them great credit for it. I never had a problem that they didn't resolve quickly and accurately. I would not have left if not for the cost of rent. Now that I am somewhere else in the city, listening to my neighbor's TV through my wall, I miss living at 200 N. Dearborn a lot. They were excellent about notifying residents about issues and if they needed to enter the apartment. You'd never come home and find a random staff member in your apartment. They were professional to the maximum. And, if all of that still isn't worthwhile (and you don't want a great view in a clean, modern, comfortable apartment), Danny the doorman will make your day brighter with his great attitude and genuine kindness!
