The apartments, building, and neighborhood are excellent. The issue is noise: almost every unit gets very loud noise from the traffic on Lake Shore Drive, far more than you expect in a city. It doesn't matter what floor...even the highest floor (19) has loud traffic noise day and night. It is too bad because this is generally a wonderful building, but don't expect any peace or quiet in your apartment. It is as if you love next to a speedway track. The management won't tell you this, and is not making efforts to install windows with sound proofing. Too bad.
