Resident ā€¢ 2015 - 2017

5/17/2017

We have been in our apartment for over 2 years and no intention of leaving any time soon. It has become home...We are in a specious 1 bedroom 1.5 bath facing south with a beautiful view of the river and a little slice of the lake. The location is what really drew us here. It is centrally located to my husband's job (we don't have a car here, so location is important), dining and shopping. The front desk staff are very frinendly and incredibly helpful. The appliances are decent, but it's just the 2 of us so we don't need a lot of extras. The refrigerator is standard but small, the oven works fine and the cooktop is fine as well. The bathroom is spacious, there is amazing closet space and the cabinets in our unit are deep and numerous. There is a very small washer and dryer, but a larger laundry area is available if needed for larger items (like king linens!) We are able to store my husband's bike in the living room, we have 2 foldable chairs and a large cooler for the outdoor theater all in the bedroom closet. The extra 1/2 bath is perfect for when we have guests!! Maintenance is prompt when needed and have had no issues not addressed. Occasionally our very young (comparatively) neighbors may be loud on a weekend, but will respond if requested to quiet down. Otherwise our floor is pretty quiet. We hardly ever hear anyone aside from the occasional celebrations next door. I feel very safe in our building and love that a key fob is necessary to access all floors except 1. Since we are so close to Michigan Ave, there are always people around and I have never felt uncomfortable walking in the area. We started our lease in the early years of the Center for a great price. Of course, when our lease was due for renewal, our rent did go up considerably, but to market value. We will be up to renew again in 3 months and was told we would only be due for a small increase since we are on target with the area. We'll see....
