Resident 2015 - 2016

The absolute worst place ever to live. My spouse and I moved to Chicago from Portland Oregon a little over a year ago, and were to excited about being in a new city full of new adventure! We chose to like at Lake Park Plaza because of the amenities it offered, swimming pool with a huge deck full of cabanas and bbq's, basketball court, tennis court, bike storage and a fitness center. For the ENTIRE year we have been here, the building has been renovating all the amenities except for the bike storage, which we also didn't get to utilize because we were the 12th people on a waiting list!? Wouldn't you have one bike storage PER unit...oh no, that's if you ran your building in a smart way. We were told when we moved in that there would be slight reno to the amenities and that this would be completely finished in MAY... it is now nearing the middle of SEPTEMBER and these are not even close to being finished. We've had to live with construction noise, water shut offs, and NO amenities for an entire year now. Along with the building not providing and amenities they had promised, they Upped their Move-Out fee by $250 dollars, ONE month before we moved out, yet one month. Now, you'd think since we never got anything that we are paying for, that they would allow us to pay the amount we signed for on the day of our lease, especially since it's one month until out move out day, but no, they don't care at all. The Management is full of some of the most unprofessional, arrogant, small minded, idiot people I have ever dealt with. I've emailed, called and left letters with them on multiple occasions, never getting responses, UNTIL I emailed from my work email (I work in the HR department of a commercial real estate firm) then they treated me like a princess..!!! The washer and dryers constantly smell like crap and are always leaking and or not drying properly, there is usually without fail always one elevator out of order, or and the doormen, there is ONE gentlemen who is kind and does an amazing job, the rest refuse to let you in (we obviously open the front door for ourselves, but we have a secondary door to our elevator bay) even when you have mounds of groceries in your hands AND they definitely know I live in the building. I would never ever recommend anyone to live here as they will be miserable the entire time. We cannot wait to move out of here...it's given us a complete and utter wrong impression of Chicago, and made the first year living here a nightmare. Thanks for NOTHING Lake Park Plaza.
