          Reside on Surf is a beautifully renovated 100 year old building with friendly staff. It is in a great location with an easy short walk to Lincoln Park. There are several major CTA bus lines nearby as well. Pet friendly building.

                                        The building appears to be nice- however many inconveniences may apply when living here- inability to control heat (gets un bearably hot even in the winter), AC units cost an additional $50 to install, paint starts to crack/chip on the walls after a few months,… See More >

                                          Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.  We want to apologize for the experience you have had with pest control. We take pride in providing great experience for our residents and we didn't do that.  We would like the opportunity to discuss this with you further.  Can you give us a call at 773-248-6644 when you have a moment? Thanks, Jen Harman Regional Manager

                                          Nice staff, wonderful location, and easy move. They had everything ready for me when I got there. The movers had an easy time accessing the service elevator. Overall an easy move which made everything less stressful.

                                            The maintenance staff is hard-working and kind. The office staff is professional and helpful. The building is in a great location close to the lakefront and park, along with good restaurants. The space is sufficient.
