There are only 2 elevators in this 20 floor building, and one of two is often broken. Most recently, one was broken for 3 weeks. I've lived here for several years and there has been constant staff turnover. I don't think they screen employees very thoroughly… See More

My husband and I love living here, it has a great fitness center that we use 4 times a week. Our friends love the grilling area and deck. My husband travels a lot, so I love the security doors to our building. The staff is great.… See More

I would not recommend this place at all. Terrible management and way too expensive for what you're getting. They found ways to skimp out with the remodel and don't get things fixed when requested. Owners don't care about it either, they just let the management company… See More

FACTOR IN HEATING ELECTRIC COST INTO LEASING BUDGET! If you're moving here in the summer, be forewarned that the building gets real cold in the winter. It's a renovated old building, they cleaned up the look but the core of the building is still old. You… See More

Current resident. I moved in right when all of the renovations began. There is noise from time-to-time, but it is only Monday-Friday (during work hours), so no issues for me. Gorgeous apartments. Great staff. I can't wait for what is to come. To have a washer/dryer… See More

I have lived here 2 years and like this building a lot. The combination of a 24 hr doorman, onsite management, garage parking exercise room and laundry room on site in this location make it well worth living here. I rent from a great private owner… See More

I've lived in this building for two years and I'm thinking of renewing for a 3rd straight year. Some random feedback. Location is amazing. Cable and internet included with rent- can't beat that deal. The workout room is decent. Party room is awesome. The doormen keep… See More

I moved into this building about 6 months ago from Naperville, and it has been the best move of my life. My living experience has been everything and more than what I hoped for. All work order tickets are addressed promptly. The door staff is very… See More

This building may seem nice at first glance, but since moving in we have had many, many problems from plumbing, to laundry, to parking, etc, etc. Instead of attempting to remedy the issues or in the least listen to our concerns, the "management" at Clark Place… See More

Most of the other reviews are on the mark. I have been here for two years and plan on staying one more year. Almost all the tenants are in their 20s, which I like, and the location is perfect. Parking is very secure and I have… See More

I think that this place is slightly above average. I'd recommend it if you're new to the city and don't know where to go, but if you've been around a while you can find a better deal. Overall, the building itself is clean and safe, the… See More

I am at the end of my lease here and I wouldn't renew it for anything. I highly recommend going somewhere else. The good things are the maintenance, doormen, and the manager. Other than that, NVG personnel are worthless and incompetent. They have a crazy woman… See More

Fun Area!! This building is poorly run not because of staff. Owners are evil. Wayyyy over priced. The owners, NVG are evil like Enron, PG E, and Tyco. Corporate Greed. Rent is 1300/month but you get treated like a place where you pay 875.00.

I agree with most of what others wrote. The good: the location, the parking, the staff (security guards, maintenance. There have been four building managers since NVG bought the building). The exercise room isn't special, but it's decent enough. The bad: This is a very noisy… See More

First the good: this is my favorite neighborhood in Chicago. Ultra-convenient and interesting, safe, near parks and the lake and far enough from downtown that you don't conflate "work" with "home." I'll also plug the current staff -- they're pretty friendly and responsive, though new ownership… See More
