Resident ā€¢ 2015

Note: I live in the 2600 building. I was actually very surprised by some of the 1-star reviews! I've lived at Talisman for 3 months now (9/1/15 move-in date) and find it very nice. I live in a recently renovated apartment which is very very nice. Central a/c, heating, water, trash, sewer are included in the rent, which makes it easier and guilt-free to change the heat/A/C settings and take long, hot showers (which is a blessing for Chicago winters). I do agree with some of the noise complaints. I live next to an elevator, which is (I think) why I can hear noises so clearly in my bedroom (my bedroom wall is right next to the elevator wall). I can hear my neighbor (or someone) coughing at night, and muttering, almost like they're in the room with me! This has made me a little paranoid to play louder music or watch TV late at night, so that's the only thing I'd change about the experience. The staff are wonderful, I have no idea where these reviews are coming from about the staff. Natalie specifically has been consistently patient and nice (I moved in under strange, stressful circumstances). Sometimes one individual in the office has been more aloof, but never outright rude like some people are saying! They're going through the process of renovating, floor by floor, all of their buildings. The 2600 building looks great! The upper floors are modernized and fresh-looking. The ground floor needs work but they can only go so fast. Pros: -laundry on every floor ($1.50 per washer/dryer load) -renovated apartments available (stainless steel, dark cabinets, new marble) -friendly staff and neighbors! -they background check you with your application -they're currently going through a process of background checking current residents and making sure everyone in the complex is safe -big parking lot with lots of space! it's free parking, people!! Cons: -a little more on the expensive side (they're technically luxury apartments!) -the walls are a little thin -you have to pay for storage space -no pets allowed (no cats/dogs... you can have a snail though!) Come be my neighbor!
