I’ve lived here for 6 months so it’s time for my review. This is all you need to know:
**update 2/14 - is said one below con was that my shower doesn’t always get hot. I didn’t realize it was a simple maintenance request to fix - and now it’s perfect.
PROS
-Staff. I can’t say enough how awesome these people are. Truly. They are the customer facing folks and dam are they great at what they do. I am always happy when I see and chat with them. Kudos. This is my first point for a reason.
-Gym is perfect. It’s everything you need. Toss that gym membership baby.
-Grills and pool are cool. 2nd floor amenities are great!
-Location. Almost perfect. Seriously, it’s hard to beat it. Feels like an oasis within the city. Close to so so much. Grocery store - like a 7 min walk. Same to get to the lake and Michigan ave, ever faster to the river.
-Shout out Sara in the management office. She’s a strong communicator, professional, patient, and super helpful. I’m grateful for her and she’s made a positive impact on my experience and has put up with my dumb questions and complaints like a champ. She rocks! If you move here, just be respectful to her time and try to resolve issues using the right channels - resident portal for maintenance requests, etc.
-I have never had a poor interaction with another resident. Some are more friendly than others, and no one has been rude so far. Made some new friends here too.
-Airflow is strong with great ventilation. Das guuci.
-Pricilla is a good sales rep, informative, detailed, affable, and she inspired me to sign.
-Great sound proofing compared to what's out there.
-Living space is great - I have a studio and honestly it's fine. This was my biggest concern, only lived in one bedrooms or bigger. For one person, it's everything I need and not too small.
--There's more, but you get the gist - it's pretty great.
CONS
-I dislike that I can’t turn on the AC after summer or whenever they switch it to heat. I am south facing and WFH. The sun can blasts in. Good for Zoom lighting. But it can get hot esp. in the fall during daytime when it’s that transition period but they’ve already turned off the AC. I think I saw it get to like 78 one time. To be fair, this complaint is common across high rise apartments in Chicago.
-Occasionally Lyft and Uber and DoorDash drivers get lost in lower Wacker lol.
Overall, this is a fantastic place to live and I feel lucky I choose this spot. I looked at many many places before committing and glad it's worked out so well.
