Overall it is a very nice building, walking distance to the lake and museum campus and building was constructed in 2004. Most of the facilities are new.
What did you like most?
Actually I never had a lost package since I moved in here. Not sure if this is the thing I like most but as long as it is not bothering me I think building management is doing a good job.
What did you like least?
Overall expenses live in this building is higher than the rented one. Monthly HOA is quite expensive, but on the other side we are getting service for what we paid for like 4 times window wash and garage wash a year. On site engineer will fix anything that is broken inside apt.

Location & Neighborhood

South Loop

The South Loop has been the center of new residential construction in Chicago for the last decade as people have realized just how convenient it is. South Loop boasts a large amount of green space, Soldier Field, and an easy commute to The Loop. While many South Loop buildings are brand new high rises, the rent is comparably more affordable than other neighborhoods.

Taking a lakeshore stroll or running along the lake is easy for South Loopers, with its convenient location. Residents of South Loop can be found dining outside at a cafe or taking advantage of their building’s ample amenities on weeknights. The weekends in South Loop are spent walking to Shedd Aquarium or Adler planetarium for whimsical exploration. Or, using the money saved on rent to attend Lollapalooza or go shopping downtown.

Because South Loop is mostly residential, the nightlife options here are slim to none. Most people head downtown for their entertainment, which makes this neighborhood a quiet place to settle down.
