Asbury Plaza

Building is very well kept up and the remodel of fitness center and common areas are great. Management is great to work with and very responsive. The building is old, has bugs and terrible HVAC. More details below.

What did you like most?

East view from my unit is amazing. Management great to work with and polite/responsive. Location is ideal. Unit was very nice upon move-in, remodeled/upgraded and very clean. Daytime doorman is very nice and friendly.

What did you like least?

There are roaches (they call them waterbugs) everywhere. One was in my unit once but I see them in the common areas constantly. They are huge and terrifying. I see them by the pool, in the laundry and fitness center and in common areas. HVAC is not ideal. They keep the building so hot that my unit was too warm and sliding doors had to remain open all winter just to maintain 70 degrees, otherwise it crept up to 75 degrees. Also the AC broke twice at the beginning of summer for days during a heat wave. Water pressure for hot water is not great and they couldn't fix it.

Love the layout of my apartment. The view is great. Just made a lot of upgrades to the building and community areas which were needed to stay modern. Can walk almost everywhere.

Great value for the price.

The building has been under construction for months, and we have had more than 5 days where the water was off for maintenance from 9 - 5PM. It's a great value for the location, but is lacking a few of the nicer touches of the surrounding buildings. For example - it's a heat OR cool air system, so come mid-September you can't cool the unit down if it gets hot out. If you must live in River North and you're relatively budget constrained, it's basically the only option!
