This is an amazing first apartment in Chicago. I'm currently taking classes at Kellogg and I can walk to school every day. It's a few streets west of Michigan Ave. so you avoid most of the tourists but its also close to Michigan Ave. so there's a noticeable police presence, and it feels safe. Super close to lots of cute places to eat and the Northwestern Law/Business/Medical school campus.
What did you like most?
The interior just got redone before we moved it so it's really nice and very clean. I love the security people--I feel very safe.
What did you like least?
The lobby--but they're in the process of redoing it right now!

I have lived in this buidling for three years -- started in a one bedroom and recently moved to a two bedroom. The location is convenient, but I likely will not renew my lease after this year because of bad experiences with the new landlord. The building was sold several months ago and since then, charges have increased exponentially. The cost of parking has increased, and the building now charges for water, gas, and trash. Plus, the building is constantly under construction which can get very annoying. The freight elevator is constantly in use by workers, leaving just two other elevators to service a 30 floor building. Waits are crazy!
