If you're looking to live in the Loop, Lakeshore East is a great neighborhood. This is one of the better Magellan properties in terms of value for the amenities you get. Great doormen, fantastic gym/sauna/spa. I would live here longer if I wanted to stay in the loop.

What did you like most?

Gym and spa. W hat did you like less: The Loop is a quieter more touristy neighborhood.

Great. New building that opened in March 2013, and my unit was never occupied before me. Good amenities and within walking distance to many attractions. Also connected to the pedway.

Great building in a somewhat boring part of town. Physically beautiful but lacking close, affordable restaurants and night life. Finishings are good enough, though not outstanding. Gym and other amenities are excellent and well maintained. What do you like most: Modern design and finishings. What do you like least: Rent is expensive on a per sqft basis.

Located 5 minutes away from Michigan Avenue, Coast offers luxury apartments with breathtaking views of the city center in a community-like environment. Modern apartments, fully equipped kitchens, a generous gym and nice community areas. What do you like most: Location, location, location. Five minutes away from Michigan Avenue (and all it entails: restaurants, shopping, nightlife), Marianos grocery shop 5 minutes away and, most importantly, connected to the METRA through an underground pedway. What do you like least: Unfortunately there is no indoor pool and outdoor pools are closed more than half a year in a city like Chicago.

Satisfactory. The building could use more elevators and thicker doors.

Generally positive; the building is new and the staff is great but they skimped on everything in the actual units. Floors are fake hardwood, glass is thin, cabinets are particleboard, there is no sink disposal, doors and finishes feel very cheap, etc. For my purpose, the location is incredibly difficult to beat but once I no longer need to access the Metra each day (at the end of my current lease), I will absolutely move into an actual neighborhood.

What did you like most?

Amenities, in-unit laundry, good temperature control, location (for transportation and grocery shopping purposes, not restaurants, neighborhood vibe, etc.), views.

What did you like least?

Apartment finishes (super cheap), lack of charm/personality in neighborhood, tough location to get Ubers/cabs (the three layers of Wacker drive are killer for them), noise through the windows.

Location & Neighborhood

New East Side

New East Side Chicago is a residential community just east of the heart of the city. This neighborhood is made up of luxury condos and high-rise rentals that surround Lakeshore East Park. New East Side is situated downtown but remains secluded and is tucked away from tourists.

It’s rare to find dining, shopping, and other entertainment options in the neighborhood, but they are only a quick walk away. Residents love that this area is a pedestrian’s paradise, as well as its proximity to Streeterville and River North.

New East Side housing is mostly new, full-amenity high rises with incredible views of Lake Michigan. Due to the neighborhood's location and the prevalence of luxury amenities, residents pay a significant premium.

Locals can be found hanging out at the local park, stopping by their favorite coffee shop, and walking their furry friends by the lake.
