Been a very pleasant experience living here overall. Amenities are great and the quality of the apartments is also very good. Size of the apartments is lacking as well as cabinet space. Neighborhood has really expanded in the 4 years we've been here. Management has been friendly but very forgetful to requests and inquiries we've made. Maintenance staff is awesome.

Very good experience. Staff knows you and is very helpful. Any issues are dealt with promptly. Guest Suite is a nice extra. Biggest downside is small / sometimes crowded gym.

Never had any problems - love the location. Just re-signed a lease for 15 more months.
What did you like most?
Great area; right next to grocery store, and no more than 5-10 minute walk to some of the best restaurants and clubs in the city.
What did you like least?
A select few staff members can be a bit frustrating, but the number of fantastic bend-over-backwards staff far outweigh the negative.

Location & Neighborhood

Fulton River District

Fulton River District is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Chicago. Close to River North and The Loop, the neighborhood was once home to Chicago’s transportation and warehouse industries. Here, you’ll now find a mix of re-purposed lofts and high-rise apartments just north of West Loop and West Loop Gate. Since this neighborhood was originally used for industrial purposes, residents won’t find much greenery in this area. However, there are extensive restaurant options and easy access to grocery stores.

The Fulton River District neighborhood is home to many Chicago favorites, including Blommer Chocolate Factory (so expect the faint smell of chocolate from time to time). The offices of Fulton Market and The Loop are only a short walk away, and many residents live here for an easy commute.
