Tenant Reviews for 850 S CLARK ST

I have resided at Amli Lofts for over three years and find it a wonderful living experience under the leadership of Heather Schultz. She has taken the time to ensure that the standard of living is enjoyable. The 2020 pandemic was an awful time for everyone. Despite the uncomfortable situation we were all experiencing, she continued posting relevant updates to keep everyone informed. This spring, I'd like to comment on the beautiful landscaping that was just completed on the Clark side. The roses are a sight to see. Thank you.

PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE HERE, YOU WILL REGRET MOVING IN HERE! HIDDEN FEES. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking of renting here think twice before signing a lease. The office staff is unprofessional and upon move out, the company will charge your account for thousands of dollars beyond what you were anticipating. In all honesty, it is the worst management I've seen so far in Chicago. The apartments are ok, there were quite a few issues with the apartment itself along the way as well. Maintenance did end up fixing them; but something else to to think about. In addition, through my entire stay at AMLI there were numerous instances where elevators were shut down (both of them) which was unacceptable. Overall, I'd say my experience was extremely negative at AMLI LOFTS printers row.

Have had a really amazing experience here. People have always been friendly and professional if they ever have a question. They have done an amazing job handling the COVID crisis. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here. The location is spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone.

The apartments are fine. You pay a lot of money, so they better be better than average. MGMT increased rent almost 10% and was like, well sorry but that's the current market. Say its for amenities but when they were closed for Covid-19 that rent doesn't include amenities. They're just a perk. So they contradict each other. Elevators are constantly broken down. I don't mean once a year. We are talking at least 3-4 days every month. Sometimes more. Wanted to move out 1 month early into a 13 month lease. Was told too bad, you have to pay for a month you're not here. Front desk lady Monica on the Polk Side is absolutely horrible. Rude and completely unfriendly. Asked for my package and was told I order too much and refused to get it because she was busy. DONT MOVE HERE. So much better out there for the high rent costs.

I live in the polk building, my toilet has been clogged for month, anytime i ask them to come and fix it they do! However i believe there is a deeper issue.. considering the amount i pay for rent and parking this is very unacceptable! There's also a strong toilet smell time to time.. when ever i complain abou it they come to the apartment and then send me an email saying there was no smell! Very frustrating!!!

We lived here for 2 years, it was okay overall. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit on the Polk side on the 2nd floor. We had a large balcony that we didn't really get to use because it was really dusty with all the construction that is never ending. You can hear noise from your neighbors and above you. We lived above the coffee shop and at times can hear the music. I don't think this building is family friendly. If you are in college, a young working professional, don't mind loud music and parties, then this would be the ideal place. Noise travels. You can't really have a conversation in the kitchen/living room area because there is a huge gap between the bottom of the front door and the floor, about 2 or 3 inches. Walking down the hall, you can hear what your neighbors are talking about. Also living on the Polk side, there isn't really a doorman there all the time. If you are having people coming over or getting food delivery, you'd have to run down and let them in. For the 2 years we lived there, we had some issues. When we first moved in, the time the person living next to us smoked a lot of weed and it would travel into our unit. We had a 2 year old and you can really smell it in the 2nd bedroom, so she ended up sleeping in our room. That tenant eventually got kicked out. The 2nd year we were there, there was a smoker who chained smoked and you can smell it in the hall and in our unit. I was pregnant. The smell was ridiculous. It took a lot of complaining to management from phone calls to emails. Management eventually got us an air purifier to help with the smoke. Really? They couldn't kick the tenant out due to tenants rights. Management kept fining the tenant and giving them notices. Eventually there was a legal battle and the tenant moved out. I spent over half of my pregnancy smelling second hand smoke. Lots of parties go on, which is fine on the weekends, but during the week when people have work, really? Sometimes I felt like the building was more like a fancier college dorm. The pool reminded me of spring break. Couldn't really take the kids there either with all the people drinking and spilling beer into the pool. There was a car that gotten broken into, random people wandering the halls and a robbery that happened the last few months we lived there. We decided it was time to move and not renew our lease. It just simply wasn't the right environment to raise our young children. The amenities are really nice in the building. When we in moved, the building was only a few months old. We were the first to occupy our unit. The appliances are nice. The thing we didn't like was the floors in the kitchen and living room area. The "wood" flooring was pretty cheap. You would spill a little water on it and it would warp. Maintenance was really attentive. I also loved the dry cleaning lady, she was really friendly. Leasing office and door staff, that was like a revolving door. Door staff wasn't really friendly. They were usually always on their phone or away from the desk. There were a few that were nice like Sam, Javier and Alex. The building is starting to show a little age, especially when you see the newer buildings being built around it. For the amount paid, close to $3200 a month for rent and parking, I expected more. If you plan on moving here, maybe look into the Clark side where there is always a doorman present. Oh and if you decide to move out, make sure to say you aren't renewing within 60 days or you will have to pay. We were ONE day late and we got charged rent for an extra day. Never had been late with rent, never caused any issues, but yep, we had to pay for a day. Really? I would give the place 2.5 stars!

I have nothing bad to say about Amli lofts. Other than that it may not be the place for you if you are on a strict budget. It's pricey and depending on what you want out of an apartment may not be worth it. I happen to believe, however, that it is well worth the money as, again, I literally can't think of anything bad to say about the amenities or location.

So far, our experience at AMLI has been excellent. The staff are courteous, responsive, and care about our satisfaction. The amenities at this facility are fantastic, especially for individuals working from home. Very dog-friendly as well.

The quality of the AMLI Lofts building is great. The community amenities and apartments are clearly built with high quality materials and constructed carefully. Furthermore, all areas of very well taken care of.

Amli Lofts is a great brand new community in south loop. I have a one-bedroom unit really nice logical layout. No weird angles or odd shaped rooms or wasted space. Huge bedroom, nicely appointed kitchen. Surprisingly quiet, especially considering the location near a busy intersection. Beautiful hard wood flooring, pet friendly, lots of outdoor greenspace and community amenities. They have social events with free food and wine!! Lots of dogs here. Had a few minor isssues that were fixed promply. Maintenance staff generally very attentive and responsive. I'm very happy here.
