Tenant Reviews for 1100 N CLARK ST

I have lived here going on almost five years. The mgmt is amazing!! -------------, I can't say enough about them. Anytime I have needed anything repaired or taken care of they are always on top of it. As for ------------------ they take care of everything I throw their way from hanging my curtains to my shelves. As for the location, you can NOT beat the location *****

Clean, safe building in the Gold Coast

Enthusiastic security/doormen contribute to the comfort and stability of the building. All guests are need to to sign in at the front desk with or without the tenant. (Exceptions are made for the parents and grandparents of students). The building may well be old, but my apartment was clean when I moved in. I had no money for furniture. The manager, Linda, gave me a used bed and TV left by a previous student tenant. Maintenance took care of any little problems over the 2 years that I lived there. For sure, It's a place to live while getting acquainted with Chicago. It's spotless and safe, set back enough from Division St. clubs to get a peaceful night sleep.

When I read the other reviews on here, I was hesitant to give 1100 N LaSalle apartments a chance. I am glad that I did, and moved there! I had a 14 month lease, from April 2011 to May 31, 2012, before I moved from Chicago to California. Let me say that there were NO bed bug issues during my entire time there. The building was spotless and has a sun deck with a great view of the city. I rented a deluxe studio on the 13th floor with a separate kitchen, and a view facing south toward the city. I only had a few repairs needed during this time, one of which was that my refrigerator completely stopped working. I reported this on a Saturday night, I had a brand new fridge installed by Monday morning. The maintenance and front desk staff are extremely helpful. The building has attractive landscaping and is secured by 24 hour front desk staff and controlled access entrance. There's no parking lot (except a temporary loading lot in back for move-ins) but There's street parking on LaSalle or the side streets nearby (Elm also has a parking garage) This is a location's amazing in Gold Coast, two blocks from the Red line, and Walgreens, CVS, Jewel, Chase Bank, etc are within a 5 minute walk. The great shopping on Oak Street/restaurants on Rush and Michigan Ave are within 15 minutes walking distance. There's no excessive noise although since the floors are hardwood, you can sometimes hear things dropped in the unit above you or if furniture is being moved, etc. The kitchen is small, as the fridge sink and stove are side by side without any counter space - I used the kitchen table as a counter. There's a laundry room downstairs with coin-operated machines. You've got two main elevators, so there can be a few minutes wait if you arrive during peak hours (such as 5pm on a weekday afternoon) If you are ok with a small studio space with a great view and a fabulous Gold Coast location, I highly recommend 1100 N. LaSalle Apartments!

Great and bad

Good staff, generally quick in resolving issues, and nice manager. The ownership but is a different story. won't work with you on terms, and rents have jumped considerable in the past year. $100-$150 over the past year for a studio is about right per earlier message. location's Astounding and staff, but be ready for significant jumps in your rent.

Best value in the Gold Coast

I am just now renewing my lease for another 18 months. I took this opportunity to look around and discovered that I already have the best deal. I must say that the managers are the ones that make this feel like home. secure. and ultra responsive to all my requests. I am a high maintenance tenant.

Bedbugs are resilient like the Taliban

Bedbuggers... This building has some of the most difficult insurgents to eradicate. Due to the multiple sprayings.. only the strong have survived... Now the only bedbugs left in the building are the best, of the best, of the best. They won't die until DDT is legal again in the US.

I Lrefer my cozy studio

I don't know what these people are talking about.... I live in a cozy studio that I love so much.this Pite is located convenientlly, and the rent is the best. We have new mgmt, and I can assure you that they are here for any problems. this Pite is spotless and we have a super deck on the roof where we can have bbq. It feels like a real home....:))))))))))))

The Manager Wroved MEAN To My Friends

I have never lived at a place like this. The Manager talks ugly to everyone. She was mean to my friends when they came to visit. She enters my Anit without my permission. Can't wait to get out of here.

Affordable Temporary Housing

I needed to be in downtown Chicago for an internship on a short term lease. The manager was cooperative and helpful. My apartment was small but clean, and bug-free. I never had any maintenance problems. Everything I needed was steps from the building: all the shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. Transportation outside the building door went right to my school.

Great Apartment1

This is a solid building located within walking distance of downtown Chicago and the lively Rush Street. mgmt are always friendly and the view of the city is great.
