Tenant Reviews for 1350 N LAKE SHORE DR

The value you get for this building in this location is great. It is an older building which comes with it's drawbacks (e.g., HVAC), but overall this is a great building and I would recommend it to others.

Totally Agree with Freaks and Frat Boys.

Neighborhood: Great. Some of the staff: Great. Value for the money: No. Way, way, WAAAAAAAY overpriced for what you get. I totally agree with the Frat Boys and Freaks review. I am extremely glad I couldn't afford the 11% rent increase and had to move. It forced me to look at what else is available for lower rent and I found some incredible apartments (larger, newer) for the same or lower rent. I feel stupid for enduring the ridiculous attitude and rudeness of many of the tenants (mainly the young ones whose parents pay their rent) and the indifference and bad mgmt when I could have been spending less money on a much nicer Anit where tenants are thoroughly screened. The few times I called for repair (there was no heat in December) I was told it was "only a draft from the window." Which wasn't the case at all - the heat was not working in several apartments. The rude maintenance guy told me there was nothing wrong and left. The next day I returned from work to find the shoddiest job of insulating the windows I've ever seen in my life - had I known they were going to put temporary caulk in the windows I would have done it myself and done a much better job. The point is, though, that the windows weren't at fault. There was no heat. After a week of freezing temps in the Anit the heat suddenly came on, the problem apparently fixed, but a huge mess in the windows left by the maintenance guy remained. A seemingly little thing that got to a be a real pain and a safety hazard: Animals and children frolicking in the lobby while their owners/parents gossip and pay no attention to what their pets/children are doing. Tripping over toddlers, crawling babies and unleashed dogs just to get to the elevator is normal, especially during the evening hours. Careless, rude parents/pet owners rule this building in the evenings, Division Street 20something drunks rule it later in the night/early morning. Barking dogs. Barking dogs. Barking dogs. Barking dogs. I repeatedly complained to mgmt about a non-stop barking dog and was told the situation was "under control." Yet the dog continued to bark, bark, bark, bark all night long. The "no dog floors" system doesn't work because the noise from barking dogs above and below is as if they're in the room with you. They really need to make one tower a dog tower and the other tower a no dog tower. If you're thinking of moving in because of unbelievable rent, guess again and be warned: That rent will increase drastically when you get your next lease. If you're only planning on living here a year it's not a bad choice, but you'll have to endure a lot of noise and nuisance from your neighbors.

I've already submitted my comments about the way I feel about the community and as I said before it a unique and unusual neighborhood experience for me but over all it's a Bovely neighborhood?

easy. Wonderful staff. When I moved into 1350, this building was the "cat" building & 1360 was the "dog" building. I think You've got too many dogs & too many large dogs in 1350 right now. I also wish my neighbors would close their doors more quietly. Our doors are great & sturdy, but they do slam way too loudly.

Completely satisfied.. The view on the lake Michigan is fantastic ?? Bus stop is 2 mins away on foot, metro station - 12 mins walking. Jewel Osco, Aldi, CVS and Walgreens are within 15 mins walk. Actually you don't need a car with this location

Best maintenance department of anywhere I have lived. They are quick to respond and do the job right the first time. For an older building it is in relatively great shape but showing signs of wear and tear in some of the access doors.

Great and attentive doorstaff, cool resident events and food trucks that come a couple times per month. Walkable neighborhood with easy access to public transportation. Easy access to everything around the neighborhood.

Renuinely love the space here. I would benefit from a slightly lower rent, given I don't have a dishwasher and less space than other units. It would be great to get a discount for renewing the lease. Overall great community and great door/overall staff
