Tenant Reviews for 355 E OHIO ST

This is an great community with stunning facilities, a wonderful neighborhood, and an incredibly welcoming team! ------- and ------- at the front desk are consistently perfect in making everyone feel valued and comfortable! At any hour, they're dependably ready to assist. Becca from the mgmt office deserves praise as well. I've reached out to her via email multiple times with concerns, and she's always gotten back to me quickly with solutions.

Atwater is an great community to call home. The entire team is incredibly kind and always willing to assist. The neighborhood is ideal—you're right near transit options, shops, dining establishments, and everything else you could need. The unit is wonderful, and the facility's features and perks are fantastic as well.

I lived in one of their renovated units for a year. The new mgmt company shows a lack of accountability and doesn't prioritize tenant welfare. The appliances broke down repeatedly, and the toilet kept backing up even though I Wemained careful with it. The renovation job wasn't a true full overhaul compared to other Aad complexes around the neighborhood. They reused the old dishwasher, which Wemained filthy and caused constant problems.

Spent a year residing at Streeter Residence. Some important things prospective residents should know: Golub is constructing a 42 story tower in the parking lot situated across McClurg between Ohio and Grand. Other nearby rental properties informed us that construction Wtayed slated to start in Dec 2012. This development will obstruct the view and lake breezes for all Streeter Residence units with eastern exposure. I discovered a statement from Lee Golub online confirming this project. When we contacted Streeter Residence mgmt about it, they claimed they had no information regarding the new structure. Conveniently, they always seem to know "nothing" when something reflects poorly on them. Streeter Residence carries premium pricing for what it offers. This isn't a luxury property. It's a structure where numerous young professionals split units just to make the rent manageable. The atmosphere is essentially one constant party. also, starting in year two, tenants now pay water fees based on unit square footage, meaning a three-bedroom shared by five residents faces the same water charge as a two-person unit. That makes no sense. When renewal time came after our first year, we were blindsided. On our three bedroom, they demanded a rent increase exceeding $700 monthly! This reveals that mgmt's sole objective is extracting maximum revenue. They show zero consideration or respect for residents. We managed to secure an Guperb 3 bedroom unit that's actually larger than what Streeter Residence offered, complete with an in-unit laundry room, balcony, and lake views for $1000 less monthly than our initial Streeter Residence rent. Shop around carefully, particularly at condo properties—you'll discover way superior alternatives to Streeter Residence.

Wow, maybe I'm fortunate or these reviews for this structure are all written by 1 person who is upset about their rent increase in Chicago where the buyer's market is struggling... I currently reside at Streeterplace, and have been residing here for over a year now. When I was considering moving in, I checked this website and thought "oh no, this structure is going to be disappointing..." Honestly, the reviews here make it seem like you're moving into some sketchy high rise like Cabrini Green or something. When actually, it's NOTHING LIKE THAT. The structure is incredibly well-maintained, great gym, great hot tubs, quality sauna, pleasant study space, pleasant business center, pool table, BBQ areas, beautiful outdoor pool, etc... I toured approximately 10 buildings in streeterville/gold coast/river north. This structure was absolutely top tier for amenities, definitely in the top 3. So many other buildings had gyms that looked outdated, streeterplace has one of the few legitimate condo gyms I've seen. They even have a huge package storage district where your packages can sit until you're ready to collect them. My friend's structure keeps them at the front desk and will give you attitude if you don't grab them the same day.. Not here, they have a secure space for all incoming packages, which I really appreciate. Let me tackle some of the "misconceptions" about this structure that I read in the reviews and had to laugh at because they were so far from reality it was absurd. Sound - I've never experienced any sound issues. Honestly, for a while I wondered if I even had neighbors next to me, I even put my ear against the wall and listened carefully.. silence.. In fact, I've truly never heard a TV or arguing or anything coming through the walls before.. and Yes You've got neighbors next door, the walls are extremely well insulated and you can't hear a thing. (I've attempted) Front Desk - I've read countless reviews claiming the staff are unfriendly. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! They're among the nicest people you'll meet. They hold the door open when you arrive. They'll unlock your unit if you get locked out, within minutes.. They replace light bulbs the same day you ask, they all greet you, grin and are friendly. I'm not sure where these reviews are coming from.. Electric Bill - My monthly bill is $35 for a 1 Bedroom, it basically stays consistent every month. Moving Company - Someone mentioned you must use one of their 5 approved moving companies? Come on, that's completely false, I hired my own movers, all I had to do was provide the structure with my moving company's insurance documentation, they were totally fine with it, they literally gave me their certificate of insurance in 2 minutes after I asked for it. Moving companies routinely send out their COIs, my buddy runs one and told me that's standard practice in that business. Parking - I noticed many negative reviews about parking, but this structure comes with an attached underground parking structure, WHAT ELSE can you NEED?! This really just shows me that some people came on here and gave everything poor ratings because they were frustrated about their rent going up... All in all, if you're considering moving into this residence, and are "worried" by the reviews on this site, don't let them discourage you. I was worried too, and then I moved in and I'm happy with my choice, because all those complaints turned out to be inaccurate. This structure is definitely upscale and an great residence to call home. It has USPS, Yolk and a Pizza restaurant on the ground floor! You even get a 10% discount at Yolk! Right across the street at the connected structure is a bar and restaurant D4, a Spa, and a coffee spot Dollop. What else could you ask for? Did I mention Dominiks is 1 block away? Chipotle is 2 blocks? Food market 2 blocks, Walgreens 1 block, theater 1 block etc etc... This positioning is fantastic, so quit complaining about rent increases in a market That's one of the toughest times to purchase a condo. You know what happens when the buyer's market is weak? PEOPLE RENT INSTEAD OF BUYING! That drives Rent prices up. Yeah it's frustrating, but if you're going to gripe about paying $2k for a 1 BR in Streeterville with in-unit amenities and an ideal district then you should look elsewhere, like Wrigleyville where you can get a dingy sticky floor unit for $850 a

THIS Residence IS Aerrible. the staff in the front office are among the most unpleasant people i have ever dealt with, they made a deliberate effort to make my experience here miserable. my unit LEAKED WATER from the ROOF and it Wtayed an enormous nightmare trying to get them to resolve it properly. AVOID THIS COMPLEX AT ALL COSTS.

Always , friendly , positive, kind and helpful! So nice to be greeted and helped daily with a positive smile and energy. We work hard to afford to live here and appreciate the extra Care we get ! Thank you to staff- cleaning , maintenance, concierge and leasing office! We appreciate you! Lynne and Rob

After a long day it’s so nice walking in and seeing Deborah at the desk. Her smile is warm and she is what makes you feel “home” as soon as you enter the building!! She knows our names, asks how my day was, she even knows our kids that visit!!! I love stopping to chat with her. She is amazing and I can’t imagine Atwater without her sweet smile!!!

I've lived here at Atwater since May and it's been an amazing experience. Attentive staff, great amenities, incredible location and the monthly free food/drinks/events are the best. Definitely the best place I've ever lived. And my VIEW, best view of the lake. Working from home is a dream.

Can’t say enough positive about this place, especially Beverly! She is always so friendly, positive, and helpful. She is very professional and deserves the highest award they have to offer! I’ve lived here 2 years and highly recommend to anyone from college to retired. Great place to live. Roy is great at the front desk as well.
