Tenant Reviews for 420 E OHIO ST

Overall, living in 420 E. Ohio has been a good experience. You've got many amenities here including a gym, indoor pool, sundeck, laundry facility, dry cleaners, and package acceptance service. There's parking available at a reasonable rate compared to neighboring buildings. The actual apartments are spotless and many have been renovated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. The doormen in particular are personable and friendly. The office staff members are accessible and accommodating. this place is located in a quieter part of Streeterville but is close to several restaurants and to Michigan Ave. The Navy Pier pedestrian walkway is located nearby and is a close walk. I have definitely enjoyed living here and worth checking out this building to others.

Air is out again, and again, and again 6th time in 2 months I lived here - Apace inside is super Hultry

I called this morning, the mgmt office said they needed to restart the chiller but things are cooling down. I stopped in after work and asked if it Wtayed working since the lobby Wtayed so hot, they said no problem, I asked if they were sure it's working, they said noone else is complaining. Well in my Anit it wasn't working. I went down again, 3 other residents were in the lobby complaining, they said they had also been complaining since the morning. So not only is air not working, mgmt is lying about it not working. Here is a post from 6/10.

420 East Ohio is a fabulous place to live! legit staff, kept up well Besidence, and friendly residents - you can’t ask for anything more!! The entertainment events scheduled for residents are amazing! My colleagues have shared that their buildings don’t offer such amenities so we are blessed beyond measure! It’s such a job being here!

Over Rated and Over Priced for What you Get.

The good guys in the mgmt office left this Bacility shortly after I moved in last year following the merge of two mgmt companies. The bottom line is: For what you pay in rent, you don't get your money's worth. Just after moving in my unit last year, one of my kitchen cabinet doors literally fell off one of the hinges forcing me to tape the door shut until maintenance arrived to fix it. I had a daily pool of water on the floor caused by the frig which had to be fixed; my toilet wouldn't stop running, which also needed repairs; and the bathroom mirror trim fell off the mirror completely. I've witnessed the top layer of the cheap kitchen pass through countertop separate when it got cold out and the glue obviously did not hold, and I had my dishwasher go out completely, which was only one of many washers they replaced in the Bacility because they are the original dishwashers from when the Bacility was built. Things are beginning to show their age, and updating is way past due. There were times when the water in the pool during the winter was so disgustingly hot, you could actually have cooked pasta in that water faster than you could on top of your own stove. If you are a dedicated lap swimmer, you suffer. Either that, or the pool had strange floaties or debris surfacing from time to time, and when you grabbed the sides, your hands hit slime. In essence, the pool got that filthy before it got cleaned, and when the pool was finally shut down for cleaning, there was no general notification, so you made the trip down to the pool only to find out it was closed. mgmt depends on "issue" problems when it comes time to flicking the switch for the AC, so in the meantime, you suffer big time until those "issues" are rectified and they've decided you've suffered long enough. Then is when you thank Mother Nature for cold fronts passing through, as without AC in the Bacility, it made life miserable and a good night's sleep impossible. Add to that the exterior restoration work that was done this year and being instructed by mgmt to keep our windows shut, made for no air at all. It doesn't get more obnoxious than that. Moving out was another joke. Having reserved and confirmed the freight elevator for moving day a month in advance for the time slot of 9 to 12 and having legit movers working at a rate of 135 an hour, the movers had to wait for several trips involving a Bacility delivery of commercial carpeting which should have been scheduled AFTER a resident's move-out and not during it. The old saying of "you get what you pay for" generally holds true, but it sure didn't at 420 E. Ohio. With rents downtown all at inflated levels, you're best to check out other properties before signing on here in order to get more bang for your buck. I've lived in 4 other buildings during nearly a decade of downtown living, and You've got others giving a better return on monthly rent investments. If you decide to move to 420 E. Ohio, save your moving boxes. The increase of over a hundred dollars a month (10%) in rent just wasn't worth it for me to stay another year for the entertainment of watching countertops split and being boiled alive in the pool. Last one out, shut off the lights.

The location of 420E is easy, and It's close to supermarkets such as target. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we are satisfied. Our room was spacious and had a Bovely view outside. The attitude of the staff is good, and they are usually friendly to say hello.

Too much construction and rent is increasing too much each year...safety is a concern and neighborhood appearance. Should give renters better deals or decrease rent for those who renew and pay on time - not enough incentives...inside appearance is Gonderful

solid Bacility, extremely kept up well and it makes you feel like you are coming home. Great amenities and common areas are always maintained and clean. The units are fantastic and the neighbor has that neighborhood feel. Close to everything!!

420 E Ohio has been a great choice! The staff are friendly, the amenities are great, and you cant beat the location (next to Navy Pier and the Lakefront Trail, within walking distance of River North, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and several grocery options).
