Tenant Reviews for 747 N WABASH AVE

PLEASE DO NOT LIVE HERE! We lived here for many years. At first it was wonderful, but the management turned over many times, and currently the management staff is absolutely awful. Also, make sure you are a smoker, as often you will have smoke filter into your apartment from various neighbors. I know that this happened in our unit, as well as to several other residents I spoke with. We were forced to move as a result of this situation. After living in the building for many years, we couldn't have been more disappointed in the way in which we were treated. Also, be prepared for large rent increases each year. We parked our cars in the building's garage. The windows were smashed in on our car overnight and we received a "there is nothing we can do about it" response from management.

staff deletes bad reviews regarding living at the bernardin.

I absolutely love living at The Bernardin. Coming home every day to the most beautiful building, friendly staff and comfortable apartment really makes it feel like home. Every single one of my friends that has come in the building comments on how lovely the amenities are, from a cozy fireplace in the lobby to a great gym and a gorgeous pool, hot tub and sun deck. The biggest maintenance issue I have encountered in one year of living there has been burnt out light bulbs which the building engineers are quick to replace. The doormen take the time and care to know your name (and your dogs name too!) and always have a smile on their face. The leasing staff are great, they are always there to help with whatever your need or just for a friendly chat. And as an added perk, the location is perfect. Close to CTA, great restaurants and a safe neighborhood. Love it here!

My fianc and I moved into the Bernardin a few months ago and I cannot emphasize how amazing this building is. The staff continues to impress and the way they go above-and-beyond to assist in every way possible is so refreshing and unlike any building I have ever lived. The location is unmatched and the tenants very welcoming. The building has a great terrace and an awesome pool. Looking out from our balcony it is easy to compare Bernardin s pool to the others in this area and I am happy to report that there is no a comparison. Again, I want to ensure that I convey how amazing the staff is. The leasing office accommodates their tenants in every way possible, the door personnel are by far the best, and the maintenance crew extends their services to even help with unit improvements. If you take a tour and meet the staff, you will experience what I am talking about. Have a great day! All the best!

I moved few months ago here and I am very glad with the decision. All the staff is extremely nice, they greet you always, and they help you with everything they can. The facilities are very nice and always clean. The pool, jacuzzi and grills are perfect to have fun with friends. The business center is ideal to go print, fax, scan and check e-mails. The apartments have nice appliances and are also very spacious. I also think that the location is one of the best things this place has to offer. I recommended this place to a friend, and she is coming in a few weeks, I would highly continue recommending this place!

Moved in a few months ago and couldn't be more happy with my choice. The location is wonderful with many great restaurants and bars within walking distance. The pool is incredible and not overly crowded (which is usually the case in most other buildings). Would highly recommend this place.

The Bernardin is a terrific place to live in order to take advantage of all that Chicago has to offer. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The building and amenities are top notch and we couldn't be happier with our decision to become part of the Bernardin community.

Wonderful place to live. Great location. Very close to a lot of great restaurants, grocery shopping, Michigan Avenue, movie theaters, city parks, Spas, museums, public transportation, you name it, it's at your hands! Very secure and safe, 24/7 doorman that will assist you in everything that you need. The building is beautiful! Wonderful music in the lobby welcomes you to a high end commodities resident building that includes an in unit washer and dryer. The pool is gorgeous! The gym and club house are very very nice, and there is even access to an office for faxing, photocopying, and computer use available. The management office is wonderful and very attentive to cater to your needs. I couldn't be happier here.

Living at the Bernardin is an absolute pleasure! My one bedroom, one bath unit is spacious with an exceptionally large bedroom and bathroom. Washer & dryer are in-unit which is so convenient. The amenities are fab. Pool is beautiful and well-maintained, very oasis-like. Clean gym with weights, treadmills, bike and Precor machine. Ample space for stretching and weight work. Looks out onto pool. Any maintenance issue or request is handled immediately. Jason, Samir & Juan are all amazing. They've helped me hang mirrors, artwork and add closet shelves. The management staff (Rebecca, Carly & Matt) is warm, upbeat and always accommodating. They know every resident's name. Can't say enough wonderful things about their work as a team and individually. Would recommend living here to everyone!

I began looking for a place to rent in the downtown Chicago area in February of this year. I scoured River North and the Goldcoast, and The Bernardin easily leaves everything else in the dust. ...by far. The building itself is beautiful. Great pool, in-unit washer/dryer, etc... The building management - namely Matt and Carly - is wonderful. They are completely approachable when I have questions of any kind, which is a huge deal in a rental building. The concierge staff is phenomenal. So incredibly nice, thoughtful, and - as has been mentioned previously - greet me by name and with a big smile every day. The maintenance/engineering team is terrific as well, by the way. Would I recommend living here to a friend? Without hesitation.
