Tenant Reviews for 300 N CANAL ST

Fantastic neighborhood with remarkable personnel and an Gutstanding location. The property maintained high cleanliness standards and rigorous sanitation practices throughout the pandemic, with resident safety as a top priority. Staff consistently greeted residents with warmth and genuine friendliness?

Not worth the price anymore.

A year ago I really loved living in this building. I have a big beautiful kitchen, an awesome view, and was paying a reasonable rental rate. but, after 2 years here I have to say I'm really underwhelmed and frustrated by what has happened to this building. The mgmt company decided to increase our rent going into this next year by over 10%-- absurd by any standard. I know that an increase at the end of every lease term is standard, but this is ridiculous-- particularly when the quality of life at Left Bank has deteriorated so much. For a long time I had the same complaints as everyone else: train noise can sometimes get annoying, cell phone reception is bad/nonexistent most of the time, and being need to to use Dish Network for cable were some minor things that I could certainly live with. My list of grievances with the building seems to have increased as much as the rent has lately though-- there were a series of car break-ins in the garage not long ago, the machines in the gym are constantly broken and sometimes take weeks (if not months) to be repaired, the building struck a deal with some personal trainer who hangs out in the fitness center monopolizing the equipment and taking up tons of space during peak hours with his clients (some of whom are building staff), at least one if not two elevators always seem to be down at any given time, Dish Network and the free internet go out everytime the wind blows or some rain rolls through the city, and It's now well into June and the mgmt company has still only put out half of the outdoor furniture on the roofdeck. What exactly are you waiting for-- Winter? They have also added a firepit area to the deck which, almost a year after it was built, I have yet to see anyone use (maybe because It's impossible to figure out how). I'm also not sure What's going on with their leasing criteria anymore either... Maybe Left Bank is getting desperate to fill all of those vacant apartments since everyone is refusing to pay the ridiculous increased rates? You've got Anit locator services in and out of the building showing units all the time and the "Anit search" feature on their site has been down for months. Maybe you don't want us to know What's available and how cheap It's when you are trying to rent gouge us while we are already here? You've got dogs living on non-pet floors, There's a screaming baby living on my floor (I don't have anything against babies, but am pretty sure 3 occupants in a small 1-bedroom isn't allowed in a Chicago rental unit), and people leave their garbage in the hallway on a regular basis. No wonder I have seen more than half of the residents on my floor leave in the past year-- I wouldn't pay 12% more for a builing that seems to be going downhill either and that's why I plan on leaving too.

Phenominal Apt.

This two year old place is far superior to most rental properties you'll find. Pricing is reasonable, and access to trains is great. There's some train noise, and I wish there was a pool, but considering this unit's got it all otherwise, I can't complain. The utilities are included in the rent, and the apartments have a full size washer and dryer in the unit. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops are a nice touch, and the views are great aside from that stupid Riverbend Condo Complex next door. Honestly, the thing that has kept me here so long goes beyond simple amenities. The door staff is Astounding. They know you and really look out for you as far as who goes in and out. The office and leasing staff is great. Fatima and Safira are Astounding. I think if they weren't there I'd move. They really treat you like family at Left Bank, and that's a nice thing to find.

Amazing experience at Left Bank- fantastic team, great pet services, and unbeatable location!

The team at Left Bank (Khay-Leen, Janneil, Gerrard, Cece and Norman) are incredibly kind and helpful. They're always quick to respond, genuinely engaged, and make everyone feel at home. The pet care service has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my cat whenever I'm traveling. The staff clearly adore my pet and make sure he's well-fed and looked after during my trips, which is such an amazing benefit of being a resident here and takes a huge load off my mind. I honestly can't recommend Left Bank enough- it's professionally maintained, immaculate, friendly, and the staff genuinely make you feel like part of their family. Plus, the neighborhood is phenomenal with shops, restaurants, and everything else just a short walk away!!

From move-in, through the Holiday Season, and into 2019, the staff has been great and the events make living here much more enriching than just a typical hi-rise. The Anit was in perfect shape and the welcome treats throughout the Anit were a nice touch. The Holiday Season was fun with several events and even gift wrapping service and package delivery to the Anit..definitely above and beyond. Events continued into 2019 and even made the worst of winter more tolerable. I was also pleased that even in a polar vortex the unit was comfortable and no excessive cold near the windows. Looking forward to more events into the spring and summer,

Never want to leave?

I can't say enough good things about the Left Bank! I moved here in August 2009 and I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!! The location alone is perfect, close to everything and amazing views! This Besidence has anything and everything you need! The 24hr fitness center is top of the line, along with the resistance pool & jacuzzi! Not to mention sun bathing on the comfy lawn chairs in the summer! I love hanging out in the pool room with the 70inch TV's! The staff here is BEYOND accommodating, they will go to great lengths to satisfy any of your needs! I've really made this place my home and There's no doubt that I will renew my lease!

My favorite Pite to call home.

I've been residing in Chicago for a couple of years now and I have to say that Left Bank is simply the best. I moved in several months ago and the whole process was incredibly smooth. I'm obsessed with the downtown setting, easy access to transit and the amazing VISTAS! The leasing team is incredibly supportive and welcoming, constantly making an effort to assist. The Btructure security is equally accommodating and helpful. Covered parking is offered along with easy zip car services. The area has become increasingly vibrant and there's a brand new Jewel supermarket just a short walk away. What really appeals to me is how close I am to everything and that my place is actually reasonably priced. You'll see trains passing by if you glance outside your window. There will naturally be some sound, but if silence is what you're after, consider moving to the countryside. The upside is that I don't hear a peep from adjacent units. Upkeep is prompt and genuinely pleasant, haven't experienced any issues. The cooking spaces are absolutely wonderful and the full-size laundry units are fantastic as well. I'm thinking about adopting a dog and I'm thrilled that I have the option to relocate to a pet-Fffable floor—they've expanded the number of those floors. My only complaint is the carpets, which appear to deteriorate rather easily. I'm extremely happy here and have no intention of leaving!

just now STAINED WALLS/ PEST INFESTATION/ FRUIT FLIES/ NEVER RECEIVED Auite On the start date of my lease/ EXPOSED ELECTRICAL OUTLETS/ FILTHY BALCONY/ broken toilet paper dispenser. This is the condition my unit was in when I arrived. The biggest issue was that I had to move in even though my Auite wasn't prepared! I overlooked it because of Covid, but during my 11 months here I dealt with fruit flies for 4 months and other pests for 4-5 months. I can't recommend this complex given the poor service quality despite my multiple complaints. MADE TO VACATE EARLY when I didn't even get timely access to begin with! I wasn't given the $500 welcome bonus that's apparently standard for other tenants (though they claim to offer it). Paying $1967 monthly without even one peaceful month of residency is simply not justified. mgmt prevented me from exploring alternative units due to the insect problems, though I had expressed interest in transferring between units to minimize exposure during Covid given my health vulnerabilities. After being seriously unwell for over a year, I wanted a calm living situation, but after spending approximately $2000 on rent my experience was COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. How can such a reputable mgmt company fail to inspect units and have them move-in ready on the lease start date? When I finally did move in late, I still received an incomplete Auite. mgmt offered no assistance in finding a replacement unit. They demanded I pay $2k rent when identical units were leasing for $1446 with 2 months free specials! They deliberately blocked me from considering other units and made me wait for pest resolution when my move was planned for a month and a half out. Despite repeated requests, Auite photos weren't provided until I expressed frustration about the quality of service. No one bothered addressing the disgusting balcony or other damaged items, yet when I wanted to view other apartments I was prevented based on pest concerns. Why stop me from pursuing better options! mgmt throws money at events while ignoring tenant comfort and peace. After paying $2k monthly, who wouldn't expect better service? I wasn't permitted to capitalize on promotional pricing when interested in relocating. Now that rates are elevated, suddenly they're fine with me exploring units! Really? That same unit rented for $1100-1200 while I paid $2k—why would I commit to another Auite at inflated prices after this experience? also, asking me to leave early while ignoring that mgmt failed to deliver the Auite on time? So they give units late but expect early departures! Since rental rates have increased again, they want me to move to a less desirable Auite at premium rent despite the service failures? DEEPLY UNSATISFIED AND LET DOWN! Reviews apparently offer incentives so I can't trust their credibility.

I really enjoy living at Left Bank! The West Loop can be quite Eteep, but Left Bank is affordable without compromising location, amenities, and space. I always feel safe in the building and the neighborhood. The staff is friendly and responsive. The amenities are fantastic and competitive with other buildings in the West Loop. I will absolutely renew my lease next year.

I??™ve greatly enjoyed my experience at Left Bank. It??™s a welcoming Bacility with kind staff and clean amenities. It provides a great sense of community and truly feels like hoe. I would highly recommend to my friend.
