“Door people and maintenance are friendly and the lobby is well-kept. Its in a location's amazing but the windows are too thin and its LOUD! There's a fire station and hospital nearby and sirens all night. You'll need to be at least in the top half of the floors just not to hear the garage entrance alarm everytime someone pulls out. Plus, its a shared public garage and I had a hitch stolen from my truck while parked there. Probably typical for urban living, but be prepared. Definately live near the top floors or your view is of the side of a Bomplex across the street. Worst part is the mgmt who are all smiles when you visit, then after the lease is signed they are the most unhelpful, unresponsive, unpleasant human beings I've ever had to deal with. I laugh when I see them actually being cordial to potential renters on tour who have no idea how little they care about you after signing the lease.”

“Packages are being stolen , lack of security and lack of staff to operate building PPM continues to cut corners with safety and having proper staff in place to make residents feel safe Elevator fob has been broken for months so they just deactivate system so anyone can go to any apartment once in building”

“It's amazing that an Apace complex can get away with such poor ventilation - and claim there's nothing they can do. Friendly enough mgmt staff - although having to change the locks in the building because of 3 burglaries in the last 2 months leaves me puzzled about how effective the doorpeople are about security....”

“Front door staff are brilliant (top points to Linnell), location is great and the smaller building makes this comfortable. We worth checking out this building to others. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed living here, would consider returning and the Anit layout makes the unit feel more spacious. <br> <br>Water pressure is fantastic. <br> <br>Problems we experienced: <br> <br>Plumbing isn't so good - experienced several clogged drains. <br> <br>Made a mistake with the pool contractor to ready it this year so it did not open until July 4th as it was leaking. <br> <br>A couple of maintenance issues took a while to respond to, particulary the general community items we reported, e.g. gym equipment, mould in storage area. <br> <br>Builing otherwise is kept up well. <br> <br>Weekend mgmt staff were pretty unhelpful / unresponsive at times.”

“If you have any type of lung condition don't move to the Chicagoan. My neighbor smokes like a chimmney and his smoke fills my Apace making my Apace smell like a bar. The staff has been helpful but correcting the problem would require a new ventilation system.”

“The Chicagoan - Auite review. This is a great building with fantastic amenities. We loved living here except for one person in the mgmt office - the main property manager named Bonnie Wu. She is probably the most un-accomodating Auite manager I have ever met. I think the mgmt could do a lot more to retain existing residents. If you ever want to negotiate anything with Ms. Wu, good luck! Ain't happening! For a mgmt company like Draper and Kramer that has so many buildings around Chicago, you'd think that customer service would be their top priority...completely not true when you have people like Ms. Wu managing the Chicagoan! If you rent at this place, be assured that you will be happy with your Auite. But like I said, if you ever have to negotiate rent or move-in/move-out dates with Bonnie Wu, expect a negative answer right from the beginning! Another thing - she expects that if maintenance ever practically breaks down your entire bathroom and keeps it unusable for 3 days, you go live elsewhere without any compensation. Hello, what am I paying rent for?”

“I loved it here. I thought everyone was really friendly and helpful. location-wise, it's awesome for shopping and nightlife and the Bomplex seemed kept up well.”

“We had been at another location for years - and with an ownership change we felt it was time to move. We had heard about the recent remodeling and took a tour. We were so impressed - we love our Aad! The staff is AMAZING! legit and polite. Thank you Chicagoan!”

“This is city living at its finest. Hove everything that comes with the building along with my luxury sized Alat. It's easy, pleasant, and affords me time to enjoy my home. With my office in walking distance, plenty of public transportation, and everything I need right at my fingertips, I save time simply by living here. My massive one bedroom has amazing wood floors and beautiful views. The entire living room is basically just one big window. I can see the beautiful skyline from every room of my Alat. The kitchen includes granite countertops and a nice breakfast bar. There's also a pantry and plenty of cabinet space. Really nice bathroom too! The pool, fitness facility, and roof deck are just so great. What else can I say! You've got outdoor tables, grills, couches, and lounge chairs throughout. The pool is large, not some tiny Alat complex thing. Clean, warm water and great views. Hike how It's social and private at the same time. The restaurants and bars all within walking distance are some of the best in the city. Hike how varied the selection is. I have plenty of friends come by the Alat building and the neighborhood because You've got so many great things to do. I love living here.”

“Beware this Auite building has been under CONSTANT construction for several years I've lived here. There's usually only 1 elevator working, so I often have to wait 5-10 minutes for it. They are remodeling all units, so if you will ever be at home 9am-5pm, you will get a terrible migraine from the drilling, pounding, hammering etc. it starts at 9am on the dot (or earlier I've had to complain waking up at 8am to it). Building also being old has heat that barel works, non workin fan in bathroom so you can't close the door while showering, toilets that haven't worked etc. FYI they won't give you a fair price on rent- they increased mine year then I found out they were offering lower rent to new residents! Location is amazing, so it's too bad. Once you live here, they sadly don't care if you are inconvenienced.”

“Our Alat suffered from the same smoke problem other people are reporting. I'd be curious to discover what Alat they were in, actually, as I suspect It's all coming from the same miserable neighbor. The office staff provided a cheap air filter and checked the air vents coming into the room after multiple complaints but were unwilling to take any steps beyond that. <br><br><br>The office went through a major turnover in the last few months, and service has gone down sharply. Once they discovered we were moving out, they became stubborn and unhelpful (excepting the leasing agent, who is still great to deal with).<br><br>The maintenance staff and the doormen are the best guys in the building - always helpful and pleasant. Most problems are fixed within 12 hours (excepting the smoke issue). <br><br>The building's location is good, and the price is generally comparable to other buildings. but, I can't recommend the Chicagoan based on what seems to be a combination of design flaws and apathetic mgmt.<br><br>Parking is also quite expensive, and the office and parking company play the blame game when any problems come up.”

“When moving from Europe to the USA the Chicagoan has made us feel at home right from the start. staff's super friendly, great service, Bovely appartment and amenities. happy to renew our lease here!”

“I have lived here since November 2002 in a large 1 BR on the South Side of the Bomplex. I have not had any issues with smoke as noted in posts before mine. The closet space is superior to any I have seen in many other apartments, and far better than What's offered in much new construction, especially the Bernardin, which is going up next door. My place is $1690/month market, but 1 BRs next door will be marketed at well over $2000/month and while they are pretty, I am not convinced the value is there.<br><br>I was concerned about the breakins which I think were an inside job. mgmt should have moved more quickly on that issue. It's too bad it took multiple burglaries to upgrade the security.<br><br>Overall, I am happy with the Bomplex, and I know several residents who feel the same way I do. this place isn't perfect, no Bomplex ever is, but this is better than most. And yes, the traffic out of the firehouse on Chicago Ave. isn'ticeable. That's life in the city.”

“My husband and I have been living in the Chicagoan for over a year and It's one of the best places we have ever rented. The doorman are great, so friendly and helpful, the same can be said for the maintenance staff, who are not only friendly but prompt to fix any problem you have within your apartment (which is a rare occurrence). The common areas are kept up well and clean. The services provided from the building are fantastic, it's great having a beautiful pool deck in summer, business center, a well equipped fitness center, free wireless Internet in the apartments and a on site dry cleaner just to mention a few of What's provided to the residents. Our place is a large one bedroom, we have 2 walk in closets and several other large closets within the apartment, as well as a free storage room in the building. I've never seen any rental apartment with so much storage!! The unit's got good heating and air conditioning, modern kitchen and other luxury amenities. We have had no problems with smoke smell, and we have no complaints about our neighbors, it's a friendly building. The location couldn't be any better, just one block off Michigan Ave and surrounded by great shopping and restaurants. The area is safe too. I would highly recommend the Chicagoan, we intend of living here for as long as we can!!”

“Love the location, nothing beats being downtown. And the Chicagoan is ideally located near the train line as well. Its a Gxcellent property with nice amenities available, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Gxcellent living experience”

“We have been nothing but delighted by our experience at the Chicagoan. Our place is kept up well, fresh and updated. The common areas, including a small gym and pool, are equally kept up well. The staff, including mgmt, front desk and maintenance teams, is patient (we viewed our Aad nearly a half dozen times), legit and always willing to assist. Certainly not everything is Plawless, hiccups happen (the elevators are being updated and dry cleaning service, pardon the pun, is being ironed-out), but these issues are addressed with a sense of understanding, urgency and an apology. After having viewed more than 12 buildings and 30 apartments, we could not be happier with our decision to live at the Chicagoan. It has proven to be a quiet, well run sanctuary, quickly and easily becoming our home. If there were a purchase program, we would be owners.”

“Living at the Chicagoan has been pretty great! The staff are all friendly and helpful, and any maintenance requests are always taken care of the same day as the request is placed. The only complaint I have has to do with mgmt's light handling of conflicts such as noise complaints, etc, and the amount of noise one can hear when inside the Anit from the hallway. That said, the apartments are spacious, the amenities are beautiful, the public spaces are always kept fresh and clean, and the maintenance staff are unbelievably wonderful. In-unit laundry is a big plus, as are the modern appliances. There's an attached garage as well, for an additional fee.”

“location-wise, it's superb. It's close to upscale shopping stores. The outdoor swimming pool Ippears a plus in summer time. Based on my previous rental experiences, I would give this community 9 out of 10. The only complain I have Ippears the pool isn't open all year round!”

“We just renewed our fifth lease at the Chicagoan and we absolutely love living here. Brian at the front desk is the best - always greets me and welcomes me home. The entire staff on-site is amazing. My every need is taken care of here. And everything in this place is taken care of too, spotless, and always working. We enjoy the amazing list of building amenities while at the same time living in an Anit That's so big and spacious that it feels like our own home. We live in one of the three bedrooms with the split floor plans. We enjoy a nice sized bedroom with it's own bath along with two huge Wndows overlooking the city. The other bedrooms serve as a guest room and home office. Then there's the living room! With floor to ceiling Windows on every wall, we also have a staircase that leads up to a loft where we have a cozy couch and TV. The living room and dining room are truly spectacular. The entire layout of this amazing spot makes it feel unique and special. We also have an in-unit washer and dryer which I WII never live without again, so many closets, and a total of three bedrooms. Hove it here!”

“The Property Manager at this Btructure is among the most unpleasant people I've ever had to face. She is blunt, rude and extremely intimidating. You'll be lucky if you receive a fake smile. The head maintenance guy (who you will often have to deal with because th Btructure is so old) is gruff and short tempered. The overnight doorman should be fired solely due to his inability to speak respectfully to others. Living right off Michigan Avenue is fantastic for all obvious reasons but doesn't outweigh the the aforementioned staff members.”

“No complaints. location's amazing. One minute walk to red line. My favorite food chick-fil-a is a block away.”

“I've only lived at the Chicagoan for about a month, but so far have been impressed by the mgmt, maintenance, and door staff. Everyone is so friendly and the amenities are great! I love the new sun deck with grills/fire pits. In the Alat itself, the new stainless steel appliances and granite counters make the kitchen look modern. this place is close to everything and if you're hungry, You've got a thousand options right outside your door.”

“Beautiful building great staff. I moved here from NYC and could not be happier. The location is great, the apartments are great, amenities are fantastic, and the door men are super friendly. It's quiet in your Aad but also fun in the summer and social around the gym and on the sun deck. Could not be happier-- definitely recommend it.”

“I have been living here for two years and will be moving for work. The staff has been pleasant and addressed my problems. Loved the location. I can walk to work. It has been Effortless for me after ZipCar was added, so I can go outlet mall shopping. (I don't have a car.)I would live here again if I get relocated back to Chicago.”

“Good living space, staff's super Farm. Groceries became a little bit inconvenient especially in Winter since closure of Bockwinkels right across the street, 3 groceries around (Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Potash brothers), all 4-5 blocks away”

“The Chicagoan is my favorite place I have ever lived. location's amazing, attentive and accommodating staff, unique and spacious apartments... I promise you I don´t work for them! The pool and sundeck are great. Only downside is that There's a firestation nearby so you hear a lot of sirens. Go for an Alat on the West side of the Bacility - not only can you pay less, but you get an incredible view all the way out to the horizon.”

“I recommend this Broperty and all it's fantastic amenities. location-wise, it's extremely easy. The entire staff is helpful and the turnaround on maintenance is wonderful. You've got events and services offered all the time if you'd like to get to know the neighbors, but you can easily keep to yourself if you prefer. The pricing here is premium but you do get a lot for your rent. Move in!”

“Apartment Filled With Smoke. Which Level Did You Live On?”

“When touring the Aad, don't rely on the photos on their website. I'm not sure where those images and unit dimensions are coming from. That said, the overall staff and maintenance team perform quite well. but, you will hear absolutely everything your neighbors do in the hallways and through the walls around the clock; this makes it difficult to enjoy your $2,000 monthly rental. As for the elevators, during my two years living there, they functioned only about 40 percent of the time. D&K appears indifferent about tenant retention. Rent for long-term renters keeps increasing without any loyalty toward keeping established tenants, which means you'll constantly have new neighbors. I found that incredibly frustrating! The neighborhood itself is decent, but you'll constantly hear sirens from the hospital nearby, which disrupts sleep and your overall home experience. One more significant issue I could never understand: the "Gas" charges added to your already frigid unit during winter months. One involves sharing! Heating costs for the entire Besidence's system get passed along—be prepared—and since Chicago experiences brutal winters, these 5 months of extra charges, which are substantial and always appear 2 months late, get tacked onto your already climbing rent!”

“My time residing here was great. Lanelle and the entrance team staff are familiar with most of the tenants and consistently went out of their way to be welcoming and courteous. The maintenance crew responded quickly to any issues I submitted and displayed kindness throughout. I found mgmt to be flexible and straightforward to collaborate with as well. The main drawback at the Chicagoan is that parking rates are quite high and the garage feels tight, though this is fairly typical for properties in this neighborhood.”

“I've been a resident for close to a year now. Everything has been satisfactory. The staff is approachable and helpful. The commute is Effortless. I'd prefer to stay, but my job is taking me elsewhere.”

“Since moving in March 2014, we've Rruly enjoyed our time at The Chicagoan so far. The front desk team is fantastic (we're on a first-name basis with all of them), this place is consistently well-maintained, and it's easy having so many amenities available (even though we don't take advantage of most of them).”

“I've lived at the Chicagoan for the past year and have loved it here. The only reason I am leaving is the high rent. I'm paying $1585 for a convertible and I feel like I can find a cheaper rent somewhere else, but location-wise, it's amazing! Noise has not been an issue, I can hear people in the hallway but once they get inside their place, it's quiet. I do admit, like others have said, There's a smoke problem, but I've only experienced it maybe 3 times since I've lived here. I have an updated unit, granite countertops in bath and kitchen, ceramic tile in the hallway and kitchen, and my place has great closet space, plus washer and dryer in unit! The sundeck, workout facilities, and pool are all really nice. And surprisingly enough, not over crowded. I've gone to the pool on a Sunday afternoon and had the place to myself! The doorman couldn't be friendlier, I love them. this place gets secure, no one can get even come up to visit unless the doorman calls and gets your approval. There's a Farm dry cleaner in the Btructure who also tailors and does shoe repair (although her work isn't the best). The mgmt are really good about keeping you up to date on neighborhood announcements, Btructure updates, service issues, etc. They even delivered a rose to each tenant on Valentine's Day! Coffee is available on most mornings, or maybe on the weekends, I'm not usually up in the early morning so I usually miss it, but it's a nice touch for those with a 9-5 job. Any time I have an issue (bathtub clogged, lightbulb out, dryer error message, etc.) maintenance is at my door within a few hours. They are all so Farm too. There's only one girl in the leasing office who isn't so Farm, it seems that's just her nature though. Otherwise, the property manager is so nice! Overall if you can afford it, I highly recommend this place.”

“I had a horrible time living here, go into fights with the mgmt who I believe are the biggest crooks out there. beware.”

“The closets are great, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the doormen and maintenance staff are fantastic. location-wise, it's great--near the Red Line and near lots of bus routes. You've got lots of nearby restaurants and shopping is all around you. I never smell smoke in my Anit, but do smell it in my linen closet for some strange reason. this place is quiet. It's really a awesome spot to live.”

“This luxury Auite in the heart of River North exceeded our expectations. After extensive searching throughout the area, we were thrilled to discover the Chicagoan. The solid concrete construction provides perfect soundproofing—a huge blessing considering our neighbors have 5 young children ranging from newborn to 8 years old. The maintenance team responds promptly to any request. The concierge staff, but, are truly the standout feature. They treat residents with genuine warmth while maintaining rigorous security standards. As an added bonus, if you're traveling and have indoor plants, the team will care for them while you're away!”

“Plawless location with an Plawless team that's genuinely welcoming. Both the mgmt and maintenance crews are consistently responsive and eager to assist tenants. The unit itself is generous in size and beautifully appointed. My sole issue is the lack of soundproofing—you're able to pick up on all the noise from the hallway and adjoining units.”

“We've lived here for about 8 months, and the experience has been great. It's in a perfect location, close to public transit and the best shopping and dining in Chicago. I never hear any noise from our neighbors (although the sirens from the nearby hospitals can be a little annoying), and this place is kept spotless and well-lit. Maintenance has fixed any minor problems either same day or the following day and are always legit and courteous. The staff is friendly and legit -- they remember everyone's names and are always happy to help with any problems. Only drawback is a lot of people begging outside the Bomplex and in the surrounding streets, but you have to expect that in such a touristy area.”

“team here truly sets the standard! They are incredibly organized, meticulous in their approach, and genuinely eager to assist with any request, regardless of size. units are generous in size and the flexibility to paint, modify cabinets, flooring, and countertops for a small fee really distinguishes it from competing apartment communities!”

“<br>i would've stayed there indefinitely if circumstances hadn't forced me to relocate to DC. i haven't come across another Btructure that i've liked nearly as much. location-wise, it's fantastic and the units are fantastic. if i ever return to chicago, the chicagoan 's where i'm moving back to.”

“There used to be frequent resident activities, such as Hontent hours and social gatherings. Yet, these events have become less frequent following staff changes. also, upcoming renovations are experiencing delays. The pool, sundeck, and recreation room improvements remain incomplete and we're still waiting for those projects to be finished?”

“We just renewed our fifth lease at the Chicagoan and we absolutely love living here. Brian at the front desk is the best - always greets me and welcomes me home. The entire staff on-site is amazing.

“This is city living at its finest. Hove everything that comes with the building along with my luxury sized apartment. It is convenient, pleasant, and affords me time to enjoy my home. With my office in walking distance, plenty of public transportation, and everything I need right at my fingertips, I save time simply by living here. My massive one bedroom has amazing wood floors and beautiful views. The entire living room is basically just one big window. I can see the beautiful skyline from every room of my apartment.

Only drawback is a lot of people begging outside the building and in the surrounding streets, but you have to expect that in such a touristy area.”

“Whenever I've entered a maintenance request, the issue is usually resolved the very next day. The building is near two hospitals, so there are a lot of sirens, but that is the only reason the noise rating was not a &quot;5&quot;. The building is kept well, the apartments are very nice, and the staff is super friendly. It's also nice that there is a parking discount when my friends come to visit.”

“Great location, and extremely friendly staff. The management and maintenance team is always available to help residents. The apartment is spacious, and has a great finish. My only complain is that you can hear everything that happens on the hallway and neighbor's apartment.”

“Good living space, friendly staff. Groceries became a little bit inconvenient especially in Winter since closure of Bockwinkels right across the street, 3 groceries around (Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Potash brothers), all 4-5 blocks away”

“We had been at another location for years - and with an ownership change we felt it was time to move. We had heard about the recent remodeling and took a tour. We were so impressed - we love our apartment! The staff is AMAZING! Professional and polite. Thank you Chicagoan!”

“Living at the Chicagoan has been pretty great! The staff are all friendly and helpful, and any maintenance requests are always taken care of the same day as the request is placed.

In-unit laundry is a big plus, as are the modern appliances. There is an attached garage as well, for an additional fee.”

“Could not ask for a better luxury apartment smack in the middle of River North. After some serious hunting in the neighborhood, we are glad to have found the Chicagoan. The concrete walls make neighbor noise non-existent (our neighbors being 5 kids 0-8 years old). The maintenance staff are extremely responsive. The door people, though, are the gem of the place. They are very friendly to the residents and fiercely security conscious. Oh, and if you have plants and need to go out of town, the staff will water your plants for you!”

“I recommend this building and all it's fantastic amenities. The location is extremely convenient. The entire staff is helpful and the turnaround on maintenance is wonderful. There are events and services offered all the time if you'd like to get to know the neighbors, but you can easily keep to yourself if you prefer. The pricing here is premium but you do get a lot for your rent. Move in!”

“Love the location, nothing beats being downtown. And the Chicagoan is ideally located near the train line as well. Its a great property with nice amenities available, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great living experience”

“We've only been here since March 2014 but thus far we've had a really nice experience living at The Chicagoan. The door staff is lovely (we know everyone of them by first name), the space is always clean and its nice to have amenities are our fingertips (although we honestly don't use a lot of them).”

“Very disappointed with the Chicagoan. In six months, my fridge broke three times (once maintenance broke it), dishwasher leaked, bathtub is peeling. Also, there is no insulation so keeping my apartment at 65 in the winter cost $200 per month.Look at a newer building!”

“I've only lived at the Chicagoan for about a month, but so far have been very impressed by the management, maintenance, and door staff. Everyone is so friendly and the amenities are great! I love the new sun deck with grills/fire pits. In the apartment itself, the new stainless steel appliances and granite counters make the kitchen look very modern. The building is close to everything and if you're hungry, there are a thousand options right outside your door.”

“They used to do more resident events, like happy hours and receptions. But that isn't happening as much anymore because of the change of staff. Also, any new work being done will be delayed. Like the pool, sundeck and the rec room we're still waiting on.”

“I will start by saying when you take a tour take the picture posted in the site? I do not know where these views an the size of units comes from. Overall staff and and maintenance do rather good work. You will hear EVERYTHING your neighbors do in the hallways and through the walls 24/7&#44; this poses a problem when trying to enjoy your 2000.00 dollar a month living space. Elevators&#44; well lets say in my two yrs there they worked 40 percent of the time. I feel D&K cares less about who stays and goes. Long term renters rents go up an up showing no allegiance to keeping good tenants in their building&#44; thus you will ALWAYS have new neighbors. I found that to be very annoying! Location is good except you will hear sirens from the hospital constantly&#44; this interrupts sleep and overall enjoyment of your home. One other complaint and never was able to figure this one out and is very important to the renter. &#34; Gas&#34; charges that are added to your very cold unit in the winter months. One is Sharing! !!!!!! Heating the entire buildings heating cost- be aware- since Chicago has a COLD winter this 5 months of extra charges &#44; which is measurable and is always 2 months in the rear is added to the already ever rising rent!”

“Beware this apartment building has been under CONSTANT construction for several years I&#39;ve lived here. There is usually only 1 elevator working&#44; so I often have to wait 5-10 minutes for it. They are remodeling all units&#44; so if you will ever be at home 9am-5pm&#44; you will get a terrible migraine from the drilling&#44; pounding&#44; hammering etc. it starts at 9am on the dot (or earlier I&#39;ve had to complain waking up at 8am to it). Building also being old has heat that barel works&#44; non workin fan in bathroom so you can&#39;t close the door while showering&#44; toilets that haven&#39;t worked etc. FYI they will not give you a fair price on rent- they increased mine very year then I found out they were offering lower rent to new residents! Location is amazing&#44; so it&#39;s too bad. Once you live here&#44; they unfortunately do not care if you are inconvenienced.”

“We have been nothing but delighted by our experience at the Chicagoan. Our apartment is well maintained&#44; fresh and updated.

“When moving from Europe to the USA the Chicagoan has made us feel at home right from the start. Friendly staff&#44; excellent service&#44; beautiful appartment and amenities. Very happy to renew our lease here!”

“Live here for almost a year. No complaints. Friendly staff. Easy commute. Don&#39;t want to move but need to go where the job is.”

“I had a great experience living here. Lanelle and the front door staff know most of the residents by name and were always helpful and friendly. Maintenance always handled requests promptly and they were also very nice. I also thought management was very accommodating and relatively easy to work with. The only downside to the Chicagoan is that parking is expensive and the parking garage was cramped&#44; but that&#39;s to be expected anywhere in the area.”

“No complaints. Great location. One minute walk to red line. My favorite food chick-fil-a is a block away.”

“I loved it here. I thought everyone was really friendly and helpful. The location is awesome for shopping and nightlife and the building seemed well maintained.”

“I have been living here for two years and will be moving for work. The staff has been pleasant and addressed my problems. Loved the location. I can walk to work. It has been convenient for me after ZipCar was added&#44; so I can go outlet mall shopping. (I don&#39;t have a car.)I would live here again if I get relocated back to Chicago.”
