Condos are poorly built. The lobby is dirty, carpets are nasty and stained. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! A pipe burst in my wall and flooded my entire condo (unit 26). The entire place had to be gutted, MOLD was everywhere. Many other tenants have experienced the same issue with pipes bursting. There was mold throughout my entire unit and the landlord tried to convince me that mold wouldn't form due to mainitence spraying as if a spray would prevent mold in that capasity of water damange. (Unit 26) DO NOT RENT THIS UNIT!!! My landlord was terrible with handling the situation. I moved out due to being displaced and having to live in a hotel for a month and 5 days. I have filed a civil case against the owner. Awaiting a court datea a

Atrocious! I hope you Don't buy a condo here, you will regret it. The management here is HORRIBLE, he's rude to everyone, dismissive and all around has a horrible attitude. During my time at Prairie District Lofts at one point they thought I wasn't home and let another owner into my apartment with the maintenance which his illegal. That is just the tip of he iceberg. I will be sharing in detail the experience I have had living here on Google when I have the time to go over all of my notes and emails from everything that was not handled correctly at this horrible building. Oh, elevators have been broken for over a year so I hope you aren't moving to the 5th floor. I'd stay away from this place at all cost! Anywhere is better. I'd rather stay at the YMCA.

It's 2016, DK Condo is the property manager and they are doing a much better job than the previous company who I won't mention. The condo board is productive and proactive, and our HOA fees are very competitive and are likely to stay that way. The building condo association doesn't own the parking lot next door, but most residents are able to rent a spot there for about 150-200 a month. If you want an indoor spot just hunt online for a rental and you should be able to find something in a month or two. Our new internet is great, I have measured speeds in my condo at 200mbs down/up. The building seems safe, I have t heard of any robberies or break ins here. If you are considering to move here, I think you'll be pleased with the building, your neighbors, and staff.

Times have changed. Many of the reviews on here are either from people circa 2003 that never actually lived in the building or disgruntled renters who found out that they had the option to buy or vacate the building. Management for the three years I have lived here has been friendly and responsive, and the maintenance guys have been known to go out of their way on weekends to pitch in. The building recycles, too, which is important to me. The rooftop deck has great views of the city, and PDL sits on a quiet stretch of Indiana Ave - close to Michigan Ave. and mass transit on one side, and the lakefront on the other side for outdoor activities. The lofted condos are almost all unique in their dimensions and design, thanks to the age of the building (85 years and counting). This building is a reasonable, mid-range building with friendly neighbors that is a stone's throw from downtown and Museum Row.

I was there for 2yrs and never in my life experience the rude treatment and having to live in a smelly, dog poop and urine infested building! While you are trying to watch tv or simply sleep , you can hear your neighbors television and even hear them taking a leak in their bathrooms!!! And please don't try and rent the place because they will lie and say that it's only for 3mo of them showing your unit to other "prospective" buyers when in actuality, it's the entire time of your stay. They inform you 48 hrs...SOMETIMES..in advance that they are going to be invading your privacy and bring unknown ppl in to view your place and try to sell it. This happens more than once a week. This is how they treat those who pay them monthly!!! I have a neighbor who told me they have been in my apt when I was not there and they didn't inform me of that. They have even been in her place without her informing her bc she set it up in a way that she would know if anyone entered her apartment. All their appliances are old and need to be updated. The last straw for me is when the sells department came in to show my place and left my door unlocked and visually open!!! Once again no respect for your renters!!!! So all the sells tactic they try to give to you, pls BEWARE, it's definitely not what you think!!!

It's a great place to rent, but not for condos. No parking lot soon, no views, what are we supposed to buy??? They should stick with renting this place because I don't think anyone will buy here.

Great place... except it is trying to go condo. And, the parking lot is probably going away in a few years. Ouch! North and east sides may lose the nice views.<br><br>But if you don't believe me, check out www.pdl-tenants.com for more info.

Lived there for a year and was happy to get out. Apartment was pretty nice except for the low quality appliances and kitchen. The management was the absolute worst in that if your problems were an inconvenience for them, they would not even bother with it. Acted like they cared until they realized that you were not signing another lease with them. It was a huge issue dealing with deposit. We kept our apartment in the same condition it came in and the management team screwed us out of our deposit. Trust me when I say this, the units looks very nice when you first walk in but it is not worth the price or dealing with the management. I would not recommend anyone living there based on the experience I had.

No management here. I could not get them to cooperate. You receive nasty notes when a holiday is near and the ask you to call the police on your neighbors! Dirty halls and a very bad manager. BAD is all I can say.

I am looking at apartments and want to move in a couple months. I called the leasing center to make an appointment on a Saturday to look. The woman said that no one would be there on Saturdays, while the online brochure said that they show on Saturdays by appointment. So the woman asked me when I plan to move. I said in a couple months. So she says, "Oh" in a disappointing tone, like she didn't want to help me anymore. So she tells me that they only have 2 units available and that they wouldn't know of any availability until the month before my lease is up! I'm not waiting until A MONTH before my lease is up to start looking at apartments! This woman was RUDE and clearly knows nothing about a long term sale. I don't even want to look at their units because of her. Will the management be just as bad?
