Tenant Reviews for 1727 S INDIANA AVE

I lived in PDL for one year, and I have some comments:<br><br>1. The apartments are very nice - a little pricey - but nice.<br>2. Remember that these are wood lofts - so you will definitely hear the people above you.<br>3. Maintenance was good - whenever we had problems they were usually there the same day.<br>4. Not that it really matters - but they did not do a good job with keeping the outdoor grounds clean and looking nice.<br>5. Management wasn't the greatest - they did what they had to, but coming from other apartments that were managed better I could definitely tell a difference.<br><br>Overall, it is a nice place - but in my opinion quite pricey.

Unless you don't mind very dirty common areas (cigarette butts and the stale stench of smoke in the hallways, dog poop by one of the doors, hallway carpets stained with dog urine), noisy neighbors, lots of dust from the construction going on in the neighborhood and from the brick walls in the units, poorly planned architecture, cheap fixtures and closets and kitchen cabinets, and rather shoddy management. Yes, the units are extremely cool, but had we known more about this building we would never have considered moving here. They bill the place as having luxury lofts but there is nothing luxurious about them. We regret the day we signed the lease.

I just recently went to the Prairie District Lofts. They had an open house that I thought was great. They had refreshments and great people working there. The people working there were very knowledgeable about the building and wanted to help me find a home. I loved the building. It was very clean and quiet. With all this being said, I rented there and I cant wait to move in.

I have lived here for over 5 years. I love the building and the management staff. The building is run very well and is always clean. Everytime I go in the office or see the staff in the hallways, they know my name and always ask how I am doing. The staff makes me feel welcome and at home. I think the other people who are writing bad reviews couldn't get into the building or are just mean people. ANYONE WOULD LOVE TO LIVE HERE.<br><br>

I was there 2 days and i thought the building along with management were very nice. I met 2 nice ladies in the office, they were both funny, kind and wanted to help me. I rented there. I can't wait to move in.<br><br>

My wife and I are from Florida. We were just at Prairie District Lofts earlier this week. The building is beautiful and the staff is very kind. They made me feel like I was already at home. We have applied here and can't wait to move in. We had looked at about 15 other buildings in the past 2 weeks and this was our favorite because of the cleanliness of the building and its management staff. I would recommend everyone to live here.<br><br>

The people who are saying this is a dirty building with bad management is crazy. I have been here a while and I love it. The management has always been great and always listened to my complaints and needs. The building is one of hte cleanest in chicago. I have lots of friends in the city and they have nasty places, this is a great and clean place. People who are writing these bad reviews are bitter and probably didn't get what they wanted.

I just moved out of this dump and its a real mess...with no management and poor assistance if you need it forget it. just a mess all around with NO and very poor help from the office staff. It took forever to just get small things done. F- is the grade I give the manager of this place. We moved.

I don't understand all those complaints as the actual resident who has been living in this Building. I never thought the building is dirty. Well, I am very picky and sensitive person but even still to me, this building is all right. The loft style living is very fancy and most of all the location of the building is just fantastic -Lots of free parking spots, very safe neighborhood,and close to downtown and Metra. The management people are very nice and listen to you well.

My cat enjoyed the "loft" as she could climb up the walls, but I lost her to a mugger in the alley between Paulina and Devon in 1991. The extra space is of no use to me for I do not believe in pictures and thus my walls are boring and make me feel confined and cellual. I am also a speech coach and the echo is DISTRACTING. Had I known this was a "loft" then I NEVER would have signed me 11 year lease.
