The size of my apartment is truly ideal. It is spacious, very open, and has lots of closet space. One of my favorite features is the dining area and kitchen. These two areas are separated from the living area and it helps to make it feel like it has more rooms than it does. I enjoyed being able to set up an eating area, which I didn't have room for in my last apartment. The kitchen is also very nice and recently upgraded with great updated appliances. The bedroom contains two huge closets and nice big window that looks out onto the neighborhood below. It is very pleasant here in the morning and very quiet at night. I really enjoy living on a peaceful, tree-lined street. I work close by so I feel very lucky to have found such a nice place in the neighborhood. Now I can walk or bike to work which makes my life that much easier! There is also lots of public transportation options in close by so I can get around Chicago with ease. The entire neighborhood is full of fun things to do. The restaurants are all delicious and there is lots of different types of food to try. Shopping around here is excellent and so is the nightlife! So many things to choose from.

My building manager is great. He completes and fixes things in a timely manner. The building itself is usually very clean and the outside grounds are some of the best on the street. There are beautiful flowers and green grass in the summer. He also always shovels the walks in the wintertime. He also answers all phone calls in a timely fashion and says "Hello" when we see each-other. It is a nice feeling to live in a building with such a pleasant manager. My apartment is wonderful. It was very clean when I first moved in and I really appreciated that. I was happy with how the rooms were laid out and the size of the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom as well as all the closet space. The kitchen is tucked away in the corner, right away the little dining nook which helps open up the living room. My bedroom is very cozy with beautiful light in the morning. I also have an entire wall of closets in this room, which is so so helpful to keeping everything very clean. It is also very convenient that we have both laundry and parking onsite. So many amenities in one beautiful building!

When I arrived, my apartment was clean and everything was in perfect working order. I loved how well cared for the floors were and how clean the new paint was on the walls. It made moving in that much easier. I also enjoy the layout of the space. It feels roomy and has a nice big window and lots of closets. I've only lived here a month and I haven't encountered any issues thus far. The other tenants inform me that the building engineer is very prompt when it comes to fixing things in the building and their apartments. That's a nice feeling, knowing everything will be quickly taken care of. I also appreciate that Planned Property Management is already checking in to see how everything is going. I got the sense when was working with them to find my new apartment that they'd be attentive and communicative and I am very pleased so far. I am quite pleased with the location. The street is quiet and I don't hear any traffic from my window. The businesses of Lakeview are all in walking distance from my front door as is the park. I also like the vast selection of public transportation options so close by.

My favorite part about living here is the layout of my apartment. Hove how having a small hall when you enter make it feel bigger than it is. It is a nice way to enter my space. There is also a nice sized closet on my right and a small room before the bathroom that has two closets! When you live in a studio apartment, closets are of the utmost importance. I am also impressed with how big the kitchen id It has a little opening up to the living space with a breakfast bar. How nice is that! And then the living space is also a nice size with a big window The whole place is clean and fresh. I like it a lot! I needed some maintenance done in my apartment and Ovi finished it quickly. He is a very nice person and very professional. I appreciate his presence in the building. He keeps everything clean and in working order. It is really awesome that I have laundry and parking my building too! The building itself feels very safe and it makes me feel even better to have my own parking spot. A really nice building in an amazing location. What more could I ask fort

I like living at 544 W Melrose St very much. I picked this building because of it's great location. It is so easy to get work by public transportation and during the warmer months I'm close enough to the lakefront that I can ride my bike to work on the bike path. I can't stress how nice that is! Lincoln Park is such a special part of Chicago and I feel lucky to live here. Lakeview is a very popular part of town which makes for lots of cool places to eat. I love all the options I have. I definitely dine out a lot! I also have friends visited me and they all love the area and find it very easy to get to. There are also a great selection of places to go for comedy which I absolutely love. Another great thing about Chicago! Plenty of grocery stores close by and other handy dandy stuff. I really do have everything I need super close. We have laundry in the building which is great as well as parking. Even though I don't have a car, I know other tenants really appreciate it. The apartment and building are very clean and well maintained. I like the size of apartment and feel very happy here.
