651 SOUTH WELLS STREET, Chicago, IL

awesome spot, Gonderful Price, Gonderful Neighbors! One of the nicest places.

I've been a tenant at The Regal for 8 Years and the Bomplex itself is wonderful and the mgmt has alwasy been friendly and gone out of their way to accomadate me and others in the Bomplex. mgmt has always been good about upgrading as long as its needed and we ask. They can' do upgrades if no one asks... As for the other reviews on here...well lets just say the people complaining are lying due to the fact that mgmt is simply trying to adhere to guidelines. Pay the rent on time, don't disturb your neighbors or assault the staff members and perhaps you won't feel the need to post negative reviews for a good reasonable place to live.

don't MOVE IN ANY OF THESE RESIDENCES! They will act all Nharming and make many promises upon move in, but once you live there you and have signed a lease - you are treated terribly. The mgmt is unprofessional and disorganized, as is evident in their constant turnover. The current manager, Sam Oshana, made vague statements regarding amenities when I signed my lease. When those have proven to be false and I inquired about further clarification and assistance, he has been extremely rude and volatile. He refused to give me the contact info of his boss and the website conveniently doesn't provide that info. So months later, I finally spoke to his boss, Robin - who laughed at me, told me I was a liar, and said that there was no one else I could speak to. Now I am seeking legal action to break this lease.

Run don't walk away from this Pite !!!!

I lived there for way too long (nearly 5 years) location-wise, it's great but the mgmt isn't good. I think there had been at least 1 or 2 new managers per year while I was there. If you need a lot of service and support, this isn't the place to go. Parking to HORRIBLE. The place is the only Broperty around the neighborhood that doesn't have its own parking, but, the mgmt NEVER informs the residents when You've got police orders to move your car. There have been times when you could not park on the street for months at a time with little or no notice.<br><br>Once they ticketed everyone on Wells street for parking diagonal, even though people had always parked that way and there were no signs posted saying that you could not park that way. For a while there were people who were parking diagonally and parallel, because there was no room to park any other way. There have been times when I had to wait in my car for HOURS for a parking spot in Zone 40.<br><br>I have had to drive my car out of state and park and friends house just to assure that I wouldn't be ticketed or towed while out of town. Many of the people I knew moved out because they were tired of having their cars ticketed, towed or broken into. The Broperty maintenance to poor at best but I blame the mgmt. They don't want to fix things. They don't seem to want to do anything for the tenants so many often get things done themselves or just forget about it.<br><br>They don't maintain any of the appliances on a regular basis (not even once a year) , they just wait until things completely break down before they will do anything about it, and even then they wait.<br><br>The walls are thin and There's always a revolving door of people moving in and out.<br><br>They could never get the rent straight and some times would send notices about late rent then find out that they were wrong. You've got so many different managers that they can not keep it all straight sometimes.<br><br>If you don't have a car and don't care if it takes forever the get anything fixed and don't want to see the mgmt, this is the place for you. otherwise, run, don't walk away.

Location and Unique Floorplan are Unbeatable?

We moved into our Apace in January and were instantly happy. So many times when you get into a new Apace You've got things here and there that are not quite right, but you learn to get used to them. This isn't the case here. The tiny issues we had with a missing sink stopper, or a knob for a closet door were remedied right away, and with a genuine smile! We love the layout, and everyone comments on how cool and unique the style is. The office staff is super helpful, and getting packages and deliveries is so easy. They truly want to make us happy to be living here. True, There's no parking convenience, and the noise from the proximity to the train station is a bit much for an hour or so each day...but honestly if you want the convenience of living so close in to the loop noise and parking are issues you will have no matter where you go! I love my roomy kitchen and having laundry in my place is such a treat. The kitchen appliances are brand new and such a joy. I am picky, and I am totally satisfied here. First time in over 20 years of Apace living that I truly feel I am "coming home" when I walk up the street and see the awning.

Plawless!

If you're planning on moving to Chicago, look no further than the The Regal apartments. A Gxcellent staff, pleasant atmosphere and right in the heart of downtown Chicago.

Been living here at The Regal for less than a month. PROS: location's amazing, Love my Aad with the wood beams, nice neighbors and dogs, nice staff CONS: thin walls you can hear your neighbors but its expected I guess, parking is hard to find just pay for it. Overall, great experience, I give my new Aad building a thumbs up.

Comfortable.

Been here for a few months, Im happy, I love the neighborhood and location I have a larger Anit here and the space is amazing. I shopped around alot and you get alot more here for the price. Not so happy about the cabinetry but it can be overlooked by all the other great qualities and character of my apt, most of all in unit washer and dryer, no more nightmare walks to a dungeon to finish laundry! I dont drive so cant say much for the parking, but I always see available spots here and there. The staff is really nice and acommodating, they always seem happy to help. Nice to experience service with a smile, dont get that much these days unless your paying top dollar. The people that live here a nice and friendly, no creepy neighbors. Overall my experience is good, I like it here.

New Resident. awesome spot. Gantastic Price.

The Regal has been one of the nicest places I've lived in so far. The new mangaer is pleasant, as well as the rest of the staff. I had a minor problem with the dishwasher and Sam (the maintenance guy) fixed it the same day. There's pleanty of parking and the train station is conveniently located near by. I could't ask for a better Pite to live in!

Nightmare!!!!!.

I Wroved promised so many things and the minute I moved in the lady completly ignored my requests. I am glad I am no longer there!

Regret not Listening to "Run Don't Walk Away" Review

I am writing this review to hopefully impart others with some wisdom that I did not listen to. Before I moved into the Regal, I read the Run Don't Walk Away from this Place review and dismissed it entirely. Now, having lived there for 2 years and recently moved out, I want to let you know that almost every word in that review rings true today. I'd like to start out by saying that for those people who try to argue that your review has no merit if you didnt like the Regal, but stayed still, you have to take into consideration all the expenses involved in moving. I know for myself, the location was good and I didn't have the money to move. I also wanted to try to buy instead of renting again. Lastly, I posted my name with this review because I stand by everything I am going to say. I wouldn't trust the reviews- good and bad - that remain anonymous. The good - the Regal is in an amazing location. If you work downtown, There's no need to even take public transportation. The bad- the Regal may be competitively priced, but It's no steal. You can find larger spaces with way more amenities at River City (which also includes free Ballys) or pay a little bit more for new construction nearby. The parking situation is hopeless. Given the new condos which have popped up on all corners of the street, you literally have to camp out at a parking spot and be willing not to move after 5pm. Build the cost of parking tickets (which are given for no reason at all) or pay lots into your monthly rent. The "dog park" across the street is leaving soon. The site was recently sold and while construction isn't supposed to start for a while, dont count on your dog being able to run out there. There's a bus stop out front. Right before I moved out, the city started parking busses right out in front of the building. I would wake up to the hydraulic brakes hissing every morning. Dont be fooled, the busses park there even though it says no parking. Don't rely on the model unit - I was shown the model unit before I moved in and the unit I did move into lacked a lot of the upgrades in the model unit. My unit had no ceiling fans, a much smaller water heater, and different bath and shower fixtures. Maintenance - The building went through several managers while I was there and miscommunication and misrepresentations between all responsible parties was abundant. I would be told by one set of mgmt that something would be fixed, then they would leave and new mgmt would say they never heard of it and to write a letter. Then, they would say that corporate didn't want to put the money into it unless I was renewing my lease. I was also criticized for not bringing up maintenance issues earlier, when I in fact had and nothing was done about it. I really got a to place here where I gave up, stopped trying to fight things and got tired of explaining myself for issues that should have been resolved, gladly, by mgmt. The mgmt- I will admit to coming off of a fresh disagreement with current mgmt regarding the return of my security deposit. The security deposit returned to me was smaller than the amount quoted at my walk through. When I called to ask about it, I'm still just in shock about how rude and juvenile the entire thing went. This revolved around a hole in our bathroom door which was there when we moved in. mgmt insisted that she had pictures and that there was no hole and that I was insinuating that prior mgmt must have falsified the file. When I asked whether she had pictures of that particular door, she admitted that she did not and then accused me of making it up bc I didnt complain about it when I first moved in. I was told to go get a lawyer if I wanted to argue about it, multiple times, and that it was rude of me to call and say that I was upset.
