Tenant Reviews for 808 W VAN BUREN ST

If your into a frat type atmosphere with constant maintenance issues this place is for you. The last 18 months were some of the worst. Constant maintenance issues, weird "art" that could only be described as offensive and amenities that are constantly full. Also the building is unsafe as now two times the building had an attack/break in inside the garage however security is only on site between 5pm-8am. Management is a joke, they only look out for the best interest of their bottom line... the buildings marketing is all influencers that don't even live there and they are welcome to come to the building with all their friends and take advantage of the amenities that you pay for. The last 19 months including the following: 1- there is no service elevator so make sure you furniture isn't too big, we had a custom couch we had to return. 2- we had a flood that leaked through half the building and it took over 2 weeks to clean up. 3- the garage door And gate is constantly broken which lead to two attacks and a robbery (bike stolen). 4- according to management (---------------) the owner is too cheap to add adequate staffing for security and janitorial so the poor cleaning lady needs to clean up every morning the frat style parties that occurred the night before. honestly every neighbor I spoke to is miserable and can't wait to leave, it was depressing to live there to be honest, keep your expectations low because you will be constantly disappointed. Run far far away.

Currently live in this building. Owner is cheap and you can tell they cut corners. Building looks nice, but it's not a place you would want to live. They market this place like it's the Ritz Carlton but it's far from it. Watch out for buzz words they use like boutique and luxury...this place is far from it.

Based on my time here at the Van Buren. The staff has been awesome, the amenities are great, the neighborhood feel is really catchy! I love it here!! Thank you to the staff at the Van Buren they are really awesome as well!

Same issue for 2 months, they are nice but we just want our issue resolved. Other items are starting to slip, smoking on the roof by multiple people, walls scuffed up and not touched up, elevator always has protection up instead of just when people are moving in. I expected more in a luxury boutique building and felt slightly cheated. Its a shame because its such a great place and location. I hope it changes for the better soon.

Great building and location, would recommend to anyone. This new building, like many others in Chicago, somehow finds justification in overcharging for a utility package instead of allowing tenants to pay on their own.
