Tenant Reviews for 2101 S MICHIGAN AVE

maintenance sucks. I can't wait until my lease is up. Garage celing is very low and does not look safe.

While looking for apartments during my move, I took the opportunity to visit 2101 S. Michigan Apartments. I elected to to pursue tenancy, but thought I would share what I felt were the positives and negatives of the complex: Advantages: - Nice location in a neighborhood that has no where to go but up. You're 10-15 minutes walking from Soldier Field and dozens of other restraunts, bars, etc. As an out-of-towner, I was impressed. - Free Parking & Free Heat - Staff appears to be friendly - Rent prices are reasonable Disadvantages: - Interior of lobby, hallways and units are in bad nead of a facelif. Carpeting is old, drywall/spakle is exposed on some walls, lighting in hallways is dim, and most units or other facilities have a very dated feel. - No significant in-unit anemities other than stove and fridge. - Closets of several units I saw could not open/close properly. - Views of downtown are obsured in some unit by the larger complex on the block north of 2101. Summary: If strong interior qualities is not a must in your list of rental requirements, 2101 can amount to a decent deal. You can't beat free parking (especially in Chicago), location is good, and the rent is reasonable. Unfortunately, the state of the interior just ruined the experience for me. The building is about ~40 years old, but it will look ~80 years (in a bad way) when you first step foot out of the lobby.

We've been living at 2101 for a year now. The local is perfect, next to chinatown, the red line and the loop. The other renters are easy going and nice. We've never had trouble with noise. The rent is cheap and the view is great. Its true that the elevators are really slow, but apart from that I have nothing but great things to say about 2101. This apartment is on the razors edge of near south side gentrification and is a steal if you are willing to bear through the over-long application process.

I have been living at 2101 S. michigan Ave. for about a year. The location is great, the people in the building are really ------. the elevator has not been working properly for about a year. the inside of the lobby needs work. if you are interested look else where
