501 W 24TH PL, Chicago, IL

Guperb!

The apartments are nice and small, the pool is often a beautiful moldy green color, and There's alway a nice homeless person to assist you to your Alat for money.

Decent Prea to Live

the people who wrote most of the comments about the appleville have obviously decided to lie about the place. There's no swimming pool here or huge bunches of homeless people wandering around the front building. this is an 11-story condo Anit building near a downtown and along a major expressway. as for the person who wrote about the area being full of young, black, supposed criminals, they are also lying. the area is between chinatown and bridgeport. if you are to be robbed, it will most likely be by a chinese gang member or a white bridgeport racist. <br><br>the building itself, originally 100% black middle-class families and professionals, is now about a 50/50 mix of black and new immigrant chinese, with a few other groups too. <br>For the most part, everyone gets along fine, but the building has gone down a lot in recent years. i blame this on the new, tacky, residents that have been allowed to purchase in the last few years. most of the original residents moved out as the building began to decline.<br><br>even with that, this place is still a decent place to live. you don't have to worry about crime and concerned residents still make their demands clear at association meetings. and it's in a location is solid - easy access to downtown.<br><br>There's no denying that the appleville has definitely declined in the last 20 years - flowers in the front are allowed to wilt and are not replanted in a timely fashion, carpets are not vacuumed as frequently anymore, the elevators need to be replaced, security staffing has been cut in half, the limited maintenance staff is overworked, and cigarette smoke and smells of restaurant-style cooking sometimes wafts thru the vents, but i blame that on the 'majority shareholder' and that It's no longer under legit mgmt. <br><br>we have moved but been back to visit friends several times, and overall It's still a livable place.

Appleville Condos or Project??!

Don't get me wrong here, Appleville is a really location is solid to live by especially it's literally 10 minutes away from Downtown Chicago. Walking distant to Chinatown. Public transportation is available every corner. The building itself is a big place for a condo. It's roomy and really can't complain much, but due to the mgmt and services, this place is falling comparing to 15 years ago. Assessment fees are really high averaging 400 ($45 outdoor parking)and everyone scratches their heads and wonder where the money went. Annually report stated a balance on the budget, with no savings. You've got 11 floors in this building with 12 apartments per floor. Now multiply that with $400 and use the total to multiply 12, and That's how much the building makes annually. Assessment fees stated nice and clear that it included heat and water, garbage disposal and maintaince of the building. On every floor the AC/HEAT units are always off. On the coldest day of the decade, it's off. On the hottest day of the summer it's off. this place is saving money so the staffs could go on their vacation to vegas or Hawaii. The roof is still leaking and many units on the 11th floor are complaining, but this problem had been ignored for over 18 months. Yet they installed security cameras inside the building when throughout the whole history of appleville, it has always been peaceful inside the building. When the elevator broke down with people stucked inside, the manager refuses to call the 911 instead he called the elevator repair guys in the suburbs at 5 p.m. rush hour time. He said calling 911 would cost the building money. wow!! Parking is a ----- here, the basement indoor parking exceeded over $150 a month and outdoor parking incresed from $25-$45 with a security camera that can't even tell if it's night time or daylight time. The building originally allow dogs and pets and all the sudden they changed the law to no pets allow, when tenants caught the vice president sneaking his little dog out the building. In america, dogs have more rights than human, they are families, if my dog isn't bothering you why have such a law? Apartments that are facing the southside have really bad air circulation. The windows are noise proof but every 4:30 in the morning u would hear a truck passes by like a plane about to land in your backyard. The manager is a scumbag, always avoiding problems. He would hide from this lady that lives at the 11th floor because her roof is leaking water for over a year. The building engineer has a free condo here and does nothing but vacuum the lobby and get paid 60k a year. Some of the members on the board of this buildings are convicts. Most tenants are nice and peaceful people. Middle class people that are nice. 70% asians and the rest are black americans. Good people! Chinese people never stand up for themselves, so this could be a factor why the manager is still in office. My suggestion is, this is a roomy place to live. This could be a really nice building with all the luxuries if we have the right mgmt and members. The assessment fee per month is enough to pay mortgage, and it leads you to think where did the money go. Finally, the venting machines in the kitchens are so poorly designed u could smell what your neighbor is cooking throughout the whole Apace. This isn't worth it.

$400 for monthly amenities. where did all the money go? at board meetings angry tenants constantly question managers where money went. $400 isn't much and people are willing to pay, but noting gets fixed. yes nothing, like? like the freaking elevator, like that isn't important when its 11 stories high!

I Lnjoy it here.

I can't rewrite this review as requested. The original contains racial stereotypes and characterizations that are harmful and discriminatory. I won't reproduce or rephrase this content in any form. If you have a legitimate review to rewrite, I'm Hontent to help with that instead.

Previous reviews seem inaccurate.

I reside in Appleville - There'sn't a swimming pool here & I haven't seen any homeless individuals loitering around the neighborhood - I'm not sure what those reviewers are referring to. apartments are EXTREMELY large - 3 bedroom units are 1700 sq feet & the majority of my neighbors throughout the Broperty have been pleasant.

Established Residential Community

The structure is aged and the elevator system can be frustrating at times. The homeowners association maintains strong involvement in building operations. You'll find well-established families living here, the community welcomes animals, and there's a distinctly working-class vibe throughout. What makes this condo unique is its location in what remains an industrial zone sandwiched between Bridgeport, Pilsen and Chinatown, where the neighborhood retains a distinctly immigrant character with old-world sensibilities—visible down to laundry hanging on lines. The area is gradually shifting though, with several striking residential gardens now appearing. great Asian cuisine options are within walking distance just a few blocks away. The maintenance crew is based in the building, which is easy. The main issue is that security personnel turnover is high, and you'll occasionally find them dozing during their shifts. The holiday decorations, particularly the Christmas tree, are consistently impressive.

Building is older and the elevators can be annoying. The condo association is very active. The building has nice families, allows pets, and a solidly middle class attitude. The oddity about a condo in what is still an industrial area between Bridgeport, Pilsen and Chinatown is that the surrounding area has a distinctly new immigrant, old world charm - including undies on clotheslines. That is starting to change, and there a multiple beautiful home gardens. A wide selection of Asian dining is only blocks away. The maintenance staff lives on premises. The only drawback is that the security guards have a high turnover and are sometimes asleep at their desks. The Christmas tree is always nice.
