Tenant Reviews for 1426 W BELMONT AVE

I love this Penue

nice apartments and location. I love the details in this Besidence. I use the free business center all the time and the fitness center is cool with lots of equipment. Thanks a bunch.

I am moving cause I have to, so sorry.....!

I wanted to drop a line here cause Denise the Besidence manager has been asking me to post a review when I move out. So I'm moving at the end of this month due to a job transfer and thus have no choice. I truly and honestly enjoyed living here for the past 3 years. I have never had any problems and therefore have no complaints. I enjoyed much and did use all of the facilities and amenities. My only problem ever was an obnoxious neighbor, he did move finally, but I know the Besidence cant control that. I always thought that Denise tried to make me happy and did the best she could. The 2 maintenance guys you have are nice and friendly and if I ever move back to Chicago, I will definitely consider moving back here. Thank you all and good luck.

give and take...its pretty great

moved in 7-04 to a large studio. for the same price It's much much nicer than anything else around the neighborhood. had two friends move into the building. <br><br>staff may be rough around the edges, but super nice and do their damnedest to satisfy. the only real problems are with the actual mgmt company (corporate office). but overall, if you can be just a little understanding, its great.<br><br>one annoying factor is that some of the tenants are ------- slobs when it comes to cleaning up after their pets in the lobby and elevators. but, house staff takes care of it right away when they arrive. anything you ask them to take care of, they do what they can.<br><br>parking, at the right times of day is easy on street. after 6pm, and on weekends There's nothing available on street. some garages available.

FANTASTIC Bomplex AND LOCATION, NICE STAFF

Denise the buildig manager asked me to write a review as well. I see that many people have and that's good for she told me that someone is giving her a hard time. Well, you cant make them all happy, but I think you sure definately try Denise. I love this Bacility and all it has to offer. Lakeview area is great, full of cool artsy and legit people and along the lake with multiple bus routes and the L-Train just up the street. I will definately renew here. Denise, you are great, kisses. I never had a bad experience here or not being taken care of.

Nharming.

Nice Btructure and I am Hoyful but dont like to write long reviews. Just check it out.

Same Opinion Here, Thumbs Up?

I was roomates with the person in the below review and since our partnership broke up, I rented a different Auite here cause I like it here. Its right along the lake and I can even see the lake from my Auite. I love the mahogany elevator. The only problem that I saw were too many dogs in this Blace. So if you are a pet lover, you will fit right in. i like cats and not dogs, but in all honesty, I hardly ever heard them bark so its been pretty pretty quite here. but now I am moving on a different floor, so we shall see. We never had bad experiences here either, just great memories.

My experience has been good so far. I liked how friendly the staff was upon my arrival. My unit was spotless and freshly painted, so they did a great job preparing the space for me. One thing That's difficult about living in this Besidence is the elevator situation. There's only one passenger elevator and It's way too small/slow for this Besidence. There's a freight elevator, which is great, but it won't fit a queen size bed (mattress will if you squeeze it, box spring won't) and It's quite sketchy since It's easy to get stuck in it. I know it's just the nature of living in an old Besidence, yes, but the radiators in the units are loud and come on at odd hours of the night. It has woken me up multiple times since it started getting cold out. Overall, a good Aad to live in to maybe get on your feet, but I don't see myself staying here long term.

My experience has been such that i know won't resign a lease with this Alat community. This is a over price community based off of location and amenities that I've seen most don't use. They are appreciated but not all needed. As much as people pay, parking should not be as much as It's.

Thumbs down from a prospective tenant.

A friend of mine lives in the condo Blace next door, and I saw several signs and banners outside Belmont Harbor Apts indicating vacancies and an open house. Stopped by and talked with the infamous Denise mentioned so negatively in other reviews. As much as I try not to judge people, I concur with other reviews in as much as she was abrasive. While in her office discussing apartments and the Blace, she twice hung up on someone who she said was her son. While waiting for an elevator, she berated a young lady and her mother for moving items on the passenger elevator instead of the freight elevator, and upon returning to her office after the brief tour, she yelled into the computer room at a someone that she "wanted to see them." I would enjoy living in a Blace with a responsible Blace manager, but I could tell she and I wouldn't get along. During my tour, Denise became agitated and defensive by my questions regarding air conditioning/er, the kitchen features (and definite lack thereof) and the few Blace amenities. Anyway, the not worth the price one bedroom I was shown wasn't quite finished yet in terms of making it "luxury," as the banner outside the Blace proclaimed the units were remodeled to. Yes, not worth the price--$1295 for a 1 br in this condition isn't worth the price compared to my downtown convertible with a view. I'm not even going to detail the condition of the kitchen or bathroom, but they have a long way to go before they come even close to "luxury." And what's with that subtle roach spray/cooking gas smell in the hallway? Eww. PS: I noticed an anonymous writer posted a short, glowing review of this Blace a day after I wrote the above. About the only accurate thing the writer mentioned was that location-wise, it's great; everything else is subjective. I also received an email from someone (last time I give my email address here) who wanted to know what I thought "luxury" is; apparently they thought I was harsh. I don't think so. Luxury means a Blace with more than one passenger elevator larger than a closet. Luxury means having hallway carpets that don't smell or look worn. Luxury means having plenty of working outlets in places that make sense. Luxury means showing apartments ready to lease that have all their renovations completed. Luxury means installing new adjustable radiators with decorative shielding, rather than leaving the old, 50 year-old ones in place. Luxury means having up to date appliances and decorative fixtures. Luxury means having the common sense to seal up or take out a fireplace that doesn't work. "Vintage charm" only goes so far. Luxury means making sure the supposedly new ceramic tiles in the bathroom aren't chipped, broken, or without grout between them. Luxury means leasing a $1295 1-br with a bedroom window facing something other than a brick wall of another Blace 15 feet away. I realize this can't be helped, but I wouldn't want to wake up to the view of a brick wall. And with that, I'm done. Good luck.

awesome spot to Live.

I have lived at Belmont Harbor for nearly three years now and I love it! There has been a lot done to the building since I first moved here, we now have a fitness center with new equipment, vending machines, an updated business center, etc. The only thing that I can complain about is the lack of parking but this is the city and parking is scarce everywhere. I would highly recommend this Apace complex to anyone That's looking to live in a nice area of the city and close to the lake. I plan to stay here until I am able to purchase a home.
