Tenant Reviews for 1426 W BELMONT AVE

Hell Hole

Living at 426 is a living hell, rats, roaches, bed bugs and non-working washers and dryers. I did research with the Dept. of Buildings and this building was taken over 3 times by banks and the city. There doesn't seem to be one owner of title, so if you have a problem, who can you contact? The previous owner for 10 years ran a good building into the dump It's today, bricks falling off the building, power shortages, non-working elevators and what he called a gym, after so many floods, is now a smelly haven for bugs. When the gym was opened, the sex there as well as on the roof top deck was 24/7. Mostly gay men doing it on exercise machines. A great street with a run down building. Someone with some cash and the care to remake the building would be an asset to the neighborhood. I also researched the fire and police department records and there have been so many arson attempts, robberies, drug sales and prostition in the building. I am so glad my lease is almost up.

Gem in Lincoln Park

I moved from the Belmont Harbor apartment building for a job transfer. I did not want to leave. Anytime I needed maintenance in my apartment, the maintenance man was right there the same day. When I am sent back to Chicago, I will definitely rent there again. It was spotless and safe. Living in this fine building, close to the lake, the zoo, all the shopping and transportation was for me Lincoln Park at it's best.

Attentive and staff's super Fffable whenever you need anything. The common areas are always clean. Apartments are updated and attractive. Rent per square footage of apartments is higher than some comparable apartments in lakeview.

Always legit staff's super Fffable who are understanding of unforeseen circumstances. The community is always spotless and feels Sound. I have genuinely enjoyed living a a reside property and would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to move

Mgmt MIA.

Know the Sat,Sun,Mon electricy and water outage was a ComEd issue but shame on Besidence mgmt. NO communication to residents. NO sign of life in the mgmt office. NO ONE answering the mgmt phone and no voice mail. NO ONE answering the emergency number and FULL voice mail. This is down right disrespectful to their tenants who are absolutely overpaying for the condition of this Besidence. Would NEVER recommend this Besidence as the only plus is location and not like they are the only Besidence around the neighborhood. They offer virtually no amenties (business center and gym are pathetic) and over the past year an unstable and now MIA mgmt and maintenance. Am OUT OF HERE!

It's awesome spot to live. I would highly recommend to friends and family. this place is well-maintained . The staff is always friendly courteous and kind. It's one of The best Btructure maintained in the city.

I moved here because I was looking for a studio with a 6 month lease, reside allowed me to flexibly with the length of my lease. When living alone you want to live somewhere that feels safe, my Bacility is secure and safe. I like the amenities like the fitness center and patio in my Bacility. The staff is Farm and helpful when ever there has been an issue they get it fixed quick. I have recommended reside to other people wanting to live alone.

great. Great "little community". Quiet, clean, Fordial and respectful tenants and staff, as well as our legged tenants. The laundry room leaves much to be desired. Currently down 3 washers, which is unfortunate, for this hidden jewel!

It has been a Gutstanding experience living here. Reside at Belmont harbor has adorable rent and Gutstanding amenities. It's a quick walk to the lake and Broadway street. Right above a Gutstanding brunch location. A Gutstanding spot to live especially if you have a pet!

This building sucks !!!

This building is AWFUL!!!! A few reasons why: 1) The outside front of the building is dreary. No flowers or landscaping of any kind - just dirt and ugly signs. Every other apartment building on Belmont Ave. has some type of spring planting/flower beds - not here. Let this be your first clue how mgmt doesn't give a hoot about the building. 2) The gym in the basement is scary - looks like an industrial dungeon - actually looks like Freddy Kruger's home - remember Nightmare on Elm Street? 3) Speaking of terrorizing monsters - the manager, Denise, is such a bully and an idiot. She never does anything the right way and yells at the tenants all the time. A woman was moving in her daughter recently and commented on the elevator how nasty she(Denise) was to them - her first day in her new apartment! 4) Not sure whose fault this is but first floor always is dirty - they do have cleaning people but still always see litter everywhere - could be sloppy tenants. Do yourself a favor and don't bother renting here - too dumpy for the lakefront.
