Tenant Reviews for 4180 N MARINE DR

STAY AWAY, IT'S A DUMP AND RANY MANGEMENT SUCKS ALONG WITH THE OWNER AND FAMILY. PLUS THERE IS LIKE 3 LAWSUIT.

I bought here in 2006 and love it! The management could be improved, but the location is great, has an awesome roof top and nicely updated units (granite, SS appliances, hard wood, etc). They just updated the hallways and it's made a huge difference.

Great place to live. They are continually upgrading the building and have plans long term and short term so there is always something new. The last improvement project was all of the hallways they look new and beautiful. The neighborhood has everything you want and it is very safe.

This building is a failed condo conversion. It is a disaster as far as the common areas. Several foreclosures run down basement laundry room. The cook county online court records show 2 cases pending on Rany Management the property management company on the court docket one with Coin Mach and other Dreamer Realty Inc. It's public record. I you rent from a owner I would research what happens if owner goes into foreclosure and what your tenant rights cover. Personally I would stay away from this train wreck. It has also had 2 robberies in the least 2-3 years again public record. It may be cheap but keep this in mind. Hope it helps.

The building has nice location, great views from the rooftop and friendly maintenance staff. The building staff, however, and the condo board, are ridiculous. They fail to plow the driveway (parking is underneath the building) and my all-wheel drive car slid back, while the garage door closed on my car. I immediately notified the building and didn't hear back for weeks. Upon speaking with people directly and follow-up emails, I was sent a letter from the board president (who clearly hoped I'd simply go away if ignored) saying they were not responsible for the issue. This has been an ongoing issue. This building's management and board will do anything to cover themselves- and they simply don't look out for you- especially if you're a renter. The ceilings are paper-thin and you can here everything your neighbors do. There are far nicer, classier buildings with far better staff and management in this area. I can't wait till my lease is up.

Moved finally after seeing nothing improved the place is definitely stuck in the 1950's green carpet in the hallways, elevator broke all the time and the basement/ laundry room is just plan scary. The values have dropped one just sold for 63k, 90k and one for sell 99k. I feel sorry for the owners their investment is gone after paying 165k and up! The management is okay just plain, unprofessional and lack of really caring about the owners. The bare minimum. Seems like a mom and pop style management company. Good bye Polo Tower. I will miss the residents. So many of them have moved out and rented their places out because they can't sell them. It's gotten scary downstairs and just a dreary sad building. You have to pay a non refundable pet deposit which is laughable considering the nice green 1950's carpet in the hallways I believe is the original and I have no idea where that money goes? Check out this websites zillow.com, trulia.com, manta.com, goggle building also loop net.com the person(s) owning a large number of units has it listed for 13 million or $156k average a unit it's been for sale 13 months but the values have dropped so low in this building one sold for 63k to 90k a short sale for 128k last March. It's laughable the buildings down the street and across have great lobbies, workout rooms, nice hallways, pool, tennis court..... And surrounding properties are selling well but not in that building check it out!

I rented here for a year and purchased a unit it 2007. The building could use updating which is in the works. Such as hallways, basement, exterior. Overall, management company is very responsive and helpful. For the price and proximity to the city this is your best lake front living! Large Dog Friendly, no violent dogs allowed.

I have lived in this buidling for 13 years. The cheap factor is the only thing that has kept me. I gave notice that I was buying in December and would be out my May/June. I am just waiting for a closing day. The Main office did not return my call and is making me pay a full months rent for 6 days of living here. Very unprofessional!!!

The building has so much potential but unfornately the property is very run down. The laundry room downstairs is having water and mold issues. There has been 3 or 4 foreclosures and short sales in the building. There is also 83 units for sale for 13 million why? I am not sure. I would not sign a lease in the building based solely in that not knowing what is going to happen. Its in a great location close to transportation just really sad the property has come to such a poor site.

Bewared the laundry room is in its last leg its been slow breaking down for over a year ceiling cracks water and now it smells like mold. The management company has done nothing it is like section 8 housing!
