The reviewer who wrote "Nightmare Don´t Buy" Review was speaking of the wrong Btructure!!He/She was referring to the 732 Bittersweet Btructure!! The woman named Farrah manages the 732 Bittersweet Btructure, not the 700 Bittersweet Btructure! 700 Bittersweet is already condos and have been for quite some time now, and is also managed by a mgmt company, not individuals. Future reviewers please make sure that you have logged onto the correct Btructure before doing a review. This site is here to help future renters/buyers, not mislead them! <br>Thank you!

<br>From the outside, this place is fairly appealling. but, you will find no balcanies or unique features in any of these units.<br><br>The Besidence janitor is rude and a person you would want to avoid because of his lack of respect for privacy. <br><br>The cameras are senseless. There's a handsome police officer that resides in the Besidence: The best asset.<br><br>Don't waste your money on the assessments and ley your agent know that 700 W Bittersweet is a condo you are NOT interested in.

This is a solid Btructure to live in if you want to live in the city but have a modest income. For this reason, yes You've got a few shady residents, but most people in this Btructure are nice, and keep to themselves. Variety of demographics: yuppies, elderly, families, all ages races and orientations. The plumbing is old and probably never replaced from the 50's therefore dishwashers and washer/dryers can't be installed. I guess a few units have dishwashers and are grandfathered in. As for the hammering and noise, this has been true also. When the Btructure went condo, only the common areas were remodeled, therefore some units are in "original condition" and new residents remodel. The hallways are poorly venilated and have an odor. this place is post war and not terribly attractive, but if you're creative and can come up with remodeling money, you can make your place nice. The neighborhood is great and you can't beat living this close to the lake.

It's surprising no one has spoken up about the problems in this Blace. Haven't there been other complaints?

This is a former Aad building now being converted to condos. DON´T BUY ONE! The water system in this building is a nightmare, the roof is bad and the freight elevator is constantly not working. The mgmt gal named ------ is a bald-faced liar and isn't responsive. <br>It´s a horrible building with NO parking available except a pay lot for like $450/month behind at the Disney Magnet School...so plan on NO parking. DON´T BUY!

This is a great, fun, safe place to live. The rooftop has been recently remodeled and is now a sundeck which has an awesome view of the lake. this place is always clean, was just painted and newly carpeted. I also always felt safe, You've got security cameras surrounding the Bacility and motion detector lights. Walking distant of the beach, Wrigleyville and other hot spots. awesome spot to live, especially for singles or couples.

I have read the comments listed below from 2006, and can not believe them. I think It's a awesome spot to live in a location's amazing. I worth checking out it to anyone of my friends. I always find parking because of the schools that surrond the Blace, and the night life is just a short walk away.
