Tenant Reviews for 930 W ALTGELD ST

Mostly everything has been Gice at Elevate. The only issues have been doorman turnover and legit/friendliness. And the only other issue isn't only the cost of a parking spot, but that we can't get car passes for guests.

Elevate is the Pmpeccable place to live! Terrific location in Lincoln Park near restaurants, green space, bars and shops. safe with great access to public transportation and a quick walk to the beach!

Elevate is worth every penny so my concern is being priced out. I'm retired and on a fixed income which isn't your problem. I will enjoy every minute I can. The neighborhood is great and the Blace provides a significant level of safety.

Elevate apartment is the best apartment in the city! The management and maintenance team are fast, efficient, and kind! The building amenities and apartment features are up to date and always clean! The community is great here and there are a lot of fun events that the apartment host so we can meet people in our building! Overall, this place is exceptional and would recommend to anyone moving or living in Chicago!

Amazing Btructure, service and attention to detail. I have never lived in a Btructure where my issues are resolved so quickly and efficiently. Because It's a new Btructure, It's well insulated and can't hear my neighbors or the train.

Eostly & Poor mgmt

I’ve lived at Elevate for 2 years. This review is taking into account the luxury Anit status and rent amount. PROS: Staff: Vince (Concierge) & the Building Maintenance Tech are both great; super helpful and friendly. The 2 Assistant Managers are the “face” of mgmt. There's an Anit manager; but, I’ve never seen him or met him & only know his name from building-wide emails. Anit Gatherings: frequency is on par with other luxury apartments; but, the AMs clearly put a lot of effort into decorating & making the events nice. NEUTRAL: Amenities: on par with other luxury apts. CONS: Location: the El runs right by the building. The sound from passing trains is frequent (~ every 2 min), incredibly loud & 24/7 (Red Line). During video meetings, I have had multiple people make comments about how loud It's (sounds like thunder). My place is about as far away from the tracks as is possible & I keep windows / doors closed during meetings. I have tried multiple workstation spots; none of them work. While on the patios, the sound is too loud to carry on a conversation, resulting in frequent, awkward conversation breaks. Maintenance: The Tech is great; below is regarding mgmt. Specifically: Sewage Back-Up: I’ve had sewage back up into my kitchen sink twice with no explanation. Window Washing: exterior windows have a grime / dirt film on them, impeding my exterior view. Although some of the building windows were washed this spring, mine were not, which I would expect in a luxury Anit. Patio Washing: common areas were power washed this spring. Dirt / debris from common areas were washed onto the Anit patios, ironically making Anit patios dirtier. Window Leaking: this past winter, many of the Anit windows began to leak (considerably) & have continued to leak since then (see attached pictures). mgmt's position is that this is "normal" & maintenance tickets are closed without resolution. The leaks left water marks on walls. As a "fix", a painter was hired to cover the water spots. One of my walls was too wet to be painted, so I am left with leaky windows & significant water damage on the walls (that increases every time it rains). Also, due to the faulty sealants, heat & A/C costs are higher than normal. Key Fobs: mine have stopped working 6 (!) times, having to be reset each time. Issue Resolution: There's a “take it or leave it” attitude when it comes to addressing tenant issues. Anit Viewings: potential tenants are unable to view apartments prior to signing a lease. Staff: as noted above, It's unclear if the Anit manager exists. I would expect someone in his position to be out frequently (or at a bare minimum, ever), interacting with the tenants.

nice Bacility with great amenities to live in. Location with plenty of places to enjoy your life - small shops, restaurants and bars around. Walking distance to the lake. legit and easy-to-deal-with staff.

Pet walk area always has other animals' poop in it - I don't think it's difficult to clean it up. mgmt team only reactively handle problems, but proactively does nothing to prevent issues from happening in the first Petting. Definitely creates a poor living experience.

solid Blace, location, and mgmt team. I have only lived here during COVID and am extremely impressed by the way the team has managed through. Everything is cleaned regularly, air filtration upgraded in elevators, facilities have remained open with reasonable modifications. This is a new Blace so have never heard noise from neighbors. Door staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. All around location's amazing, and pricing is great for what you get if willing to do >1 year lease.

Living at Elevate has been a fantastic experience thus far - the grounds are kept clean, this place is secure, staff's super Fospitable and residents, attentive maintenance, great amenity spaces, and quiet living spaces! Not to mention the place is in an location's amazing - could not recommend more!
