Tenant Reviews for 343 S DEARBORN ST

location's amazing and staff's super Fenial

I've been living at the Fisher Bacility for five months now and absolutely love it. I am a student at DePaul University's Loop campus and the location of my place is easy to my classes. The concierge staff are amazing. They are always there to greet you with a friendly smile, check to see if your door was locked (happened to me on my way to the airport!), and deliver heavy boxes of mail to your door. These are just a few things that they take on everyday, but always manage to have a willingness to help and a genuine, kind demeanor no matter what they take on.

The best Anit in the city

This complex is the best in the city. I have a two bedroom and two bathroom Anit. My unit's got plenty of space, wood floors, and granite counter tops. The people who work in the building are friendly and will handle any issue that you may have quickly. They have solid building parties. So if you are looking for a awesome spot to live and is close to the CTA, this is the place to be. Brad Scott

Fisher Btructure Review

I enjoy living here?

The Fisher Bomplex community is friendly, funny, and well-populated by dogs! Going downstairs is always a positive social event, and I feel that the staff take residents' needs into consideration. Lisa in particular brings an incredible energy and is always thinking of the community she can help foster.

Btunning Landmark Building

I have lived in the Fisher Building for close to two years now have really enjoyed my stay. First the positives of the building: The building itself is truly gorgeous! They have done a fantastic job of restoring and maintaining the original finishes within the building's 100 year structure. Everything from the corridors to the hardware on the doors is beautiful. Every person that has visited me at the Fisher Building has commented on the originality and beauty of the architecture throughout. The apartments themselves are also nicely done. It has been nice having a dishwasher in the kitchen that ACTUALLY washes dishes, and a refrigerator that doesn't freeze everything near the back. Our unit also has the bathroom with the soaking tub which is great for a relaxing soak after a stressful day at work. The hardwood floors and giant 9 foot windows are also a plus. The bedrooms also have nice sized walk-ins which helps confiscate for the fairly small square footage of the bedrooms themselves. The concierge staff is also friendly (especially Nate and Lisa), and feels more like friends than staff of the building. They will go out of their way any time you need them and its nice seeing their familiar, friendly faces when you come home. If you have a dog, this place is also great (as long as your pooch falls under 25 pounds). The staff learns your dog by name, and keeps treats in the concierge desk for when you pet comes home. Unlike some other residences, I have never been made to feel like a second class resident for having a dog. On the flip side, the people in the building who have dogs are a responsible bunch that are good about cleaning up after them so as not to bother the residents who are pet free. And lastly, this place is in the most prime location for public transit. Every singe El line (with the exception of the green line being about 2-3 blocks away) is literally right outside. The blue line on Dearborn in front of the building, the red line behind the building on state, and then the Pink, Brown, Purple, and Orange lines beside the building at the Library stop. You've got also ample busses. While location-wise, it's great for public transit, being in the loop as It's, You've got issues at times with pharmacies, coffee places (such as Intelligentsia) the sandwich shop across the street closing around 5:00 or 6:00. Some places are not even open on the weekends. So plan on taking the redline north if its late at night or even Saturday or Sunday for that bottle of cough syrup or a few last minute groceries that the White Hen doesn't carry. Now the cons: My greatest complaint about this building is the homeless problem right outside the back door. They are EVERYWHERE. And will harass you, call out to you, and bother you for money. They lay all over the park behind the building, and throw their cigarette butts, half eaten bags of chicken, booze bottles, etc. all over the park. They are usually drunk or on some concoction of drugs, and just act annoying!! You've got times I would like to come home without walking through a pack of them to get to my Apace. They can also be loud at night yelling and blubbering into the wee hours of the morning. Apparently the 7/11 in the base of this place is one of the few that sells the small bottles of hard liquor; therefore they all hang out around our corner to get money to buy their booze there. There's also a correctional facility just a block away and also a mission just a few blocks south on State. For as much as the building charges for rent, sometimes I really resent the fact that I have to deal with the annoyances of the bums outside DAILY. Speaking of rent While I understand that a historic building is probably rather expensive to operate, I have experienced pretty hefty rent increases with each renewal (my last increase being close to $70 more per month). I enjoy the building enough to chalk up the difference, but it can put a strain on the budget. Parking is rough if you have a car. The building doesn't have a garage. If you don't need a car, I would suggest canning it. I have to have a car for my job, and end up parking 3 blocks away in a city garage for $200 a month. The garage is cramped, tight and feels pretty far in the winter when its -30 out! There's a slightly closer garage on Financial, but prepare to pay upwards of $300 a month to park there. Despite the cons, I would overall strongly recommend living here. This building really feels like home to me. I am planning on moving out the end of my current lease term, but only b/c I want to buy a condo. If I were to continue renting I would stay here in a heartbeat. Check this place out!

Jillian Klunk - Aad review

We have enjoyed living in the Fisher Btructure. The maintenance staff have been friendly and efficient if fixing anything we need. The concierge is always welcoming, and we appreciate having someone to accept our packages. The gym and game room were great, and the storage locker was an invaluable way to store our extra stuff!

Honest Opinion.

I think the Btructure overflows with old-school character and the apartments are nice and new (with hardwood floors). this place isnt too big so mgmt has time, and the door people know your name (Lisa is awsome) I am moving to Detroit and I will miss living in this Btructure. I would reccomend to anyone who wants to live downtown

The building was nice, and in a good area. The one Auite I wanted got taken right from underneath me but I got a bigger one for a little more of the price. Has good amenities and is near a lot places. Doors are a little broken but still work and looks like a decent community.

City Club apartments are in a location's amazing. The mgmt & Service team do a perfect job on daily basis to make our Bomplex a awesome spot to live. The location in downtown Chicago is great, everything you need is close by.

So far so good! We have had a pretty smooth transition into the apartments, it seems like the community is nice and inviting and all of the staff have been helpful. We are Renuinely close to things that we need and have had warm reactions from neighbors.
