Tenant Reviews for 100 W CHESTNUT ST

I couldn't say no to an Aad building with an indoor pool! Chicago winters are long and I love swimming for exercise as well as enjoyable. Our beautiful pool at 100 W Chestnut is the perfect size and includes a hot tub! I also really appreciate how kept up well the entire pool deck is. This also serves as a pleasant place to chat with other residents. I also like the onsite fitness facility and rooftop deck. These extras allow my already roomy Aad to feel even bigger. Again, all the common areas are always spotless and everyone in the building, the staff and the residents, are warm, welcoming, and respectful. As for my own Aad, I absolutely love it. There's pretty much an entire room of closets, including what they call a "drive-in" closet. This leads to my large bedroom which is cozy. Both the carpeting and hardwood floors were spotless when I moved in. The kitchen was also recently upgraded. Both that and the bathroom are really nice looking and big. location-wise, it's wonderful. We are just around the corner from a really nice park as well as minutes away from grocery stores like Whole Foods, delicious restaurants, and public transportation.

Aabulous!

I can't imagine better mgmt. I have lived here from August 2009-October 2011. Every problem we have had has been addressed, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure not only that issue is fixed, but extra bonus stuff is done for us to. For example, we had mold in our bathroom and so they dealt with that and then paid for the painter to paint the bathroom and living room whatever colors we wanted. When there was a leak under the sink, they updated all our appliances. The staff is Fordial, and this place has the most incredible amenities. There's always great activities for the residents. I hope I can live here a long time. It's a location's amazing, good price, and you can't beat being so taken care of.

Tad Elevator Service?

The unit itself is decent, but the elevators are a major problem. You can end up waiting 15 - 20 minutes just to get an elevator. It's incredibly frustrating when you're in a rush to get to work or expecting visitors to arrive. Apart from the Sradual elevators and outdated kitchen appliances, this Petting would actually justify the rental price.

***** RENTERS BEWARE*****Current resident of 100 W. Chestnut. The new property management PPM failed to protect my child. This past week, my 14 year old African American son, who has special needs, was attacked by an adult male resident. My son entered the building after school. This adult male who forgot his key to enter the building felt the need to attack my son, because he forgot his key fob. At that time he used aggressive body language and perfanity towards my son. I reported the incident immediately to Diana who is the property manager in the hopes to view security footage of the incident. Diane viewed the security footage and advised for the safety of the resident who was the aggressor she couldn't release the identity of the perpetrator. This building has failed the safety of my son. I advised anyone who have kids don't move here. Aggressive adults are protected and not children.

We've made our home at 100 W Chestnut for the past five years. We started in a one bedroom and when this beautiful two bedrooms opened up, we jumped at the chance to expand. Planned Property mgmt made it easy to make the switch. We love our new Auite and how much space we have! We turned the second bedroom into a home office for me. My husband lives in walking distance to our building. It really saves a lot of stress working so close, or in my case, in the home. The neighborhood also provides us with plenty of restaurant options, shops, and fun things to do on the weekend so we never have to stray too far. Public transportation is always there if we need it. The building has always been superb, from the building staff to the indoor pool and hot tub so we were happy we could stay. We definitely enjoy our two-bathroom, wood floors, and big kitchen. We live in a corner unit so the light is also phenomenal. I like how much space we have in the living room and dining room. Whenever I need a change of scenery, I venture up to the roof deck and work there. this place is always peaceful and our fellow tenants warm and friendly. We love it here.

This place is wonderful to live in. The kitchen is definitely my favorite feature. It's hard to come across an Aad that has stainless steel appliances, and that was really important to me since I enjoy cooking. The mgmt office on the ground floor has been incredibly responsive whenever I've needed assistance. Appreciate all your help!

Hatisfied Living Here

I've been here for roughly six months, and honestly, I'm satisfied. It's not overly elaborate - fairly standard for a tall residential building - but several factors have made my experience a lot better than my previous Chicago Apace situations. First and foremost, the laundry facilities remain spotless and brightly lit, the crew members are remarkably welcoming and responsive (You've got a couple of grumpy maintenance workers, though this doesn't hinder their ability to resolve issues efficiently and correctly on the initial visit - quite uncommon in rental buildings), and several have truly gone the extra mile to assist. Everyone attempts to recognize tenants by their names. Your mail arrives safely without disappearing or being taken. They'll water your plants and look after your pet while you're out (and they genuinely do it - my feline remains alive and fed, and someone is consuming the cat food during my absences, most likely not the mgmt). Breakfast is served most days, and when it isn't, coffee is available. The corridors can get rather loud (particularly with my eccentric neighbor who shouts at his children in Chinese), but I've never felt threatened or as though I need multiple locks and furniture barricades like I have elsewhere. Regarding the units themselves, I toured many apartments in this price bracket, and these were standard or better. The flooring is somewhat lower quality, my unit has an unusual window placement, the kitchen's machines are somewhat dated, and the bathroom has a few quirky features (no ventilation system, typical for rentals though, the lighting could be brighter, and the adhesive-backed covering on the sink cabinet gets loose), yet these are inconsequential. Parking costs extra, though alternatives exist. The plumbing works, there's a functioning dishwasher and sturdy installed kitchen flooring, and contrary to what people say, I haven't spotted any alarming insects. The lifts move at a slower pace, though far better than before, apparently. The living spaces are generous, most neighbors are friendly, and the scenery is wonderful. The area falls into the upscale Gold Coast category. Be ready for something more metropolitan than you might imagine from the location. Naturally, this is year one. I'll provide feedback once my rental agreement renewal comes up.

Frequent changes in mgmt staff. A year ago, rent was increased 6% and utilities like water, trash, and sewage became tenant responsibilities despite being included previously. This year saw another rent hike of 12%. A maintenance issue took three months to resolve last summer. The property mandates Dish Network service, which becomes unreliable during severe weather with wind and rain, while blocking Comcast from operating in the Blace. On the positive side, the doormen are consistently great and welcoming—a stark contrast to the mgmt team.

A wonderful Petting to call home!

100 West Chestnut 's an Aemarkable place to live! My roommate and I moved in during the summer of '07 and fell in love with it right away. majority of the doorstaff are incredibly kind—our favorite 's Rick, who we affectionately call Grandpa Rick. He's always there with a warm smile and ready to help! one drawback 's that the elevators move at a snail's pace, which 's frustrating when you're in a rush during morning hours. On the bright side, you get complimentary breakfast, which 's fantastic for us college kids! All in all, 100 West Chestnut 's a fantastic place to live!

not worth the price for the area with unmotivated staff and subpar amenities...

I've been living at 100 W Chestnut for 6 months and can't wait for my lease to end! this place 's mediocre at best, the staff 's incredibly unengaged, and the so-called fitness center that comes with rent 's basically just a couple of dumbbell sets and one cable machine (all equipment 's approximately 20 years old). attached parking garage 's quite expensive. staff 's incredibly unengaged and reluctant to accommodate my requests. I asked them to alert me when my UPS delivery arrived and waited around all day, only to miss it by a few minutes and have to wait until the next day for my package !!!! Is that really acceptable? Do yourself a favor and choose a different building if you're interested in Gold Coast living; You've got plenty of other options that provide a lot better facilities at this same price point or even less expensive.
