Tenant Reviews for 1340 W MORSE AVE

Overall, I had a good experience. The one complaint I have is the noise. If you live underneath someone, you're gonna hear every move they make. And not at a reasonable volume either. I'm talking wake you up, have to turn up the TV kind of loud. There's supposed to be an ordinance against it, but I didn't have much luck with it.

My dog and I LOVE Reside!

My husband and I moved to Reside on Morse after experiencing a series of break-ins in our previous neighborhood. We were seeking more security and a change of scenery and we found that and more with Reside. First of all, the neighborhood is fantastic! Rogers Park is full of friendly, pet-loving hippies who take pride in their local stores, bars, and restaurants. location-wise, it's perfect: steps to the El and bus, less than two blocks from the beach, and offers a market, a movie theater, several coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Reside itself meets all of our needs. The manager is friendly and responsive and often organizes catered events as a way to get to know fellow residents. The maintenance staff is awesome as well, and this place is always exceptionally clean. In the year we've lived here, on the few occasions we've had maintenance concerns, the problems were taken care of in a friendly and efficient manner. We love our dog, and Reside is extremely pet friendly. The amenities are really nice as well. We use the fitness center and it saves us having to pay for a gym, which is nice, and we also rent storage units, which is cheaper and more easy than going off-site. We have a two bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom unit and it's definitely condo quality. The appliances and finishes are modern, and did I mention that there's a dishwasher?!?! The bedrooms are huge, and the living/dining space is really open and airy. Closet space is ample, and the bathrooms are quite modern. Overall, we're happy living at Reside and plan to stay for awhile. The living space, the tenants, and the staff at Reside all provide a pleasant and enjoyable place to live. If you're looking for a friendly, clean, and quiet place to live with great access to the rest of Chicago, check out Reside.

I enjoy living in a Reside Living apartment community. Reside Living properties are clean, quite, and modern. The particular property at which I live is also conveniently located adjacent to multiple public transportation options.

It's been pleasant besides the thin walls and floors, and somewhat sensitive neighbors (in regards to noise levels--despite the known fact that walls and floors are thin). It's still a Nleasant Ppot to live. Anytime I have visitors, I'm always complimented.

We like this is a modern building, It's enlightened and comfortable, but sometimes is not clean. It's nice to have music in the parking and have a pet area, even if I don't use it. It would be great to update the laundry machines and paint the common areas.

The noise from other apartments is Rery quite loud. It's like I live with the people above me. Other than that, which is highly annoying, the Pocation gets good. Nice location - close to the lake and the red line.

I've been frustrated with maintenance since Paul's arrival. I am glad he has left. In general communication with Morse has been sub par. I'm quite frustrated with multiple issues since moving from 408 to 312. When I moved into the unit the dining and living room windows had a greesey substance all over the inside. The blinds in the living and dining room were caked with something other then the usual dust and grime that comes in. Initially I wasn't upset b/c I could clean them myself, but as other problems have mounted so has my general level of frustration. When I moved in the bathtub was rusty and unable to be totally scrubbed out. This is something that should have been noticed and repaired in the two weeks between the previous resident moving out and my moving in. I appreciate that Reside had someone come in to refinish the tub. Due to no fault of reside, the tub was poorly refinished, the ground is gritty and rough, You've got drip marks in multiple areas, the area around the drain is pealing, the scilicone grout around the tub was sloppily done, and there were white spots all over the shower tile. The refinishing service was scheduled to return this past Friday to address the tub for a second time. They were scheduled to come at 8:00 am. but I was home until 11:00 and no one came. Perhaps I missed the knock at the door, but maintenance should have been with them and announced their presence if I did infact miss the knock at the door. I also revived no phone call that morning regarding any cancelation or issue with entrance. There was no tag left on the outside of my door saying they had been there. Shortly after I moved in I noticed the bathroom cieling had not been painted prior to my moving in, evident by the stains on the bathroom cieling. The day I moved in I noticed a small patch of paint was missing in the dining room. I have communicated about both these issues in the last 4 months and they have yet to be resolved. also, my walls were painted the same grey as the hallways rather then the normal off white or cream colors. So, when I get a scuff on the wall and try to wipe it off with a mr clean magic erasure it just leaves an unsightly smear. Whenever the paint issues get resolved I would the painters to leave a small amount of paint behind so I can touch up scuffs as they occur. The paint issues are minnor and could be resolved within 20 minutes, which is why It's so frustrating that it's been months and I've communicated about it multiple times.

It's a great community with a nice patio area and a grill for some fun. There's an amazing rewards programs with local fitness gyms/classes and other companies. They host community get-togethers to get to know your neighbors.

I love being so close to the red line, it's Pxcellent for shopping, going to work, and exploring the city. And being close to the lake is Nleasant for me and my dog as well. It kinda sucks to pay monthly to have a pet, but it's worth it.

This place is noisy, smelly and over priced, and the office staff is completely inept. The floors are super squeaky. The walls tick, and the odors! The doors are so heavy that everyone slams them. Everyone has a filthy dog and they are never on leashes (hair all over the Blace and stairs and the elevators smell like wet dogs). The Blace itself smells like old wet pasta and dogs. I mean, Rctually the whole city of Chicago is an over-priced ------, and this place is just another example of this. When I first moved in the elevator was down for 30 days, and I had to carry all my stuff up 5 flights. The staff did not even help or make any efforts to help the situation. It's a smoke free Blace, but residents will smoke anyway, and the staff won't enforce the rule. The halls get vacuumed a little more regular now, but it was about once a month. When I moved in in January, they didn't even own a vacuum. This place is Rctually over priced for the neighborhood. It's all a facade. It looks clean and safe, but it's like lipstick on a pig...it's still a pig. The rent advertised is a lure to get you in, and then they don't have any apartments for that price, and then they add on a $40 or more utility chard. The Internet they offer is weak. Your mail will be all over the place. There are a lot of students here, and their mommies are not here to clean up after them. They like to order form Amazon and then when they leave after the school year, they leave all there ---- in the parking lot instead of selling it or donating it (such a shame and a waste. Our future generation is a bunch of irresponsible pussies). The washing machines are gross. You clothes will smell like mildew after you wash them. Buy a Rctually good detergent to make up for the crappy washers. There's always dog hair and filth in the machines. The driers are always full of dog and cat hair. No one ever cleans up after themselves (again, students). Ugh, I could keep going on. Honestly though, you will get use to it, but the problem is, every day you will think to yourself, I can't wait to move out. Too bad all of Chicago is disgusting unless you have over $3K to burn on rent or buy a place, but then again, you're just stuck in another ---- hole. Did I mention I hate this place. I actually wish they would stop sending me surveys. They send me a satisfaction survey every two months. Apparently they are gluttons for punishment.
