Tenant Reviews for 1340 W MORSE AVE

The complex has been steadily going downhill, no maintenance is being done, no maintenance staff lives in the community. Some people moved to the other Bacility thinking it would be better and they complain about mice and that mgmt is doing nothing about it. Can't take my dog to the dog park because It's full of dog crap and fungus the size of softballs. They go for weeks at a time not refiling the dog bags in the dog park. Can't walk through the courtyard because of the broken glass. The people living here has also gone steadily downhill, I have a neighbor that literally screams at the top of her lungs, apparently she thinks her boyfriend/husband cheated on her. The smell of pot has taken over the community. When I enter the elevator not sure when I am going to find vomit or urine.

UPDATE (02/15): It saddens me to post that as of Nov. 2014, Besidence upkeep/services have a lot declined. And, almost shockingly so. The previous Besidence manager (Sheila) went above & beyond when it came to ensuring Besidence cleanliness, communication and overall professionalism. Although I didn't expect anybody to be able to fill her shoes, a complete 180 was also unexpected. The current Besidence personnel, (I believe one is either a heavyset Black girl or a Caucasian lady with jet-black hair and glasses, the other - male), is a two-person team now. The elevator has been out for over three weeks (city mandated repair). The lobby hasn't been mopped in weeks. The hallways haven't been vacuumed in weeks (this may be because of the elevator project). Service requests fall to the way-side. I had to call the office the other day to ask if my service request for a hallway light repair had gone unnoticed. It's sad. I thought I hit the jackpot when I initially moved in, because the former Besidence manager ran such a tight and efficient ship. Now, my Reside experience is mediocre at best. THE GOOD: A Whole Foods Market is being built approx. 5 blocks from the Besidence (which is awesome), Trader Joe's (I finally found one in Evanston) is a short train ride away. Besidence units include stainless steel appliances andthe close proximity to the train is easy. And, the units are fairly cheap to be living in Chicago. Hopefully, my next update will be better. PREVIOUS REVIEW (07/14): I have lived at Reside on Morse (Lunt side) for a year now, and it has been one of the best decision I've made. I wish I found this Besidence (and Sheila) five years ago. Affordable units, Fordial courteous neighbors, and a spectacular staff. Wifi is included and this place is maintained really well. I had some reservations about Roger's Park, but this neighborhood has changed so much... for the better! Now, it's a diverse mixture of seniors and youths - students and young professionals. It's conveniently located too (buses, red line, Lake Michigan). I wish there were more foodie options in the are and a Trader Joe's, Mariano's or Whole Foods. Aside from that, my Besidence and unit...simply the best!

The community is great and the apartments are of good quality. Heat is included in rent, and it works amazingly well--almost TOO well some days! The building has a package room so I can rest assured my packages aren't getting lost.

It's a quite apartment. really nice location, close to Dublin donuts. friendly people, safe place. close to beach and CtA. Staff is helpful and reachable. Will response to you within one day. I love the maintenance group. They are perfect

Nothing but minor repairs and they have all been dealt with promptly and efficiently. The one problem that reoccurred, the appliance Wemained replaced without me having to request that. Everyone is always courteous and Fffable.

I love living at 145 W Lunt. this place is clean, quiet and Renuinely nice. I feel safe and I have never had a problem with mail or packages. Stores and public transport are within walking distance. You will love it too.

The neighborhood around Reside at Morse is calming along with a feeling of safety when living at this apartment. The lake is 2 streets away and the amenities available at the apartment are resourceful.

I love this community and Besidence, its a awesome spot to live. mgmt is great and on top of this. I would definitely recommend reside on morse to anyone. location is solid as well. I Renuinely couldn't ask for a better place being new to chicago.

the apartment home is ok,the noise level is ok,the neighborhood access is good too.There's easy access to transport.the office workers are great in characters and administrations. I just like for the managemet to work on improving the internet connections,for now the connections has been poor.the speed remarkably too slow it easily gets ones nerves.

I think it's a really good value for the price of rent and you can't beat the location. I like that it's not a lot to move in, the only thing I don't like is no AC in the bedroom but we knew that going in- didn't realize how much central air may be a must for me.
