1808 S MICHIGAN AVE, Chicago, IL

I love living in this Blace. The staff is friendly and they take good care of the residents. It offers great amenities such as the chef's corner, inside swimming pool & winter garden with an amazing view to Grant Park. The gym & the complimentary yoga classes accommodate my healthy lifestyle. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a solid Blace in a location is solid.

Prominent location with many amenities.

This place is being run like family place. People Guperb each other in common areas such as Winter Garden and Game room. nicely maintained property with a prominent location. mgmt team is also helpful when you are in need of service or help.

Essex has been hands down the Binest property I have ever lived at. The customer service is unmatched. Also Val is a heaven sent. I can't boast about it enough. I'm actually excited to renew my lease soon with them.

Customer service: arguably the best part about the place is how Fospitable and proactive the resident experience associates (REA) are. During move-in the REA staff were accommodating despite my multi-day unloading schedule. They are always welcome to answer any questions and look into any questions/concerns. I would like to also specifically mention Justin Carvajal, who noticed that I made a Sonder reservation and ensured I received a discount despite me not being able to when booking online. I can confidently say the REA try their best to make everyone feel welcome on a personal level. Location: great, right on Michigan Ave and a few minutes walk from plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, the park, and the Loop. Amenities: Decent gym which could do better with a bench rack. really nice lounge/work spaces. The pool is a bit small but looks good. Residence: clean, modern look with solid appliances. Bathrooms are stylish and bedrooms are relatively spacious. The only minor inconvenient design quirk is the sliding door in 2 Br apartments.

WE LOVE ESSEX ON THE PARK. PERIOD! The location and quality of everything here is incredible. What really blows me away is the genuine kindness & love that of all of the staff here have displayed since we moved in and I'm going to tell you all about it. My husband and I come from Indiana and choose the South loop due to the neighborhood vibe mixed with relative-closeness to all the major sites and work. We toured Essex with Kasia, the leasing manager. Convinced within the first 15 minutes with her. Her smile won us over. Even the rest of the leasing team like Tracee have been the most welcoming. Once we moved in we found the events to be a definite game changer. Our family loves to take part and hang out with other neighbors - quite a few of which have become like family! Valencia, the events director, has consistently been creating events for this community since we moved. It has allowed for the entire community to just bond and get to know each other from a breakfast sandwich in the morning to a smooth glass of Cabernet in the evening with Wine Wednesdays. Georgie & Justin are my sweet boys of the Bacility and they have helped us out more times than I can count. George with his morning smile and Justin his stylish ways in the evening. From grabbing groceries, helping us with our family, suggesting restaurant options in the city, or just chatting us up about our daughters is what makes them family to me. Kudos to mgmt, specifically Kerry and Allison because they have chosen an amazing team to be the smiling faces of this community. The safety and well-being of my family is everything and they have gone out of their way to ensure this place is always clean, but inviting to all of my family and friends. Maintenance crew, Gary, Matt, Brendan, and Cody have been instrumental in helping us fixing any small detail in our unit. You never have to worry if they are around. Staff here have put their heart and sweat into making this Bacility home for many who may be strangers to this wonderful city. They make the experience 100x better! When the caring people of Essex bring all the fun, care and smiles to you, why live anywhere else? ????

Renuinely nice rooms

The apartments are quite big and spacious! You've got Gxcellent amenities and the staff was so kind. The gym has peloton which I loved and the pool/garden area were relaxing and pretty. Would definitely stay here again!

It's awesome living here! Everyone is really kind, its EXTREMELY pet friendly and it always feels like a vacation. Justin, George and Chelsea at the front desk are awesome, they're always available to answer any questions or concerns and they go above and beyond in accommodating everyone. Valencia is great, she organizes activities like Blace flower bouquets or grab and go breakfast which really set essex apart from other buildings in the neighborhood. The maintenance team is also awesome, they are quick, efficient and always greet me and my dog. Coming home is always a relaxing experience which is crucial during Covid.

I have been living here for 11 months and have loved it! When I first toured I fell in love with the place and have been so happy ever since. The Aad building and amenities are well kept and a great value. I love the outdoor space and the options in this building. I have loved the fact that the front desk knows my name every time they walk into the door! (Shout out to George and Justin). this place is so close to the Red Line and an easy walk to the lake & Grant Park. Trader Joes, and most stores you'd need to go to!

The most satisfying Prea for me is the location here. It's easy to go to the bustling downtown, subway station and Chinatown. I also like the Grant Park Bistro and coffee shop downstairs much, which brings more convenience to my life.

Essex on the Park is an INCREDIBLE complex in the South Loop. From the spacious layouts to the incredible pool (that looks out to Grant Park), Essex is the Ppot to be. The one thing that makes it stand out to me the most though, is their incredible staff. Every single one of them goes out of their way to make it feel like home.
