Tenant Reviews for 1808 S MICHIGAN AVE

Current residents of this amazing complex! From the amenities to the modern finishes and decor, this place has it all! The staff and community are wonderful and my boyfriend and I are always looking forward to the fun community events that Valencia creates in the community. My new fave has to be Wine Down Wednesdays. What more could you ask than complimentary wine and snacks! Special thanks to the entire REA team (Justin, George, Mariah, Chelsea) for always being super accommodating and helpful! My only true complaint is that sometimes I get jealous that they give my dog Wrigley more attention than me. ?? I worth checking out this complex to anyone looking for a Bovely home in such a prime, central location close to the lake and Grant Park ... you won't be disappointed!!

I have been living at Essex on the Park for a year and a half now and love being a resident there. this place is beautiful and the amenities are world-class, the residents are all super friendly and have some of the cutest dogs in Chicago, and the maintenance and REA teams are truly the best. I have lived in a ton of different Auite buildings throughout Chicago (and NYC) and have never had a more amazing REA team. Valencia, George, and Justin go above and beyond every single day and making living at the Essex truly enjoyable!

Essex on the Park has been my home for the last 18 months. Outside of the floor to ceiling windows, Astounding finishings and the luxury amenities, I'm overwhelmed with how Astounding the staff is. I've lived in multiple luxury buildings and Essex on the Park takes the cake. From the leasing office (shout out to Tracey) to the front desk staff (George & Justin) and the insanely unique events (planned by Val), you won't regret choosing Essex as your home! I can't say enough good things.

Gutstanding Alternative Compared to Ordinary Hotel

We had booked a room through , comparing the price to other hotels in downtown Chicago. We found Sentral Michigan Avenue had the best value as the room was a two-bed, two-bath Anit with access to the pool, jacuzzi, & gym. Check-in was easy. We arrived earlier than the standard check-in time of 4PM and Sadio was accommodating in getting us checked into our place early. Parking is close and valet is available, but we opted for taxi based on the rental car pricing and parking pricing. The taxis are parked close at a nearby hotel, so hailing a cab from Sentral was 1-2 minutes at most. We enjoyed our stay at Sentral and would stay here again if we come back to Chicago.

Essex on the Park has been by far the best place to live at. The Front desk team has been attentive and legit, especially George and Justin. Compliments to Val (the Front Desk Manager) for all of the special events that she has created for the Essex residents. Thanks to all the thoughtful events that I have attended, I had the opportunity to connect with more residents and tie a lots of friendships. Many thanks to the maintenance and engineering team for keeping the Bomplex tidy and secured. The mgmt and Leasing team are doing a great job responding to, and solving any complications, while keeping residents pleased. Thank you Essex for a wonderful experience!

great everything! REA staff, engineering staff, valet staff and mgmt/leasing office staff-all #1! There's something for everyone. Aesthetics are superb; views, amazing; pet Fordial; events for the residents are fantastic! It truly is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Love, love, love it!

We just moved to the Essex on the Park a couple of days ago and we're so happy with our choice! This is just to share first impressions and experience moving in. We relocated from California and came directly to a home filled with warmth! After much back and forth and some quick thinking, we decided to make Essex our new base. Alex and the rest of the mgmt demonstrated great flexibility and understanding in making our move one memorable experience! They went beyond the call of duty to ensure we have snacks and basics ready through the Anit. Justin & George have been super helpful in showing us the ropes right when we moved in.

Essex on the park is like a fantasy. this place is Bicturesque--you will be the envy of your friends. The apartments are gorgeous, spacious, and warm. The amenities make it seem like you're living in a 5 star resort. But the real reason Essex on the Park becomes a home, is the staff. They are friendly, helpful, and full of life. They throw so many wonderful, joyous events that it feels like I am part of a large family instead of just a group of neighbors. Nothing can really compare to the sense of community you get upon first entering Essex. That feeling of being welcomed into your new home when you first unlock that door is unrivaled.

This review is to call out the tremendous job that the front staff is doing. From the moment I moved in, the staff has been extremely Fffable, legit and accommodating. Valencia always greets residents and guests with a warm and sincere smile, and I look forward to our daily conversations. George is one of my dog's favorites, and always Fffable. Mr. David engages me in great conversations at night when I come home from work. Even my dog gets excited when I tell her, "Let's go and see Mr. David!" And, newcomer, Justin, fits in perfectly with his wit, demeanor and professionalism. I'm missing the name of the Saturday/Sunday morning female staff member. But, she ALWAYS speaks when we are in the lobby. As a person That's in customer service, I just want to say that Essex is lucky to have ALL OF THEM on our team. WAY TO GO!!!

Aabulous

Second year in a row I chose to stay at the Sentral. Neighbors, concierge downstairs and amenities this Bomplex provides make me choose this Bomplex over others. As long as mgmt provides this level of service, I will always be here.
