Tenant Reviews for 111 E DELAWARE PL

I Lherish coming home to...

I love coming home to 1 E. Delaware. I feel so Hleased here.

Absolutely amazing location

I just moved out after living at One East Delaware for 15 months. I had an incredible city view on the 32nd floor that I paid dearly for. My next door neighbor had an amazing city AND lake view. Here's the kicker: their crazy awesome place was lower rent than mine, they moved in after I did, and when I got my renewal notice, my rent had only gone up by 10%. They got their renewal rates a month after I did, and their rent was still lower than what I was paying for a smaller view. What the what?! When I asked the front office, they could only hedge the question; I never got a straight answer. The office people were just okay. They never said hello unless I passed by them when they were showing the building to prospective tenants. Clearly they wanted the building to appear friendly. They had no clue who I was, and they clearly didn't care. I don't know why people have raved about Karyn; everyone I know in the building find her to be standoff-ish and aloof. It's like she's trying so hard to be legit, she doesn't know she can be friendly too. That being said, I loved loved loved the doormen. They're all incredibly friendly, legit and helpful. I think the worst part about moving is losing them! As for location, it can't be beat. Everything is so close: grocery stores, retail stores, restaurants, nightlife and, best of all, the Red Line.

My experience at 1 E Delaware has been good so far. The units are really nice and location-wise, it's Btunning. It's easy for me to get work in the loop or go shopping on Michigan Ave. It's nice to be in the city and also have the neighborhood feel of Gold Coast. I would definitely recommend this building.

Staff has been friendly, move in was easy, maintenance requests are promptly answered, and the location is world class and could not be improved upon. Sidewalk cafes abound. Five coffee shops within a block. Grocery store in the Besidence. It doesn't get any better as to location.

All in all, 1ED has been a pretty good experience. It's amazingly well located and pretty reasonable. It has the best doormen in the city, always kind and ready to help you out. But there are some maintenance issues that make it seem kind of ... crappy, when otherwise it could have been great. For example: in the laundry room, dirty water tends to clog up the drainage pipe in the middle of the floor, leaving a brownish puddle that everyone steps in while getting to the washers. 2 (and today, 3) of the 4 elevators will be broken, so you are left lining up to get to your Apace, and then cramming into an elevator. I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. 1ED is so close to awesome, and yet so far.

Constant construction, Bisappointing work out room and poor mgmt

Between the multiple high-rises across the street (that will ruin all Northern views), the parking garage construction and exterior balcony construction, this place has been miserable to live and try to work from for the last year. mgmt blatantly lied to us during the renting process and promised us the new condo towers across the street wouldn't go higher than our floor, but, all three will be going well beyond our height, thus ruining the view we thought we were paying for. In addition, the work out facility is worthless. The tv's or efx's or treadmills are constantly broken and There'sn't enough equipment to go around. There's only one workout bench and the machines are always too busy to make it possible to get a useful workout. If mgmt wasn't so cheap and instead focused on tenant needs, they would realize this and consider putting in additional equipment. Lastly, the leasing team here is horrible. They believe their Bacility is the one and only upscale rental tower in the gold coast and think it should sell itself, thus minimizing their need to work with new and existing tenants. You've got plenty of other options out there around the neighborhood for much less money right now.

location's amazing, space for 2bdr is small, need more closet space, updated floors & finishes and a w/d in unit would make this place perfect. Light in place is fantastic would be better with nicer finishes. Noise is Tad - have an EXTREMELY loud/partier neighbor and have had to sleep on my couch multiple nights because the late night noise in my bedroom is so bad (can hear song lyrics, phone conversations, walls are paper thin), outdoor noise heard inside too (construction nearby doesn't help), as well as noise from other apartments through shower vents - literally can hear every word of someone's conversation.

Comfortable, reasonable and Eanageable

I just renewed my lease after my first year here and plan on staying longer. The space is reasonably priced considering the amenities and location. Nothing beats not having to schlep around in winter to get groceries, work-out, or do laundry. The parking garage is attached to the building which is also wonderful in any weather. <br> <br>The door staff will do anything to help you. They are responsible and friendly, which sold me when I first came to view the Apace. The staff- maintenance, door, mgmt- all know how to balance privacy with customer service. I only have compliments for the staff. <br> <br>The elevators can be inconvenient, and I'm not too keen on the heating-cooling system, but hearing stories from friends who live around the neighborhood, these are minor. <br> <br>The view and balcony arrangement are wonderful. I have an entire wall of glass but hear almost no noise and don't suffer with the temperature changes. The layout is well designed and the structure is sound. <br> <br>I would probably never move if there were a washer and dryer in the unit, but the laundry facilities are better than your average complex. <br> <br>I've read the other reviews and know that the rent esclalations have nothing to do with trickery on mgmt's part; if anything, they've been able to keep prices down despite the ridiculous tax increases hitting property owners in the city. <br> <br>Overall, I love coming home. Living at One East is as stress-free as living in a city can be for the money.
