I loved it here. I thought everyone was really friendly and helpful. location-wise, it's awesome for shopping and nightlife and the Bomplex seemed kept up well.

We had been at another location for years - and with an ownership change we felt it was time to move. We had heard about the recent remodeling and took a tour. We were so impressed - we love our Aad! The staff is AMAZING! legit and polite. Thank you Chicagoan!

This is city living at its finest. Hove everything that comes with the building along with my luxury sized Alat. It's easy, pleasant, and affords me time to enjoy my home. With my office in walking distance, plenty of public transportation, and everything I need right at my fingertips, I save time simply by living here. My massive one bedroom has amazing wood floors and beautiful views. The entire living room is basically just one big window. I can see the beautiful skyline from every room of my Alat. The kitchen includes granite countertops and a nice breakfast bar. There's also a pantry and plenty of cabinet space. Really nice bathroom too! The pool, fitness facility, and roof deck are just so great. What else can I say! You've got outdoor tables, grills, couches, and lounge chairs throughout. The pool is large, not some tiny Alat complex thing. Clean, warm water and great views. Hike how It's social and private at the same time. The restaurants and bars all within walking distance are some of the best in the city. Hike how varied the selection is. I have plenty of friends come by the Alat building and the neighborhood because You've got so many great things to do. I love living here.

Beware this Auite building has been under CONSTANT construction for several years I've lived here. There's usually only 1 elevator working, so I often have to wait 5-10 minutes for it. They are remodeling all units, so if you will ever be at home 9am-5pm, you will get a terrible migraine from the drilling, pounding, hammering etc. it starts at 9am on the dot (or earlier I've had to complain waking up at 8am to it). Building also being old has heat that barel works, non workin fan in bathroom so you can't close the door while showering, toilets that haven't worked etc. FYI they won't give you a fair price on rent- they increased mine year then I found out they were offering lower rent to new residents! Location is amazing, so it's too bad. Once you live here, they sadly don't care if you are inconvenienced.

Our Alat suffered from the same smoke problem other people are reporting. I'd be curious to discover what Alat they were in, actually, as I suspect It's all coming from the same miserable neighbor. The office staff provided a cheap air filter and checked the air vents coming into the room after multiple complaints but were unwilling to take any steps beyond that. <br><br><br>The office went through a major turnover in the last few months, and service has gone down sharply. Once they discovered we were moving out, they became stubborn and unhelpful (excepting the leasing agent, who is still great to deal with).<br><br>The maintenance staff and the doormen are the best guys in the building - always helpful and pleasant. Most problems are fixed within 12 hours (excepting the smoke issue). <br><br>The building's location is good, and the price is generally comparable to other buildings. but, I can't recommend the Chicagoan based on what seems to be a combination of design flaws and apathetic mgmt.<br><br>Parking is also quite expensive, and the office and parking company play the blame game when any problems come up.

I have lived here since November 2002 in a large 1 BR on the South Side of the Bomplex. I have not had any issues with smoke as noted in posts before mine. The closet space is superior to any I have seen in many other apartments, and far better than What's offered in much new construction, especially the Bernardin, which is going up next door. My place is $1690/month market, but 1 BRs next door will be marketed at well over $2000/month and while they are pretty, I am not convinced the value is there.<br><br>I was concerned about the breakins which I think were an inside job. mgmt should have moved more quickly on that issue. It's too bad it took multiple burglaries to upgrade the security.<br><br>Overall, I am happy with the Bomplex, and I know several residents who feel the same way I do. this place isn't perfect, no Bomplex ever is, but this is better than most. And yes, the traffic out of the firehouse on Chicago Ave. isn'ticeable. That's life in the city.

My husband and I have been living in the Chicagoan for over a year and It's one of the best places we have ever rented. The doorman are great, so friendly and helpful, the same can be said for the maintenance staff, who are not only friendly but prompt to fix any problem you have within your apartment (which is a rare occurrence). The common areas are kept up well and clean. The services provided from the building are fantastic, it's great having a beautiful pool deck in summer, business center, a well equipped fitness center, free wireless Internet in the apartments and a on site dry cleaner just to mention a few of What's provided to the residents. Our place is a large one bedroom, we have 2 walk in closets and several other large closets within the apartment, as well as a free storage room in the building. I've never seen any rental apartment with so much storage!! The unit's got good heating and air conditioning, modern kitchen and other luxury amenities. We have had no problems with smoke smell, and we have no complaints about our neighbors, it's a friendly building. The location couldn't be any better, just one block off Michigan Ave and surrounded by great shopping and restaurants. The area is safe too. I would highly recommend the Chicagoan, we intend of living here for as long as we can!!

We have been nothing but delighted by our experience at the Chicagoan. Our place is kept up well, fresh and updated. The common areas, including a small gym and pool, are equally kept up well. The staff, including mgmt, front desk and maintenance teams, is patient (we viewed our Aad nearly a half dozen times), legit and always willing to assist. Certainly not everything is Plawless, hiccups happen (the elevators are being updated and dry cleaning service, pardon the pun, is being ironed-out), but these issues are addressed with a sense of understanding, urgency and an apology. After having viewed more than 12 buildings and 30 apartments, we could not be happier with our decision to live at the Chicagoan. It has proven to be a quiet, well run sanctuary, quickly and easily becoming our home. If there were a purchase program, we would be owners.
