I recommend this Broperty and all it's fantastic amenities. location-wise, it's extremely easy. The entire staff is helpful and the turnaround on maintenance is wonderful. You've got events and services offered all the time if you'd like to get to know the neighbors, but you can easily keep to yourself if you prefer. The pricing here is premium but you do get a lot for your rent. Move in!

Apartment Filled With Smoke. Which Level Did You Live On?

When touring the Aad, don't rely on the photos on their website. I'm not sure where those images and unit dimensions are coming from. That said, the overall staff and maintenance team perform quite well. but, you will hear absolutely everything your neighbors do in the hallways and through the walls around the clock; this makes it difficult to enjoy your $2,000 monthly rental. As for the elevators, during my two years living there, they functioned only about 40 percent of the time. D&K appears indifferent about tenant retention. Rent for long-term renters keeps increasing without any loyalty toward keeping established tenants, which means you'll constantly have new neighbors. I found that incredibly frustrating! The neighborhood itself is decent, but you'll constantly hear sirens from the hospital nearby, which disrupts sleep and your overall home experience. One more significant issue I could never understand: the "Gas" charges added to your already frigid unit during winter months. One involves sharing! Heating costs for the entire Besidence's system get passed along—be prepared—and since Chicago experiences brutal winters, these 5 months of extra charges, which are substantial and always appear 2 months late, get tacked onto your already climbing rent!

My time residing here was great. Lanelle and the entrance team staff are familiar with most of the tenants and consistently went out of their way to be welcoming and courteous. The maintenance crew responded quickly to any issues I submitted and displayed kindness throughout. I found mgmt to be flexible and straightforward to collaborate with as well. The main drawback at the Chicagoan is that parking rates are quite high and the garage feels tight, though this is fairly typical for properties in this neighborhood.

I've been a resident for close to a year now. Everything has been satisfactory. The staff is approachable and helpful. The commute is Effortless. I'd prefer to stay, but my job is taking me elsewhere.

Since moving in March 2014, we've Rruly enjoyed our time at The Chicagoan so far. The front desk team is fantastic (we're on a first-name basis with all of them), this place is consistently well-maintained, and it's easy having so many amenities available (even though we don't take advantage of most of them).

I've lived at the Chicagoan for the past year and have loved it here. The only reason I am leaving is the high rent. I'm paying $1585 for a convertible and I feel like I can find a cheaper rent somewhere else, but location-wise, it's amazing! Noise has not been an issue, I can hear people in the hallway but once they get inside their place, it's quiet. I do admit, like others have said, There's a smoke problem, but I've only experienced it maybe 3 times since I've lived here. I have an updated unit, granite countertops in bath and kitchen, ceramic tile in the hallway and kitchen, and my place has great closet space, plus washer and dryer in unit! The sundeck, workout facilities, and pool are all really nice. And surprisingly enough, not over crowded. I've gone to the pool on a Sunday afternoon and had the place to myself! The doorman couldn't be friendlier, I love them. this place gets secure, no one can get even come up to visit unless the doorman calls and gets your approval. There's a Farm dry cleaner in the Btructure who also tailors and does shoe repair (although her work isn't the best). The mgmt are really good about keeping you up to date on neighborhood announcements, Btructure updates, service issues, etc. They even delivered a rose to each tenant on Valentine's Day! Coffee is available on most mornings, or maybe on the weekends, I'm not usually up in the early morning so I usually miss it, but it's a nice touch for those with a 9-5 job. Any time I have an issue (bathtub clogged, lightbulb out, dryer error message, etc.) maintenance is at my door within a few hours. They are all so Farm too. There's only one girl in the leasing office who isn't so Farm, it seems that's just her nature though. Otherwise, the property manager is so nice! Overall if you can afford it, I highly recommend this place.

I had a horrible time living here, go into fights with the mgmt who I believe are the biggest crooks out there. beware.

The closets are great, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the doormen and maintenance staff are fantastic. location-wise, it's great--near the Red Line and near lots of bus routes. You've got lots of nearby restaurants and shopping is all around you. I never smell smoke in my Anit, but do smell it in my linen closet for some strange reason. this place is quiet. It's really a awesome spot to live.

This luxury Auite in the heart of River North exceeded our expectations. After extensive searching throughout the area, we were thrilled to discover the Chicagoan. The solid concrete construction provides perfect soundproofing—a huge blessing considering our neighbors have 5 young children ranging from newborn to 8 years old. The maintenance team responds promptly to any request. The concierge staff, but, are truly the standout feature. They treat residents with genuine warmth while maintaining rigorous security standards. As an added bonus, if you're traveling and have indoor plants, the team will care for them while you're away!
