Tenant Reviews for 4550 N WINCHESTER AVE

The apartment they offered me was a mess. Nothing was actually replaced from the last resident that moved out, and it was a handful of things wrong with it. I would recommend turning it down it's not worth it. The least you could do it see the apartment before you sign the lease (like me) and be one the lucky ones that's not stuck with it.

If you want to experience what it is like to live in a mental hospital or insane asylum, live here. There is a resident in the south tower with a mental issue that screams obscenities at all times of the day, starting at 5:30am, often for hours at a time. It's very loud and echoes off the buildings and down the block, disturbing the entire neighborhood. I've complained to management but nothing is ever done. This has been going on for months.

Corrupt as hell. From crooked maintenance people taking bribes and security peroms sexually harassing female tenants and guests to property management people exorting tenants in what they described as " fees" for everything from garbage disposal, security issues, or having maintenance fix something in the aparments this place is far from a decent place to live. Infiltrated with drug addicts, drug dealers and prostitutes. So bad that under cover police were discovered as planted as security officers in thee building. Shortly after this several of the drug dealers and users got arrested and put out. Not worth it.

A hidden jewel on the northside of Chicago.

Lakeview outside look very nice, but inside the apartment need alot of work. Lakeview Tower Apartments is unclean and is infested with roaches, maintaince fail to fix apartment that need emergency work. People are very afraid to speak their mind due to managerment and the tenant association. The management manager talk down to people and fail to greet his tenant as he see them as well as the tenant associate president. The tenant associate president help people of his own decent and refuse to help the tenants in the building. This building need to come together and help each other inside of judging people

I was concerned at first about this apartment complex due to the rumors and negative review left here at this site. But for the affordability and location, I was willing to take the gamble. And I can honestly say, I do enjoy living here. The management has been friendly, helpful, and responsive. And the maintenance and security crew has been as well. The only minor issues I had on a couple of occasions were children being a bit too loud in the next apartment or hallway, but those were minor issues. Other than that, it's been surprisingly quiet for such a large complex. When I first arrived here, the first thing I looked for was cleanliness. And thankfully, when I first walked into the building, I noticed right away this is a well kept place. And when I first arrived to see my apartment, it was ready and in move in condition. I was VERY pleased! So I call this place a hidden gem because of it's affordability, cleanliness, and great location (near the park and lake)...And add to this the 24 hour security guards and friendly neighbors...I can't help but call this a hidden gem.

THIS BUILDING IS TERRIBLE TO LIVE IN. IT IS A PROJECT BUILDING! IT IS ROACH INFESTED THE ELEVATORS DON'T WORK. YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE DRUG DEALERS THAT ROAM THE BUILDING URINATING IN THE HALLS AND STAIRWELLS. THE SECURITY THAT IS SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THE TENANTS ARE SLEEPING WITH THEM!THERE REALLY IS NO STRUCTURE THE MANAGMENT IS NOT DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT THE BUILDING IS FACING, THEIR ONLY ISSUE IS IF YOU OWE THEM MONEY. THE BUILDING IS FULL OF LOW-INCOME BABY MOMMAS WITH LOTS OF CHILDREN THAT BRING THE BUILDING DOWN.
