Tenant Reviews for 1111 S ASHLAND AVE

NO!?

Apartments are nice. But That's it. I am tired of being sexually harassed by the security guards. You've got LOUD parties and securitiy does nothing. mgmt is a joke. rude. Cars are towed after 10:00 and You've got never any visitor passes available. but the same people seem to get visitor passes. Was told You've got only 4 visitor passes for a 200 Auite complex. Ad is misleading. No basketball court, pool, play area. Nada. The tennis court is a joke. Been here one year which enough for me.

Gonderful apartments but Twful mgmt

I subleased an Aad at Circle Park and had a hard time dealing with the mgmt/leasing folks. The Aad was good but the mgmt folks were not good at returning phone calls, only one person works on your application and only they respond to your questions (my agent was on leave for 6 days and no other person in the office was willing to help or answer questions). I would avoid this Penue!

Unsafe area and mgmt rude!!

The apartments are nice but in a terrible place. Its loud outside, with people trying ot look into your house and sitting around on the streets drinking and loitering. <br> <br>mgmt is extremely moody and can be unhelpful. The place doesn't feel safe at all and security is almost non-existent.

Townhouses are great!

We had a 2-bedroom townhouse that was fabulous for the money and the location. Great closets and enough cabinet space in kitchen. Could use more counter space, tho. Washer/dryer in unit. (If you ever lived on the clique North side and paid loads for a closet size apartment, this is a palace.) mgmt was always helpful. Not snooty yuppie type tenants - a great mix of working people. <br> <br>Shortcomings are that the Sedgwick & Harrison buses don´t run on weekends and taxi´s are scarce. Also, Yellow Cab tends to blow you off if you call - the drivers´ are scared and/or ignorant of the neighborhood. Also, cars parking in lot with stereo´s loud - usually on weekends and not for too long. <br> <br>I´d rent here again in a heartbeat.

terrible place, unsafe, seems like a ------

terrible place to be in with a family, service doesn't exist. security doesn't exist. We have got mugged within the building and the mgmt did not seem at all concerned about it. <br>

It's ok?

It's not a Treadful place to live. It's definetly a lot better from when my roommates first moved in. I moved in recently and they have been here for about 3-4 years. They told me it's a lot better than it used to be. It's in the middle of a safe area and a bad area, depending on which way you walk. You go down toward taylor you are safe cause You've got always cops on that street. You go towards Roosevelt, well, thats where the slums start and a lot of the bums are, not the safest of areas. And the place is directly in between these two streets. So overall, I feel safe cause I don't go toward Roosevelt often. The parking here sucks big time. To get a pass is like pulling teeth if the car isn't in your registration. Guest parking sucks too cause you need to get a pass which You've got limited passes. The noise level is always low for our Anit, i think the walls are built really good, cause even in my Anit I rarely hear my roommates through the doors and walls. Don't know anything about security or maintance. The halls can produce a lot of odor, depending on whats going on. Some people smoke pot, so it smells like pot, sometimes it smells like cooking. It's not that big of a deal consdiering I am in the halls for like a minute. Other than that, I feel it's not that bad of a place and a decent price. As far as excitement around the complex, There's none, but who cares, Taylor Street has tons of bars if you're old enough, and if you are a UIC student Campus is only a 20 minute walk and a 5 minute bike ride. As far as heating, it's work honestly great, we are in the middle floor so we rarely use our heater, and our air conditioning is only on for a short while and then it's quite comfortable. The staff is friendly, but the policies are somewhat rediculus. It's a pretty good place for cheap.

I stayed there for the summer. And during that time, I lost my package more than 5 times. My personal order from Macy or other stores reshiped the items and I was fine. But my friends who shipped his items to my house without informing me and without telling the tracking number in time lost his 1000 dollars value items. And I paid him 700 dollars in cash yesterday. First of all, It's a shady places. Second, I smell drugs in hallway. Third, uneducated kids played Leafening music at midnight for thirty minutes or even one hour before anyone show up. When I called the service they would say they can't do anything. The mgmt is poor. The neibouhood is uneducated. Even You've got Nleasant people there I still had a heartbroken experience.

This place isn't bad

The mgmt staff has been great to me and so has maintenance. The security guards are nice and the Townhouse I live is nice. The kids in the summer do get on my nerves, but that's the only drawback As my chilren are grow. I always have a parking space and I have never had a problem with the other tenants.

Lousy, Wretched, Nasty, Flimsy and mgmt is Corrupt!

I lived there as long as I could. This is a MIXED INCOME HOUSING development. There are more Section 8 there than other folks. Sooo many kids play in the parking lot. They have no respect for your automobile. There are soooo many roaches in the unit, even though they exterminate twice a year! Security is a joke. Next door neighbors are so ------ and disrepectful as they blast their music sky high in the unit. I always had to call security. Be careful when you move out. Tommie, the manager will do everything she can to bill you so that they will keep your security deposit. Tommie is a -----. This place is great for project folks on Section 8. But if you are working class, don't MOVE INTO THIS -------HOOD!

NO

My apartment was broken into twice, There's not enough security to patrol the complex, too many section 8 people to break in while you are at work, alarm systems don't work, people jump the gate from Roosevelt and Ashland to get into the complex without being noticed, muggings, rat problems, did I say not enough SECURITY! I hate I ever moved there. The police might as well build a station in the middle of the complex like they did in Cabrini Green.
