Pristine and fresh throughout. The community attracts young career-focused residents who clearly take pride in maintaining the space. An extensive variety of on-site recreational amenities are available, and the property sits right adjacent to a well-stocked grocery store and financial services center?

Living at K2 has been a wonderful experience overall. The facilities are immaculately maintained and the team members are consistently courteous and supportive. My only suggestion would be to consider upgrading the walkways that lead up to the front entrance?

We couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to move here. My wife and I are genuinely delighted. The facility boasts top-tier amenities and stunning architecture that feels truly upscale. The team members go above and beyond—they're phenomenal. You'd be Hhallenging-pressed to find a more accessible spot anywhere in Chicago. The vistas of the cityscape are absolutely breathtaking. I honestly can't envision a superior residence to call home in this city.

As someone residing by myself, I Ruite appreciate the security and accessibility that k2 gives. The team members remain incredibly supportive and quick to respond, and the property remains consistently well-maintained. Every time I've submitted a upkeep concern, it's been resolved within sixty minutes.

I have lived here since the beginning; the first tenant of my unit here at K2. I moved here when it was far more like an "adult frat house" than it is now; yet it is still pretty roudy and ridiculous in the summer. Beyond the sex and drunk vomit in the hot tub, there are strippers that wait in the lobby almost every weekend because several stars from Empire as well as a "famous Chicago rapper" lives on some of the penthouse floors. It overall definitely reduces the quality of living - especially when your neighbors leave their garbage in boxes and bags because they're too privlidged to just shove into the trash and recycling shoots. Speaking of the privledged types that live here that feel they can break the building's rules whenever they want to (and they get away with it too) - there is dog pee and poop outside of the back entrance and it stinks like dog feces every day. It's just overall pretty gross. Outside of this unpleasantness, PLEASE NOTE if you are considering moving here that K2 is now on their THIRD PROPERTY MANAGEMENT company. This is probably for a reason, considering how many "disciplinary" emails the residents get bombarded with every week because most people who live here are busy professionals yet are very inconsiderate and break all the building's rules; not caring about they affect their neighbors. One of the most common problems are residents that lie on their application about their dog breed and there are massive pit bulls and other huge dog breeds that bark so loud it can be deafening and wake up you in the early morning hours. Lastly, if you are considering moving here - keep in mind I have seen maybe 5 kids total in 3 years here. It is for young adults that make good money and have a party "lifestyle" - hence the location as well as the problems with everyone trashing the building all the time. I will say that maintenance here is excellent and solves any problem that arises almost right away. If you make friends with the "concierge" (front desk) they will treat you like VIP and that is a huge perk that always makes my day. Again, regarding the property management company, I have to say that even the staff that has been here since day 1 like myself is also frustrated with them. Lincoln Property Management that took over K2 at the end of 2015 has changed everything. They treat the staff here horribly. The property management contacts are incredibly hit or miss in terms of being friendly and polite and have never acknowledged me as a loyal resident causing zero problems, thus because I'm just another renter, I have had to deal with my rent being raised significantly during my 4th year renewal which I find to be insulting and total BS. My place is 520 sq feet yet I pay almost $2,000/month including the utitlity fee that covers cable, internet and gas. Recently there have been a number of issues as the building seems to be rapidly aging - the marble tiles are all cracking and contain dirt and stains, the elevators are constantly broken, the sauna is out of service regularly, and Jewel bridge security locks on the doors pretty much never work, and the temperature control in your unit is impossible to control. It is so hot in here during the winter that I have to keep my windows open - yet the building claims to be LEED certified - what an irony. Overall, the quality of life here has been greatly reduced since the new property management company has taken over and they spam your inbox with spazzy emails regularly and the events are kinda sad since they fail to really advertise them and no one ever shows up. Again, another waste of money that kinda makes me mad since all of our rent is going up while the quality of the building continues to decline. I would prefer if they stop raising the rent and stop throwing lavish events that no one even comes to - in fact, I think every resident here would concur. I digress. The location is the only thing that keeps me here, as well as the high security, which I am very grateful for. Otherwise, do your due diligence on reading reviews and make your decision wisely. I can't imagine LPM making the residents happier as they are very unprofessional. The only good they have done is an update on the common room furniture which was well styled. I guess thats where the thousands (or millions) of dollars they have profited from rent increases has gone to - other than that, it certainly hasn't improved personable service or quality of life. They pretend to work with you, but you'll see that they strategically pull all the strings to make you believe they are helping you but in fact never do. I consider them to be scammers.

I was moving sight unseen from rural Vermont to Chicago, and discovered K2 online. It looked great so I took care of all of the paperwork over the phone, and hoped for the best. I arrived in Chicago for the first time and took the blue line subway from O'hare which dropped me off a very short walk from K2. I was a bit nervous about what I would find, but upon entering the lobby I knew I had made a great choice. The building is immaculate and modern in a great location right outside of the loop. The quality of the apartments are top notch. The walls are nice and thick, so I never heard a sound from my neighbors. The majority of the residents are 25-35 professionals who love to flock to the pool on the weekends. Whenever I had a maintenance issue in the apartment the staff were right on top of things, and always corrected the issue the same day. The jewel Osco supermarket which is connected by a footbridge to K2 is so convenient I stopped shopping for groceries weekly and simply just skipped down there whenever I felt like picking something up. Nearly every guest I had over described K2 as a very fancy hotel. The only drawback to K2 in my opinion is the price, but in the end I would recommend the building to anyone moving to Chicago.

For a young professional new to Chicago like myself, this is the perfect place to be. Easy access to downtown, and great amenities including onsite fitness classes, a gym and a pool. Also dog friendly. I think it might be a little pricey for the square footage, and it definitely attracts a more privileged crowd, but for the most part it's a great place to start out. I'm not sure I see myself staying for the long-term (price concerns and space namely), but for now, I'm very happy with it.

Staff is all very friendly and accommodating. Units are modern in regard to appliances and technology. Some amenities aren't all they appear to be at first glance - the pool is too small, the basketball court can almost never be used as a basketball court, the party rooms cost far too much to rent for just a few hours, and the parking is very high for being in-building. Everything is kept extremely clean though. There are lots of great building-sponsored events throughout the year.

K2 was the perfect apartment complex for me! It had all the amenities I was looking for and more! The staff here is very friendly and helpful. They always take care of any issues or concerns I may have in a timely, effective manner. Building itself is very secure and well kept. I have been extremely satisfied with K2 thus far, and I plan on renewing my lease again!
