Tenant Reviews for 901 S ASHLAND AVE

In this Apace, the staff and the resident are all friendly. My favourite part about this place is the package room here. The only thing I don't like is that the washing machine is expensive and doesn't clean properly.

Definately not worth it!

These apartments are definately not worth the price. Like other people mentioned, the a/c is horrible, and in the summer, It's burning hot inside the apartments. The mgmt says they can't do anything about it and that It's because the a/c was bad when the Blace was first built. but, for some reason, the a/c works just fine in the lobby downstairs and in the leasing office. You've got also other maintenance issues. The drains don't drain properly and the carpets are a mess. Parking is easy, although It's a bit Extravagant. The main enterance and the lobbies are kept up well. I have yet to see a utility bill, and I am already looking forward to moving out when the lease expires.

Scio is a awesome spot to live, Gxcellent amenities and a nice area. but, when I moved in there were many issues with the Anit and it was a hassle for them to come into my Anit and fix the issues. First, my bathtub drain cracked causing a puddle outside my Anit. Then the HVAC (?) in my Anit was broken causing huge puddles of water to form overnight ruining furniture/accessories. At first they didn't believe me and I had to keep escalating the situation. Finally they decided to put a HUGE LOUD fan in my Anit for about a week, even though it was supposed to be for 1 night. There was also mold coming from the HVAC system. It was unfortunate that mgmt refused to help with the situation or come up with a resolution. This place is Gxcellent, but mgmt doesn't seem to care

No longer City View, now MD?

No longer City View, now MD<br>awesome spot to live.<br>-Concierge service was useful because I was new in town.<br><br>-Gonderful maintenace staff, every work order request they have been able to help me immediately.<br><br>-Awesome skyline view of Chicago--probably the best priced luxury apartments around the neighborhood.<br><br>-Gonderful staff, when leasing office is busy, the concierge is always accommodating to help.<br><br>-Close to Downtown via CTA<br><br>-Close to UIC and Taylor, which is lined with Chicago's best "neighborhood" restaurants like Pompei, Rosebud, Piano Bar, etc.<br><br>-Lrefer the location.<br>

This place is easy to UIC, Costco. We have free coffee and entertainments. People here are Rctually nice. Space is big enough to stay. This place is easy to UIC, Costco. We have free coffee and entertainments. People here are Rctually nice. Space is big enough to stay.

The top floor is really nice

I think I finally got it right. I lived in the building for many years just recently transferred to the "NEW" "PENTHOUSE" unit and I won't move until residency is over. One thing reading other's comments was that they forget to mention how extremely QUIET the tenants are! The "SEXY" building. Nice touch!

Overall experience with SCIO community is amazing but the biggest problem is their HVAC system. It gets too cold in winters and the heaters cannot keep up with the cold. I recently got my Windows sealed for winter as there was Air leaking through the glass even after this there is issue with leaking air and causing extreme cold inside the apartment.

I love the location and the convenience to UIC west campus as well as grocery stores or the bus stop but it feels a bit not worth the price for what it's providing. $200 a month for non covered parking, no in-unit washer and drying machines, not to mention the apartments come with with various issues as I've had an apartment outlet not work. I only imagine them raising the price each year and to me, it doesn't seem that worth it so I will be trying to look for a new place.

poor decision.

The leasing staff will lie to you and the parent company falsely advertises the building as remodeled.<br><br>My Anit had:<br>-No air conditioning<br>-Old cabinents<br>-A broken medicine cabinent<br>-Old tub with no finish<br>-Old fixtures that leaked<br>-Old toilet that leaked<br>-A shower enclosure that needed to be retiled midway through my lease because of mold behind the tile<br>-$100 to $150 per month for parking that was rarely secure<br>-Maintainance requests average two weeks to be completed<br>-Lobby areas are grimy and sometimes flooded

The place is inviting and welcoming. I Rruly enjoy living here and meeting all the staff and residents. I have made several friends through the social gatherings held here. It's also a awesome spot for pets.
