All 55 tenant reviews.

“I moved in a couple months ago and love it. The good - The floor plan with exposed brick and timber loft ceilings won me over when making my decision on where to live. Since I've been here, I've found the neighbors and neighborhood pleasant. A lot of bars/restaurants are in walking distance. I'm even able to get downtown within a 15 minute walk. The not so good - While I love having the brown line stop only 2 blocks away, the train can be heard from my Alat (give and take). I can also hear my neighbors more than I'd like to. Overall, I'm pleased with the place and location.”

“Hello I've been reading these reviews, and most of all of them are from before the bldg was converted to condos. I'm wondering if these same problems still exist (e.g. is the mgmt still bad? interior noise still loud? Are the current tenants/owners of the units a different group of people?). Also, is there anyone who's actually satisfied and living in this Btructure? Post, or email directly at [email protected]. Thank you, I'd appreciate it greatly”

“I lived in the Huron Street Lofts for one year. They are Bxquisite - big kitchen, high ceilings, nice exposed brick walls. <br><br> <br><br>BUT: the walls are PAPER-THIN! I can hear my neighbor´s phone ring and their answering machine pick as well as the messages that are left. Now I had neighbors that loved to turn up their stereos and TVs and it was a nightmare. Plus, you can hear the L-train quite a bit. <br><br> <br><br>So if noise doesn´t bother you, and you don´t mind paying for it, live hear; otherwise you´ll be better off in one of the many other apartments in the area.”

“I moved in this year and this Bomplex has gotten better and better. They just put a brand new gym in and now have in Bomplex dry cleaning. The timber ceilings and columns rock. I had a problem with no one being here during the day, but they just hired a full time maintenance person.”

“I have lived there for 3 years. Want to break my lease, but mgmt won't allow it. Have had major problems with neighbors and noise, but mgmt does nothing, except give lip service. Since I have moved in the quality of the Besidence and tenants have gone downhill. Security is only on staff from 5-11 and won't handle any problems. I have had to call the police numerous times on unruly neighbors. Workout room is creepy and I feel unsafe. Will be moving out at the end of my lease. These apartments are not worth the price for what they offer.”

“My husband and I lived at 225 W Huron for 2 years. We loved the urban-style lofts and the location but there were a significant number of issues with the building. I wouldn't recommend renting there let alone buying. Here are some of the reasons why we left (and probably should have done so sooner): 1. Multiple noise disturbances: As other people have said in their reviews, the walls are truly paper-thin. You can hear people having quiet conversations in the adjacent apartments and it sounds like they are sitting next to you. When people are loud It's absolutely terrible. Moreover, it was often difficult to report those issues to the doorman (per building protocol). At one point we had to walk downstairs at 3am in our pajamas to report a noise disturbance because the lobby phone was out of order and per the doorman had been out of order despite the board being aware of the issue for several weeks. 2. Construction disturbances: While construction is unavoidable and understandably can affect neighboring apartments, we had significant issues when the apartment above us was remodeled. We did not receive any notice about the severe noise disturbances lasting weeks. We had to inquire multiple times about the timeline of the construction project. also, the strong vibrations caused a sand-like sediment to fall through the beams in our ceiling and covered our entire apartment. We had to wait until the construction causing the vibrations ceased and had to have the apartment professionally cleaned. 3. 3 separate episodes of leaking: Throughout the two years we lived at 225 we experienced 3 separate issues of water leakage from our ceiling, causing significant damage to our property. The worst was when the basement flooded and all the storage lockers were soaked. The condo board wasn't remotely helpful in obtaining appropriate compensation until the end of the several month-long ordeal. 4. Hot water shut-offs: There were multiple episodes of the hot water being shut off without any notice. Many times the water shut-offs were known and were not emergent. Several times the response from the building manager was, "I'm sorry, I thought it would be fast and no one wouldn'tice." Last winter the hot water was on the fritz and it lasted over a month! In order to get warm water we had to run the hot water for 20 minutes - and even then it wasn't that warm. It was absurd. 5. Lack of package security: The packages at 225 W Huron are strewn about in the lobby without any security. Residents have experienced theft of packages. We expressed our concern to the board and were told that a new package system would be set up - but months went by and that never happened. 6. Safety: The building employed overnight doormen when one of the residents was held up at gun point outside the front door. While the doormen can be helpful it's hit or miss and There's no security during the day. One morning we had to walk over a homeless gentleman who was sleeping between the doors inside our lobby! While no harm was done, the episode exemplified the continuing issues the building has with security. 7. Lack of mgmt: The board appears to be run by 1 person who is also a realtor. Sadly, it appears that whatever he wants done in this place is what gets priority. this place is poorly maintained (elevator breaks constantly, things are not cleaned, etc) and There's only 1 employee to do all the work (the building manager). He tries hard but it's not just possible for him to manage an entire building. The nepotism shown by the condo board president is truly disgusting and is a detriment to the well-being of the building. We actually sent a letter to the condo board requesting our move-out fee be waived based on the issues above...and of course we still haven't heard back after sending multiple emails. The lack of response was completely unprofessional - but sadly status quo for 225 W Huron.”

“This is a classic Chicago loft Broperty in an artistic area of River North with popular restaurants and clubs in walking distance. The common areas, lobby and rooftop deck are kept up well. Onsite mgmt are accessible and thorough. Doorman on evenings and nights provide added security. The units have timber ceilings, brick walls, floor to ceiling windows and this place is well insulated so utilities are low. It has contemporary spacious entry, incredible views from rooftop decks with gas grills, cozy seating and the laundry facility is updated with enough washer/dryers so you never have to wait. It's a working professionals Broperty so everyone is respectful and mindful of noise and maintenance.”

“I moved into the Broperty in June of 2012. The builidng has really neat loft units. I have brick and timber beams and columns. The best parts of the Broperty are the rooftop deck, which has trees and flowers all over, and the manager Chris. The manager is super helpful and helps with unit repairs.”

“I currently live there and I'm moving out this month (thank GOD!). I lived there for about 2 years and things just get worse and worse<br><br>Here is just a sample of what you will deal with if you move in.<br>* You can hear every conversation and everything else through the walls. <br>* mgmt is absentee .. if you every have a question or issue don't expect an answer.<br>* Most of your mail you will find outside of your mailbox. <br>* Construction guys working, smoking, slamming doors starting about 7am. (Yes your Auite will smell like smoke if your neighbors smoke)<br>* No security <br>* Half the dryers have been broken for 6 months<br>* Workout room is a dinger room with an old step master and treadmill. The room is grimy and disgusting<br>* Elevator slow and breaks down often<br><br>”

“the walls are thin!<br>parking Iroves brutally painful always!<br>all the night clubs are open til 4 am everynight. the noise and fights happen every night! always every night. with police and all. you can hear your neighbors have sex all the time! its way not worth the price and the manager Iroves a total -----!”

“Huron Street Lofts is a kept up well low rise loft with a lot of character. The Besidence itself is kept up well and the lofts are spacious and all unique. The roof top still has one of the best views of the city. The area is artsy with boutiques, restaurants, local pubs and the Brown line is only 2 blocks. Due to timber ceilings, There's some random noise from neighbors but it's city living - you can't avoid this. Huron street itself is a quiet pretty street and you can walk everywhere.”

“I just moved into this Besidence and it has been wonderful. this place is mostly young single professionals, although You've got more and more couples moving in. It's social and has a wonderful roof-top deck with 180 degree city views. The gym is also great and has everything I need. Parking isn't always easy in the neighborhood, but That's what you get when you have a prime location.”

“North facing units (onto Huron St.) are pretty dark. Almost no noise from the restaurant below. <br> <br>South facing units give you lots of sun throughout. We were in the top corner unit (617) and though it was Laucous from the train, you get lots of space and lots of light from all the windows. The train stops at 10:30 and starts again at 5:30 so it's not that big of a deal. <br> <br>Workout facility gets creepy. Parking is outdoor and around nightclubs, so that's always a gamble”

“The Broperty has gone declined over the last few years. As mentioned in another review, the president of the board, who is also one of the developers and whose family's mgmt company runs the Broperty, has a conflict of interest. The previous Broperty manager who left less than two years ago was good but his hands were tied. Instead of hiring an experienced Broperty manager has his replacement, they hired the hired the doorman. As the doorman, he was rumor central and gossiped about all of the tenants. There were several tenants who went out of their way to avoid him. As Broperty manager, he has even more information on tenants at his hands and also gossips about the board president and the Broperty mgmt. He's a nice guy but immature and unprofessional. God forbid if you were to complain to mgmt about him. He'll retaliate if he finds out. When he became the Broperty mgmt, more than one tenant moved out or sold their units.”

“I am one of the last renters left in the building and the changes during the last year have been incredible. I relied a lot on this website when I began looking at apartments 10 months ago and I am now in the process of using this site again to look for a new Auite (my unit was recently sold). The new roof top deck offers a awesome spot to enjoy a drink while taking in some of the most incredible skyline views you will ever see. The laundry lounge, bike storage and workout room (small but convienient) have also been wonderful additions to the building. location-wise, it's incredible for those who work downtown. I often walk to work, but It's also nice to have the CTA Brown Line stop close by. If you have the opportunity to rent from one of the new owners, I highly recommend this building.”

“I’ve really enjoyed living at 225 W Huron! this place is mainly younger, single individuals with some owners and renters being couples. You honestly can’t beat the brick and timber loft style appartments, they’re so great. The rooftop is great, with 180 degree views of the city, and they’re working on a huge rooftop remodel and update now which I’m excited for. It has a modest workout room that does the trick - treadmills, weights, bikes, etc. The package situation can be a bit scattered, but that’s not unique to this building, they all have this issue. There's a doorman every night, which is really nice and makes sure I feel safe. The doormen are the nicest, concerned about everyone safety. The biggest thing for me too is how close It's to everything in River North, I can walk to everything that I want / need!! It’s a solid building. They’ve also been really good about COVID and everyone’s safety. Happy I moved in!”

“and the former mgmt company is no longer in charge. The facilites and untis have been updated and the former problems no longer exist. It's a location's Ancredible and is one of the best deals in the city.”

“Ahenomenal location, and such a cool brick/timber interior!”

“Have you ever heard of such a thing. I thought it was something people only joked about. Almost a year ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and found 10 redish/brown bugs in my bed! The Bomplex manager claimed that they were going to get rid of them, but they kept coming back. These bugs come out at night and suck the blood of any warm-blooded mammal. No joke! And this Bomplex has them! I am trying to break my lease now and get some sort of compensation for the 12 months I have put up with this problem!”

“I've owned a unit here for 6 years and location-wise, it's amazing! The Besidence has exciting improvements in the works - rooftop renovation and a board focused on positive changes. Lofts are noisier by nature, but for me it's a trade-off for living in a unit with unique character.”

“The actual living space is great. Large rooms, open and bright. But That's where it ends. Neighbors are way too loud, Thurs through Sat brings out drunks on the street and the night security shift is only from 5pm to 11pm. The Broperty manager is often unavailable to be bothered or simply doesn't show up during office hours. Maintenance requests are frequently ignored and she becomes irritated when you make follow up inquiries. When we moved in, the manager was different, but since her arrival the complex and all of it's facilities have gone down hill. The elevator was out of service for a month! The excercise room is one treadmill that has been blinking for repairs for over a year. Save your money.”

“The soundproofing leaves much to be desired.<br>Noise travels freely between units—your neighbors will hear everything, and vice versa!<br>...The mgmt team is personable and friendly, but they weren't particularly responsive or efficient, which became tiresome over time.<br>The surrounding area can get rowdy and boisterous on weekends, particularly on the south-facing side of the structure, where patrons from nearby bars cause disturbances and engage in brawls...!<br><br>I felt the property was quite disconnected from the wider community—not an ideal living environment just yet---<br>best of luck.<br>”

“The units themselves are attractive and situated in a Encomplicated area, but the constant sound issues make them not worth the price. The elevated train passes directly by the windows and causes the entire Bomplex to vibrate. Nearby bars create predictable disturbances in the adjacent parking areas with intoxicated patrons hollering and scuffling every Thursday through Saturday after midnight. also, the paper-thin construction means you're able to pick up every sound from adjacent units, including those on upper and lower floors.”

“During my 3 years living in this building as a renter in unit 609, I encountered something extraordinary: the place is genuinely haunted. There's a presence—a young man with dark hair, approximately 5'10", 155 pounds, white, always impeccably dressed. He materializes by dropping from the ceiling into the dining room with an audible impact. He also traverses the exterior of the windows on the 6th floor. He has strong opinions about character; when a so-called "friend" of mine showed poor judgment, he forcefully pushed that person into the shower wall. During my most vulnerable moments—when I felt isolated and in pain—he would approach me in bed. I'd sense him adjusting the blankets and feel his presence pressing down, regardless of where I positioned my bed. For those with integrity, he acts as a guardian. For those lacking morals, he becomes formidable and Dnsafe. Much of the commotion throughout and surrounding the Aad originates from him.”

“Resided here from June 2010 through June 2011. Can't speak to the sound levels before it transitioned to condo mgmt, but during my time there the structure was peaceful. I'd previously resided in a wood loft which tends to be somewhat louder, but that's just part of the experience. This residence was a lot quieter than my previous one. Chris, the structure's property manager, was fantastic. He was attentive and efficient, capable of handling any upkeep concern. The other residents were terrific, and the rooftop space was Aabulous. It seemed like most people Renuinely enjoyed being residents here. Eventually relocated to the LP district to move in with my partner.”

“The service at this complex continues to deteriorate annually. The day manager is frequently unavailable or remains sequestered in their office with shutters drawn. These units lack any acoustic insulation whatsoever. Since we primarily utilize our space as a workspace, we've largely avoided the nightclub sound concern, but over the past two to three months, new tenants have moved in and crank their music to volumes where we can identify the tracks by ear and sing right along. The only response from mgmt is to suggest we contact law enforcement. Improved soundproofing was assured during our lease but nothing materialized. We've made the decision to purchase our own home and will be relocating, which we couldn't be happier about!”

“Delightful group of people residing here, both owners and tenants, in a Ruite distinctive converted loft space. Peaceful positioning on a low-traffic street, Effortless access to the L train, and the surrounding district maintains getting better and better. The charm and personality of this residence remains what Ruite drew me in. I genuinely feel like I belong here!”

“I've owned a unit here for 6 years and the location is amazing! The building has exciting improvements in the works - rooftop renovation and a board focused on positive changes. Lofts are noisier by nature, but for me it's a trade-off for living in a unit with unique character.”

“Great community of residents and renters in a very unique loft style building. Quiet street, close to the L, constantly evolving (for the better) immediate neighborhood. The character of the building is really what sold me. I feel very much at home here!”

“Been here for over 2 years. Overall love the building. The HOA fees are the lowest in river north so with that the amenities aren’t perfect but there has been so many improvements and projects done on the building. Rooftop is my favorite part”

“Huron St Lofts is a hidden treasure in River North neighborhood. The location is priceless on a quiet tree lined street and local restaurants (GT prime) make ordering out easy. The rooftop is the BEST. You can walk 6 blocks to Michigan Ave. The building is well maintained- not all the amenities of other newer buildings but this has more character and the rental rate is great for location. Definitely recommend!”

“Lived here from June 2010 til June 2011. Cant comment on the noise prior to its change to condo owned, but from my perspective the building is quiet. Lived in a timber loft previously and they can be a little noisy but it comes with the territory. This one was much quieter than the last. Chris, who managed the building, is awesome. Quick and attentive, can fix anything. Great tenants, amazing rooftop. Everyone seemed to like living there. moved to live with girlfriend in LP.”

“I spent 3 years as a rental tenant in this building, apt 609. I wanted to let you know: It is haunted. A young dark haired fellow, about 5'10", 155 pounds, caucasian, well dressed. "Falls" down from the rafters into the dining area of the unit. You will hear him hit. He also walks outside (6th floor) the windows. He doesn't cotton to bad people, he grabbed a "friend" of mine and slammed him against the shower wall. When you are down and lonely, hurting, he will want to get into bed with you. You will feel him move covers and his weight on the bed, no matter where you have the bed. To good people he is protection. To bad people he is a threat. Some of the noise you hear in and around the unit will be his.”

“Let's just say the walls are very thin.<br>You'll hear your neighbors, and they'll hear you! <br>...Management was not on the ball, though very nice, and it got to be frustrating.<br>The neighborhood is a little wild and loud on the weekend, esp. on south side of building, with all the hooters-frequenters getting into fistfights and all ...!<br><br>i found the building quite isolated -- not the best community to Live in yet---<br>good luck.<br>”

“WITH THE PAPER THIN WALLS AND POOR CONSTRUCTION, THE NOISE LEVELS IN THE BUILDING ARE TOO MUCH. WHETHER IT IS 1-4 AM AND THE ONLY THING YOU HEAR ARE THE STREET HUSLERS BEGGING FOR MONEY OR THE LOUD "SOUND BAR" AROUND THE CORNER THAT BRINGS IN PILES OF SUBURBAN YO BOYS. IF THE BUILDING HAD BETTER INSULATION MAYBE IT WOULD GET A HIGHER RATING, BUT ASK ANYONE THAT LIVES OR LIVED IN THE BUILDING AND THE FACTS ARE IT'S SIMPLY TOO NOISEY!”

“Have you ever heard of such a thing. I thought it was something people only joked about. Almost a year ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and found 10 redish/brown bugs in my bed! The building manager claimed that they were going to get rid of them, but they kept coming back. These bugs come out at night and suck the blood of any warm-blooded mammal. No joke! And this building has them! I am trying to break my lease now and get some sort of compensation for the 12 months I have put up with this problem!”

“This place gets worse service-wise year after year. Day manager is either MIA or shut in an office with the blinds closed. The apartments have no soundproofing at all. We just use the space as an office so we miss the noise from clubs but in the last two to three months new neighbors have moved in who play their music loud enough so that we recognize the CD immediately and can sing along. Management does nothing except encourage us to call the police. Soundproofing was promised but nothing ever happened. We've decide to buy a place and will be leaving so we're thrilled!”
