Lake Street Lofts

Jul 19th, 2021

The property manager (Marc) never showed up for our tour despite having scheduled it just a few days prior at a time that he himself had recommended. He then said he'd contact us shortly to reschedule, but failed to do even that.

We scheduled a visit to Lake Street Lofts despite some reservations about the property manager. If you look around at some other review websites you'll find he is frequently brought up in negative reviews. You'll also find some lengthy and/or unprofessional responses from the property manager to those negative reviews. Nevertheless, we thought the space and location warranted a visit. We were told to meet one of their staff members by the entrance but no one ever showed up. We called the office and there was no response. After about 20 minutes we decided the red flags were piling up and this property wasn't for us.

Showed up for a showing, got no answer and waited around.

Bottom Line: 5 stars all around. The 4 stars for noise is only because it's not a concrete building. Noise is not an issue in any way, and it's way quieter than your typical garden apt. If you hear anything, it will be from the neighboring apt and not the one above (or below). I've moved 28 times in 17 years (2002-2019). This is my first review. I lived at Lake St Lofts twice while in Chicago, from 2012-2014 and from 2015-2016. From the manager to the maintenance to the facilities, this is my favorite place to live ANYWHERE. Chicago is also my favorite city, but if you like the honest to God "Loft", look no further. I'm done writing because it's pissing me off that I don't live there right now and after DC, NOLA, NYC, Hawaii, and Europe....I've never been able to find a building like that one. EDIT: referencing the negative comments about the manager....they are unfounded. Those comments are from individuals who were not approved to become leaseholders, or they fail to realize that busy property managers focus on the tenants vice prospects...especially at a location in high demand.
