I am a long time resident and can recommend the Oak Grove Hotel as a decent place to live.
I stay because I have always found the place to be so centrally located that I can get anywhere in about 20 minutes, city or suburb. Parking is an issue but that is the nature of living in the city. You need to pay to park. I will say the snow removal for the building has so vastly improved I never worry that I cannot get out of a parking spot. And if I do have an issue, the building mgmt will come
...and help.
The apts are old school, but are being updated with granite and new cabinets but still have that old time feel of space. The staff has always been quick in helping when there has been a problem: leaky faucet, clogged drain. The building is pretty quiet but any issue is dealt with promptly.
People are friendly, there are holiday parties in the lobby for anyone wishing to attend. People look out for their neighbors. People live here a long time so something must be done right here.
If you're looking for yoga classes, dry cleaning, you"re on your own. There is a small grocery store next door If you're looking for a quiet, decent place to live check it out.
