    If you move into these apartments just know you're moving in to the roaches' apartment-they own it. Bugs are TERRIBLE HERE. It says "heat" but these apartments are heated by the building who doesn't care about tenants freezing in winter. Neighbors smoke Marijuana and cigars and smell comes through the thin walls.. SO GLAD I MOVED OUT, I WON'T MISS IT!!!

    I love it here!!

After a long day at work , I can count on the Michigan Beach Apartments staff to make me laugh and when I finally go to my apartment, I can count on a warm hug of perfection. I ...

    My apartment is located within a 22 story building that sits on South Shore Drive at 7251. I have an apartment on the 17th floor; the northern view allows me to see the beach, Lake Michigan, and the skyline of downtown Chicago.
