Dearborn Plaza Apartments

I’m a clean freak so I blame it on the heat wave we were in at the time. the next day the maintenance sprayed my apartment & I haven’t had any issues since. 10 minute walk away from the beach and it’s a great place for a young person to live. Lots to do in the area. There’s no central AC but they allow you to rent a window unit for the season which works fine for me and keeps my place cool. I feel safe living here too for the most part being a woman.

I was approved in a day or two. My apartment has an extremely competitive and fair rent price (especially for the view), the unit had brand new floors/a very clean and updated bathroom/a great little kitchen with very clean and fully functional appliances when I moved in. My apartment also had two large closets so I have never felt short on storage. Management made moving in easy by scheduling you time with a freight elevator big enough to move anything I could imagine in, and the only utility you pay for is electricity! The building has a very unique and cute build, constructed in the 20s as a luxury hotel for women, the studios are about the size of a large extended stay hotel room. If you are looking for w quaint and updated space you have found it! Dearborn Plaza's maintenance team is second to none, they helped me hang all of my pictures and shelves/lamps within days of me moving in. Between my move-in and December they have replaced every window screen and cleaned the windows of every unit, as well as fully repainted the hallway trims. I hear them vacuuming the hallways on my floor and cleaning a few times every week which is great, they really care about the upkeep of the building and it shows. I haven't seen a single bug in my apartment or otherwise in the building which is great. I recently got a cat and they don't even charge a fee for having one, which is very kind-hearted compared to a lot of other units I've seen. I plan to live in this quiet and well kept space for years to come and I highly recommend this building if you are looking for a studio like I was.

that's the layout. What brings you here is the location! location! location! If you are 25 years or older you will be miserable. These are dorm rooms and it's not for adults. The location and price will make you chose it but just don't. There is not parking on site. There won't be any street parking here at all. You'll have to pay 100s to park in a lot or a garage.

do spray for the bugs, but they return every spring and summer. Other than that, I've enjoyed my stay here!

change your life & place you in the epicenter of your "downtown dreams!"

Lincoln Park, Oak Street Beach, Lincoln Park Zoo, Michigan Ave shopping, etc. Public transport is super accessible as are grocery stores, banks, Starbucks, and drugstores. 3. Aside from electricity, all utilities are covered with rent. I know heat can be very expensive in Chicago winters, so I'm glad I don't have to pay extra for it. They aren't stingy either-- I never felt like my apartment was too cold. 4. The building is well-maintained. 5. They host BBQs, holiday parties, etc for the residents which is very sweet. There is a cute rooftop where you can hang out as well. Cons: The apartments are tiny, as is the kitchen space. But for the price, neighborhood, and peace of mind, it's more than a fair trade-off.

room space small(they only have studios) and they don't have air conditioning on site( for which you can rent window AC from the management) apart from that I would recommend this place because of the affordable price and location.

sophisticated spot with Lincoln Park and North Ave Beach a lovely 10 minute walk away.
