North Shore Apartments

uptown campus and most of neighboring apartments and buildings are rented by students. You may also wake up in the middle of the night on weekends by drunk people shouting, laughing, and singing right under your window. The building is very old and poorly maintained. Management is located twenty miles away at Prospect Heights, IL. We had cockroaches and mice in our unit which we never could get rid of. The hallways and stairs are rarely cleaned and stink so bad most of the time that we couldn’t invite our friends for the entire three years! The bathtub drain kept clogging every few months. Heating is provided by an old baseboard system which cannot be turned on or off in the units. We had to crack open the windows during snowy winter nights of Chicago to vent off the heat! In fact, the windows act like unit thermostats! Cooling system is only a small noisy A/C unit installed in the living room which hardly cools that small room, and the bedroom which has no cooling system at all becomes useless during summer time due to scorching heat. Don’t even think about visiting this building. It’s a total waste of time and money.

Speaking of safety there are cameras on the interior and exterior of the building in case of anything. There are 4 coin operated large washer and dryers. There is ample parking in the area and spots available for rent. It took me a couple months to get a spot but the building manager helped me with finding parking in the meantime. There's also a big garage about 5 minutes walking next to the Loyola Red line stop that has spaces for rent. Heat is included and keeps the entire building warm in the winter. Sometimes too warm that I have to crack a window. One year the heater broke in my unit and the manager provided me with a large portable heater until it was fixed. All in all I would recommend this property to anyone.

make the building safe. In general the environment here is quiet with a pleasant and diverse group of people. Indoor and outdoor parking is available for a reasonable price. CTA access is easy: two bus stops are literally by the building, and Loyola Red Line stop is a 5 minute walk. The area has CVS pharmacy, a few stores and restaurants, T-Mobile, Verizon and ATT stores. Last but not least: Northshore Beach is big enough, clean and beautiful for all, with a huge green park, tennis and basketball courts, a football field and plenty of parking for everyone.
