About The Lawrence House
The Lawrence House, built as a luxury apartment hotel, has been a cornerstone of life since its construction in 1928. The flats design team restored the building's original skylight, mosaic pool tiling, and terrazzo flooring as well as establishing an open lobby that acts as a free co-working space, adjacent to retailers such as a coffee shop and bar. Additional amenities include a backyard open to the public, a rooftop lounge and communal kitchen for residents, and a 6,000-square-foot fitness center including the fully restored pool and a boxing ring. The Lawrence House, located on the northeast corner of Kenmore and Lawrence avenue is the perfect location for an urban commuter. Just blocks away from the red line, our residents can walk, take the train, and bike to the lakefront and have ease of mind with our bike storage. The Lawrence House is a pet-friendly building and is home to cats, dogs, and even a teacup pig. Originally an apartment hotel, famous for housing musicians from the Aragon Ballroom and talent from the silent film production house Essanay film studios, The Lawrence House has preserved the spirit of the roaring ‘20s in contemporary apartment living. The lobby is open to the public and features an art deco barrel-vaulted skylight with a co-working table, lounge seating, a Heritage Outpost coffee shop, and Larry’s bar. A rooftop lounge, deck, and backyard provide ample seating for spring and summer fun with gas grills and seating areas. The Lawrence House offers studio, lofted studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom duplex apartments. The building's historical name was the New Lawrence Hotel, of which it was one of the founding buildings of the Uptown Entertainment District - with many notable people living in or staying temporarily at the hotel.
The Lawrence House is located in the Uptown Chicago Neighborhood and 60640 Zip code of Chicago, IL. This community is professionally managed by FLATS

Not at all surprised about the reviews
May 15, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comI'm truly unsure who reached out to me on yesterday, whomever it was completely deterred me from wanting to rent with the Lawrence House. I received a call asking had I called the Lawrence, which I explained yes, I was trying to complete my application, but it wouldn't allow me to move pass the income portion because I didn't have a months' worth of checks. I just moved to Chicago with my new job, so I only had 1 check stub, however I had my offer letter. The person then stated, did you not try ...and upload the documents to other documents, I explained yes, and then it was an attitude from that point on. The Winnie staff on the other hand was extremely helpful and very pleasantRead MoreProperty Manager Responded

We are very sorry to hear that your recent interaction left you feeling discouraged, especially during what should be an exciting transition into a new home and a new city. We understand that application requirements can sometimes feel frustrating or confusing, particularly when starting a new position and working with limited paystub history. We regret that the communication you received did not come across as as helpful and welcoming as intended, and we appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. At Lawrence House, we always want prospective residents to feel supported throughout the application process, and your feedback has been shared internally as an opportunity for continued coaching and improvement in how we communicate and assist applicants. If you are still interested in moving forward or would simply like additional assistance with your application, please feel free to contact Alexis directly at ...aboyan@flatslife.com. We would be more than happy to help review your documents, answer any questions, and assist in making the process as smooth as possible. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we wish you all the best as you settle into Chicago and your new role.
Clean, Communicative, Kind, Caring
November 10, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comI feel very at home at LH. I feel safe, new management is available and much nicer, I’ve never seen a bug, maintenance requests are timely (during the week). My only ask would be to invest in installing a heater in the pool.Property Manager Responded
November 12, 2025Your review is appreciated. We are glad to hear you feel at home at The Lawrence House and appreciate your feedback on the pool heater suggestion. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Abhorrent
July 25, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comI had submitted work requests no less than 30 times for my HVAC system to be fixed…in 10 months. I begged for help from maintenance to understand what was wrong. The “fix” was to just reset the HVAC system when I got an error code that shut off my HVAC… every few days. They finally permanently fixed the HVAC system, 10 months into my lease. Absolutely no accommodation was made for this serious inconvenience. DO NOT RENT!!!Property Manager Responded
July 28, 2025Thank you for your feedback. We know the HVAC issues have been frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience. Please know we’ve responded to all of your 14 work orders within 24–48 hours and have made every effort to resolve the recurring CH 150 error through service calls, diagnostics, and repairs. As mentioned, this error code can occur due to how the system is designed—especially with breaker resets, switching between modes, or mechanical faults. We’re encouraged that the system has been working well recently, and we believe that’s due in part to a better understanding and use of the system by residents. While the error may still occasionally appear, we’ll continue to support you in keeping things running smoothly. Sincerely, The Lawrence House Team
Horrible
May 28, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comMy unit was disgusting. The staff doesn’t care about you or their job. You quality of life goes down the second you sign this lease. Do not make the same mistake I did.Property Manager Responded
June 27, 2022Hello, we're sorry to hear your experience has not been pleasant. We find your review to be concerning and would like the opportunity to discuss it in more detail to determine which unit you're in, and how we can rectify any concerns that haven't been addressed. Please reach out to our management team at lawrencemgmt@flatslife.com - we look forward to speaking with you.
Super social, helpful staff, and small kitchens
May 25, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comThe Lawrence House is a beautiful space with lots of ammenities in the building. Having a bar and cafe in the building is great gor a social life. Leasing with Flats Life gives you access to the amenities in all the buildings in Chicago, not just the Lawremce House, which is nice, although only one is in walking distance. in-unit washer/dryer is amazing. The only complaint I have is the kitchen size. It's pretty miniscule in most apartments. It's acceptable if you decide to live alone, but ...anything more than that, you could be strapped for space. If you can get padt that, though, The Lawrenve House is a great place to live.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

It's alright, and having someone at the door 24/7 makes me feel safe even if it is just the doorman and not also the security guard (who is usually there at night). You need a key fob for the elevators, so really only the lobby (bar, patio, coffee shop) is open to the public which is fine. A studio here is probably the newest/best amenities you can get for living alone in Chicago at this price. However, here is the ...weird stuff: building is SUPER humid. The A/C units use water and drip, and because there is just one window that opens a crack and no vent in the bathrooms it is STEAMY. I bought a dehumidifier pretty cheap which works well. In-unit washing machine/dryer combo is the worst. Gets SO hot even if you pick low heat on the dryer setting. Can smell funky too since these units dry by sucking water out and not blowing air in (kinda mildew-y). Takes about 6 hours for one load. I had to buy a clothes-drying rack. I do not dry my clothes in this machine anymore. Ruined so many of my clothes. Kitchen is tiny and was ok at first, but it just gets tiring being so cramped with no counter space, and hand-washing in the tiny sink is such a pain. If you like cooking, maybe consider elsewhere. Being super close to the Red line is one of the best perks here. Uptown is Uptown, so you just have to be aware of where you're choosing to live. Property management is hit or miss. Some people are great and friendly in responding and some act put out by tenant requests. They do get fixed eventually (there was mold in my bathroom when I moved in) but it can take some constant communication to get them to follow through. I'd say just get a roommate in a 2 bedroom somewhere else, you'll spend less and have more space.Read More
Resident for a year
March 15, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comThe reviews here are a bit silly and must be coming from tenants that have never lived outside of a two or three flat in Chicago. You chose a building with full amenities and a coffee shop/bar in the lobby. Everyone and their grandma is going to want repeat visits to use all the outdoor spaces. That is what happens when you have a ton of cool stuff to utilize. If you show up to the concerts and movie nights 30 minutes prior to start, I can guarantee you'll get a good seat and not have to cry ...about having to put a towel down or god forbid.... stand The staff and everyone involved in keeping the building running have been amazing. Quick response to issues and always friendly door staff. I've never felt unsafe or crowded. You chose an artist residency space with great utilities and price for what you get. Thanks for the great addition to Uptown! My girlfriend and I look forward to the next two years here (or whatever is left on the lease).Read More
Most frustrating residence in Chicago so far
February 5, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comAt first glance, The Lawrence House is a trendy, art-deco building with cool interior design and great amenities. Very early on into my lease here it became clear that there is absolutely NO soundproofing between apartments, and the residents are almost never held accountable for flagrant disruptions or violations of their tenant's contract. While the lobbies and assorted amenities are great, in theory, FLATS management is too concerned with bringing in business from the surrounding area to care ...at all about their tenants getting what they pay (A LOT!) for. I spent a year surrounded by inconsiderate, horribly loud neighbors who blast music and TV at all hours of the day and night, have drunken get-togethers which involve talking at absurdly loud levels well past 2 or 3am. The floors (and most walls) are all constructed of concrete, so neighbors in apartments above wearing their high heels and pacing endlessly at 5am echo and all sounds from all directions are loud enough to sound like they're in your apartment. On multiple occasions, there have been complaints about dogs left unattended and barking/howling for hours on end, only for management to maybe send an email but ultimately do nothing until confronted again by other tenants. Dogs are not allowed in the lobbies (unless you're in with the staff, in which case they run around off-leash), you're not able to bring your own drinks to the lobby because they want you to have to purchase the $10 cocktails from their pretentious bar. In the year I was there they increasingly opened the lounges and backyard up to the public for obnoxious events, further impeding on residents' access to the amenities they trick you into thinking are worth the absurdly high rent. Like the review mentioned above, the area is also iffy at best, and at MOST, the building security consists of a part-time security employee who is absent from the lobby for long periods of time. There have been calls to police made on domestic violence that resulted in nothing, I had a drunk and aggressive man screaming and throwing trash cans in my hallway, and at one point there was a suspect of some nearby crime hiding in the building. Don't get tricked into supporting this awful, greedy corporation. They do not care about you.Read More
Awful, stay away
November 3, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comI am not going to mince my words. On 09/18/17, I accidentally left my keys on a table behind a lamp for a few minutes (no exaggeration). Within that time frame, a BROTHER of a RESIDENT took my keys, went outside and found my car, and stole my car. My car was recovered on 10/01/17 at 41st St/S Calumet and eventually totaled on 10/11/17 after the offender did $16k worth of damages. If you’ve never had your car stolen, the horror of the whole situation is beyond comprehension. If you live at ...Lawrence House, all you get from management is that the resident has been dealt with “appropriate legal action” and the offender who stole our car (remember: BROTHER of a RESIDENT) has been back since that incident. There is zero security in this building – even after the bar closes and the coffee shop opens. None. I have come downstairs at 8am to find people sleeping in the lobby. I have seen incidents where individuals have been sleeping in the downstairs bike storage room. I have seen incidents of skinny dipping in the pool. When My strong advice to everyone is to rent somewhere cheaper and utilize Lawrence House amenities without the ridiculous rent. The bar, coffee shop, patio, movies, live music, lobby, and all special events are open to the public. In fact, I have seen residents have their friends use the bicycle storage and not be residents. We have visited/lived in/toured many high amenity buildings and none offer their amenities to the general public (with the exception of a few buildings with coffee shops but once the coffee shop closes, so does the lobby to the general public). None. The taco night on Sundays is a disaster. The people who make the taco's have their kids destroying everything in the backyard--jumping on the end tables, throwing firepit rocks, sitting in the firepit, kicking the plants.... When the general public ruin the building amenities (plants, end tables, beds, patio umbrellas, etc), the general public do not care because their rent is not increasing as a result, it is the rent of the residents that increases. Additionally, when the general public uses the supplies of your building (i.e., firewood, gas for grills) and the need to replace it much more often than anticipated... again, the residents will be dealing the rent increases. And for the love of renting -- please keep the firewood refilled and the dog run clean. That place stinks when at the fire pit!Read More
