Love having in-unit washer and dryer

Apartment is nice with big windows and an in-unit washer and dryer. Bathroom is large with nice shower.

Relatively small living room and bedrooms. Well lit. Nice appliances in kitchen.

Top floor community space is nice for hosting small groups and for studying. If you want to host a party on the top floor, management is rigid about letting in anyone that isn’t on the guest list.

Awful apartment management

The apartment itself is pretty decent. More spacious and nicer than MPP at only a bit more rent per month. However, the management team here is stretched beyond their capacity. My roommate and I arrived to move in on our prearranged move-in date to find that our apartment had not been cleaned from the last tenants. The floors, rugs, closets, etc. were all gross, the counters in the kitchen disgusting, and the refrigerator and freezer still had food from the last tenants. We had to stay a night in MDA's model apartment, and only received a rent abatement for 2 days plus a $250 stipend. This placed significant move-in stress on us, as we had to leave for our random walk less than 48 hours after our move in. Now that we're settled in, we're having maintenance issues (toilets running, leaky faucets) that management is slow to fix. Would not recommend to new Booth students.

worst management team ever, do not live here

Facilitate in poor condition. Usually take more than 2 weeks to repair. Worst management team and maintenance team I ever met! Don’t live here. Unreasonable Utility fee, not a good deal.

Great Space, Bad Management

I've had a pretty good experience living here. The front desk and maintenance staff are wonderful! I've had bad experiences with the management - they aren't good at communicating if there is a problem.

The unit itself is nice. It's small and not as "luxurious" as the ads made it sound, but it's quiet and the view is great.

beautifully decorated, great location

The rooftop of this place is wonderful, also the front desk and matanence employees are gerat and I actually got to become friends with them. Dog friendly with easy access to outside in the back with doggy bags and everything. Super close to the Chicago theater and everything downtown Chicago has to offer.

63 E Lake

This apartment is great overall. I would recommend friends to live here. Great location. Close to CTA. I do not consider moving anytime soon. The price of rent is worth everything that the building had to offer. I would like to find a bigger apartment in the building.

Great building

I like this apt building a lot. The only downside is that my apt windows don't close easily. This is a huge hassle and I always have to call the concierge downstairs to help me with this (but they are very accommodating). The management is also great!

The Loop Reviews

349 reviews
Very secure and tranquil. Very close to public transportations. Namely millennium station which I use to ride the Metra trains to campus.
Very close to the lake and navy pier
Great park surrounded by all the buildings.
There’s good supermarket that has everything. A couple restaurants and coffee shops are also there.
Amazing place to have a social life! It is super close to Gleacher and to where recruiting events take place. Most Boothies live in this area and that helps creating a nice community. West loop with amazing restaurants is 2 metro stops/5min uber. TNDCs also happen walking distance. Its also where most touristic attractions are so its great for when friends/family visit you.
Safe neighborhood and good because it’s where most Booth students live but it’s a little sterile esp at night. Lots of tourists around. I would not live in this neighborhood if most other students didnt live here. However it is convenient to get to most places around chicago. In the middle of everything
Columbus plaza is on the quieter side, a few blocks away from Michigan. Tides and park millennium are even quieter but lack the river views that CP offers. It can be a bit too empty at night, which may be of concern to some. Most of the nearby restaurants in the pedway focus on serving office workers so they close around 6pm. Great access to river walk for running or biking.
The Loop has pros and cons. Living in the Loop is nice because during the day up until about 8 p.m. there are people walking around the streets which is nice because you feel more secure walking. However, on weekends and after a certain time at night it empties and it can be a little eerie.

That being said, if you're anywhere near State St. or the Mag mile, there's pretty much people around at any given hour. It's fun to live downtown because the streets are bustling with interesting people, sometimes there's live music on street corners and there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
Beautiful area in a great location with a dog park, playground, and full service grocery store in short walking distance. Restaurants and transit are just ok in this area, but not a bad walk to the "L" and that opens up the restaurant options. No close-by childcare for kids under preschool age, but great preschool and private elementary school, with high price tags. Ubers often find this place impossible to locate due to GPS's going crazy with the multiple layers of Wacker, Randolph, Columbus, and East South Water Street.
The Loop is an unlikely place to live but I love it. You are in the heart of the city, close to every L line possible, very good restaurants and walking distance to River North without paying River North prices for apartments. Apartments are smaller throughout the neighborhood but if you are an urbanite and don't mind limited closet space you will love it here. Mostly everyone is walking distance to work.
Great location close to blue, brown, green, pink, orange and red lines. 10 minute walk to State St., 5-10 minutes to River North, 15 minutes to Michigan Avenue. Grocery stores aren't really walkable but most people in the building use PeaPod/Instacart. Safe to walk around at night. A lot of new restaurants (quick service) opening in the area.
