I live with my girlfriend who works as a nurse at the hospital downtown so it makes sense for us to live downtown to avoid getting two cars (she walks, I drive). We have lived in other places downtown which are much more luxurious and less issues but we are renewing our lease at Asbury because it's the cheapest we could find for a 1 bedroom. There is plenty of space. The issues are roaches which we have had a few times and but none since getting in the habit of closing all of the drains at all times. The gym is not great at all and I rarely use it, I use Loyola gym and my girlfriend goes to workout classes elsewhere. Laundry is not in-unit so it is a little annoying to have to take all your laundry downstairs and pay for the washer and dryer. Other than that it's not bad and I think worth the price if downtown is where you have to be.

Not the most luxurious living for downtown but good location. Smells like marijuana frequently. Not very sociable environment. Biggest gripe is the water bugs coming out of the drain if you don't keep the lid closed.

Have lived here for 4 years. Extremely pet friendly. Convenient distance from NMH/Feinberg. Management has sort of mailed it in over the past two years or so. No problems, just mostly useless. Door staff and maintenance are excellent.

We have absolutely loved living in Asbury Plaza. Management, door staff, maintenance staff, everyone is friendly, supportive, and dedicated to making the residents feel like it's their home. We have a pet ferret and unlike some places in Chicago that describe themselves as pet-friendly, there aren't any "except for..." in the leases here. Southwest side of the building have great views with the building oriented diagonally across the block (haven't seen NE, but they just built One Chicago on that side of the building), floor plans are unique, kitchens are updated, gym is well maintained, and management hosts building events ~monthly including a holiday party at a nearby restaurant. The location just can't be beat. Tons of restaurants around, Red line Chicago station 1 block away, Brown/Purple ~4 blocks away, easy access to Loop lines. If you're a Northwestern student, 10min walk to the Chicago campus. Choice of grocery stores (within walking distance: Whole Foods, 2x Jewel-Osco, Aldi, Trader Joes). The only downside I can really think of is the building is either AC or heat, residents don't have control over when that switches due to Chicago heat ordinances. The building tends to run warm, so we often have our balcony door cracked throughout the winter.

All of the finishes are new. The gym is brand new with plenty of space. They redid the lobby and added a free coffee maker. The staff are all super nice. Tre only down side is the subsidized arrangement. I never had any issue, I would just prefer it not to be subsidized for that amount of money each month.

Apartment is beautiful. They fix everything and deal with everything right away when its needed. It is beautiful. But where the building is located is very noise and it is very hard to deal with when you come home very tired and waking up a few times a night doesn't help.

The Ashbury Plaza at 750 N. Dearborn is a great value for the price. A little-known fact is that this building is part affordable housing so the demographic of the people in the building is very diverse. Recent renovations to the gym and laundry room. I especially like the angled room layout and convertible studio. You get some incredible sunsets as well.

Located on the corner of Chicago and Dearborn, this ~30 floor high rise offers great views, friendly staff, and good amenities. The apartments are a bit expensive (~1600 for a 1br) but thats par for the course in River North, one of Chicago's most expensive areas. My only major complaint is the triangular design which does reduce space and also makes for an awkward entryway to each apartment.

The onsite management needs a little work, but overall the property is nice. The elevators are fast. All the amenities were just redone and include a gym, pool, laundry room, coffee bar and computer room. The apartments are a good size and all have little balconies. Maintenance are great and respond quickly.

My experience with Asbury Plaza has been nothing short of fantastic. The new management that took over in 2016 is wonderful and very accommodating. The building is consistently trying to update and improve. My apartment is a fairly new and renovated convertible- great square footage, an amazing balcony with a view and huge bathroom with tons of closet space throughout, including a walk in! The building itself had a lot of wonderful amenities too!
