Great River North building

It's been a great location and apartment! The floor plan is big, great views, lots of sunlight, a balcony, decent gym and pool/deck.
Of course the tradeoff is being about a mile from the Loop/the train, but the brown line is really close by and I don't mind the walk.

My Time at the Jones

I moved into the Jones in early-2015. Initially, I was super excited about the location and building's quality (it was brand new and opened in January of 2015). I was the first tenant of my unit and was happy to be living in a beautiful new apartment. While I am still happy over the location and quality, I cannot stress how rude the management team at the building has been over the last year. They have time-and-time again pitted themselves against my roommate and I creating a terribly uncomfortable living experience. Candidly, I feel as if they have worked VERY hard to make sure I don not renew my lease this Spring. I feel that this treatment is very specific to my roommate and I. While we have had complaints issued against us for noise, we have continued to apologize and let our management team know how we want to make sure our neighbors are happy and comfortable in their living situation and that our music is never a problem. Despite us expressing this sentiment (and them replying w/ hogwash along the lines of "we want you and your roommate to be able to live happily"), I feel as if the management team has ZERO interest in making our living situation comfortable. Again, we have felt marginalized and mistreated in the building. Our fellow tenants, who are all much older than us and, some, married, do not appear to be subject to this treatment. In fact, from small talk on the elevators and in the hallway, I get the sense that most people have no issues with the management team. Essentially, my roommate and I have been mistreated based on our age and the fact that we are in our 20's, having fun and living OUR lives in a building where they'd prefer different tenants.

Pricey but great apartment

Love my apartment at Jones Chicago! Each unit has a balcony which is a great feature. The kitchens are very modern and great appliances. Nice features throughout the apartment and I love that my unit has WD. Great pool, fitness, staff, and facilities!

River North Reviews

107 reviews
Absolutely loving it! People are always out and about and it is a great place to enjoy with your friends! It is also close to a bunch of other great neighborhoods and so if you want to venture out, it is really easy to do so!
Great neighborhood with lots to do and easy access to public transportation.
We love River North. It doesn't feel as commercialized as Streeterville or the Loop while still being in the thick of it. We can walk to nearly anything we could ever want. We visit the lakeshore trail and riverwalk regularly. Lincoln Park is a mile away, but that doesn't stop us from walking to the farmer's market on Saturdays (also passing the one on Division and Dearborn along the way).
I can't think of any other neighborhood in the country with as many great bars and restaurants in such close proximity. I've lived here over a year and am still exploring new spot within two blocks of my building. The river is also two blocks away which provides for a fantastic place to walk or run. Only downside is there is no full-service gym in the neighborhood.. only boutique workout options like Soul Cycle.
It is very hustle and bustle but the energy is amazing! The dining options are 2nd to none and there is always something new to explore. The walking score of this neighborhood is 100% in my eyes - starbucks, jewel, whole foods, nail salons, walgreens, red line stop, bus stops, endless shopping, eye doctors, etc... you can literally walk everywhere you need to go.
So close to the loop, it's easy to get anywhere. All stations and lines are connected and are a short walk between each other, and buses are frequent with many stops.
It's a sort of business district, so you're in the middle of all the skyscrapers, but they're all beautiful and nothing seems to block out the light. The riverwalk is gorgeous, and is especially fun to walk along on summer nights. It feels safe and secure.
There are so many places to go out to eat, we're spoilt for choice. That said, the cost of living downtown is pretty high. As much as with any big city like Chicago, e.g. New York.
While there is a lot of street traffic, including slow-walking people tourists/suburbanites at their phones and trying to figure where they are going, the neighborhood has incredible amenities all within walking distances - Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Jewel all within three blocks of each other; plus incredible restaurants and bars running the gamut from packed and trendy to divey gems. Great mix of young professionals, young families, and a surprising number of retirees
Apartment is beautifull. They fix everything and deal with everything right away when its needed. It is beautiful. But where building located is very noise and it is very hard to deal with it when you come home very tired and waking up few times a night doesnt help the other day
