Studio apartment at 424 W Diversey

So far my experience here has been great. The location is wonderful right near Lincoln Park and located really close to public transportation and lots of shopping. The apartment is extremely small but well kept, the building has a small gym and rooftop, and I haven't encountered any issues. I haven't had to utilize maintenance yet so I don't have feedback on responsiveness of management, but in the few months I've lived here I've had a good experience.

Descent Place to live for a year

Overall BJB Properties was a good experience. There were 2 main things that annoyed me about my studio apartment. 1 - There was very little sunlight. Many of the units face the east but the hospital blocks all of the sun, making the small studio apartments like a cave. 2 - There was always a smell of smoke and weed in the hallway. The apartment doesn't allow smoking anywhere (per the lease) but they apparently never enforced it.

There is a front desk person from 5-1am so overall it feels pretty safe.

Pretty Good

I like the location the best, but the price is a little high. We are right next to bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. One negative is that there is no parking. The management is very responsive and respect their tenants very much. So overall a good experience.

Good!

I found this place when I needed it quickly, the leasing office was very helpful with the process and the managment has being great. Every time there's a complaint, they always find a way to make it better. The only thing is that the apartments in the property are very small which intails me listening to everything that's going on with the neighboor (but thats what you get for leaving in a city apartment). Otherwise, good place to live, great neighborhood, close to work, etc. Couldn't ask for more!

Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at 905 W Irving Park Road
I'm technically at the intersection of Lakeview, Buena Park, and Wrigleyville so I feel like I get a mix of all three neighborhoods in my day to day. Buena Park is much more family oriented and a bit more affordable, but it is small so finding an apartment there is tricky. Lakeview is very good for young professionals and pets but is definitely pricier. Wrigleyville is even more expensive, but has good nightlife and restaurants. All three are super easy to access transit from and get to the Chicago campus.

I love how convenient the location is. There's a ton of great restaurants really close by, so many bus lines right around the corner or within a 5 minute walk, and Lincoln Park right across the street. My commute downtown is only 15 minutes and there's also a bus available to get to the brown and purple L trains. There's a Mariano's, Trader Joe's, and Target all within 10 minute walking distance so shopping is very convenient. I generally feel really safe walking in this area as the streets are busy and well lit.

Similar crowd (young professionals), close to the lake, parks nearby, safe, accessible grocery stores and shops and restaurants.

Quiet, very residential, mostly families because of the great CPS schools nearby

Lakeview is a great spot for young professionals and those looking for an active social life. The area comes alive in the summer with baseball games and is not far from beaches and great shopping and eating areas.
Reviewed by Rush Med Student living at 3923 N Pine Grove Ave
Lakeview has plenty of beautiful, tree-lined neighborhoods and a robust bar and restaurant scene. It is a destination neighborhood with tons of boutiques, Wrigley Field, and a welcoming environment. I chose to live here because I am gay and wanted to have very easy, direct access to the lakefront path for running and biking.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at The Van Der Rohe Apartments
The main reason we moved here was the neighborhood. Broadway, Clark, Diversey and Belmont are all within walking distance and offer all of the shops, restaurants, bars and grocery stores you could need. It really is in a prime, unbeatable location. Not to mention it's a block from Lake Michigan and walking distance to Lincoln Park and a short bike ride from Montrose Beach.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at Elaine Place
My street and neighborhood are usually fairly quiet. Sundays seem to be the going out day in the neighborhood but it isn't disruptive to my every day life. Overall it seems like a very safe area and being a young woman living alone, that is very important. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
