Great experience so far. Newly renovated units and amenities. 3 minute jog from the building door to the lakeshore path, and quick walk across the park to Mariano’s for groceries or to CVS pharmacy. The park is a quiet sanctuary from the busy Loop.

Only downside is a slight (10min) walk to the train for my commute. Otherwise a really great building with great amenities and management.

Great experience, silent apartment good amenities , great park and nearby green areas

Amazing location in the heart of Chicago with easy access to greenspace and local public transportation. In-house amenities are a small gym, pool, common area, sauna, and indoor hot tub. Biggest challenge here is it is somewhat difficult to find via the road if you (or an uber driver) haven't been before. It's a two-pipe temperature control system, so in the winter you only have the option for heat and vice versa for summer.

We love the lake shore east park area! Great space for a dog with the dog park nearby. Also very close to Mariano's. Ten min walk to the metra station. Cheapest place we could find with a balcony.

Great view. Best pricing per quality of the apartment nearby. Only downside to MPP is if you want to be in a building that 90% of the people are boothies. More parties and easier connections.
But closer to the supermarket, better view.

The neighborhood is safe.

The location is the best in Chicago no doubt. We’ve never had problems with out stay so far other than the fact that the kitchen appliances are of very low quality which is disappointing in a building like this.
The lights are also a problem. The living room and the bedroom are without ceiling lights which leaves you with a lot of table lamps.
The rent is obviously not very convenient. But understandable.
I should note that the building was just sold to a company called Waterton that’s going to manage the building too. I don’t know how that might change things.

We live in a convertible studio which has essentially the same square footage and layout as a 1 BDR minus the door. Some aspects of the apartment are dated (e.g., popcorn ceilings, no garbage disposal) but the price is great for the Lakeshore East neighborhood.

Pros: Lakeshore east is easily the best place to live with pets with a beautifully landscaped park and a dog run. Amazing location with easy access to lakefront and riverwalk. About as close as you can get to Marianos (grocery store). Easy access to 90/290. Takes about 20 min to drive to campus. Very low noise compared to MPP/73E/MILA. Easy pedway access to get to Starbucks, metra, dunkin, Lakeshore gym. Feels safe.

Cons: no in-ceiling lighting in living room and bedrooms. About a 10-12 min walk to the metra (through pedway). About a 10-12 min walk to MPP/73E/MILA where most Booth students live.
