| - Coming from NYC and already living in a high-rise, Bridgeview is ok. I've lived here for three years now. Tenants are usually young professionals. Walls are thin, so you can hear your neighbors sometimes. Indoor parking is ok if you have a small car, otherwise an SUV or larger will have trouble parking with the closely spaced and wide pillars. Alternative covered parking across the street is available and cheaper. You are limited to DirecTV for cable. That means if there is a rain/snowstorm, your cable will go out. If you're a sports fan, this may be a problem. This happened to me during the Superbowl and I could do nothing about it. Sid, the doorman is really nice and takes his job seriously and he remembers your name. The newer hires are young and usually chatting on the phone and watching shows on their ipads. Packages are received and notification is sent to you via email and text. Coldroom is available if receiving groceries or flowers by mail, but whether they are stored there is at the discretion of who is at the front desk. There isn't always a doorman at the front desk ie doorman does not equal security guard. There's a gym (treadmills, ellipticals, mats) and weight room included with rent. Rent has increased $40/month every year since living here. Laundry room is available. In-house washer and dryer is available for additional fee. Maintenance requests and rent are paid online. Utilities are paid on the same website with a different username which is unnecessarily inconvenient.
Regarding response to service requests, it depends. Emergent requests are dealt with in a timely fashion. This includes clogged toliets. Personally, I have reported pipes leaking in the hallway, leaving puddles of water. Management responded that this was nothing to worry about. The pipes ran to the garage? Nevermind the mold and damage to the infrastructure of the building the water. I put in a second request, this time stating this was a hazard. Someone could slip and fall. Response: placement of a bucket. Two years later, I have 2 buckets in my hallway. What's wrong with fixing the pipes? This is also Cleveland and the Bridgeview house quite a few tenants. There is a lot of foot traffic through the front door. There's just one skinny floor mat, which is sufficient for sunny days. If it rains or snows, this foyer becomes a slip and slide. With the annual rent increase, why not invest in a larger floor mat or several floor mats?
I obviously liked the place enough to stay. It's an extremely convenient location. Walking distance from a large number of good restaurants, bars, Quicken loans arena and the two stadiums, Playhouse district and casino. There's a grocery store next door with beer, wines, cheese, and basic essentials. The river is just behind the building with a nice patch of grass and walking path. Tower city has a mini mall, the casino, and a train station that can take you directly to the airport. I would say it's a safe area. Police patrol this area frequently bec of the nightlife. Traffic picks up during rush hour, sporting events, and marathons. Compared to NYC, it's no biggie. Trash chutes available on every other floor. Recycling is available behind Mallorca restaurant if you're so inclined. Management also through a few social events every year with food and booze. And the place is pet friendly with doggie treats at the front desk and dog waste bags at the front door.
