I lived here for almost 3 years. I moved out in 2005. The apartments were okay, and it was nice to have my own washer & dryer. But after a while my cool neighbors moved out and the noisy, trashy ones moved in. A couple fights and many miserable, sleepless nights later, I moved.
They never gave me my remote control (for the gate) deposit back. *grump*
It's a good location if you're going to the Art Institute, since it's easy walking distance. But be attentive about that walk, or try not to do it alone at night... that area can get a little rough. I experienced a few interesting police-related incidents, one of which involved a helicopter (which yelled at me) and the other involved police dogs being let loose on the grounds.
