Love it

Amazing building; the management and management are very receptive and will fix anything immediately if needed, lots of nice free events, amazing gym and pool/amenity floor. In unit washer and dryers. Only an 11 year old building so everything is very new and clean; No pest issues unlike a lot of the other student buildings. Lovely view of the lake. Very close to campus. Planning to live here all 4 years. Very quiet too, I’ve never heard anything from any of the other apartments through the walls or ceiling. Can control your own temperature

Lovely building

Very wonderful building. Great staff, close to school, great gym, great view. Honestly it is a dream to live here. It is expensive so I share with my sister and that brings us down to paying about 1600$ each per month to share about 700 square feet which is plenty for us but depends if you would want more space.

Lovely building

I love living here and the staff and amenities are great. It is expensive for students so usually better if you can share the rent with someone.

Lovely building, well managed and great facilities but expensive

The building is new and well managed. The staff are nice. The gym is great. There are a lot of people you can pet or babysit for. There is a pool in the summer. It is lovely but the cost is quite high.

Great building, awful management

The amenities are better than any other building I have ever rented in. The management is so awful. They never budge with you on anything and stick to their process. They hid construction, eliminated dog parks, increased rent (just to decrease it online)

Most Amazing Apartment I've Ever Rented

I recently moved from New York (so my standards are skewed a little), but this apartment has exceeded everything! I knocked it down a point because sometimes the elevators can be slow. The gym, the pool, the view and the actual apartment are gorgeous and very well maintained. Management is very responsive and the doormen are friendly and kind. It's a dream!

500 North Lake Shore Drive is the BEST place to live

500 North Lake Shore Drive has outstanding door service, amazing amenities, and immaculate grounds. The pool and hot tub are always in perfect condition, as is the rest of the building. The doormen are not only friendly, but also extremely helpful. You absolutely cannot hear your neighbors like in most apartment buildings.

LOVE this building.

Love it

I am one of those people who likes to always keep an eye out for other apartment buildings in the area just in case something better comes along. I want to keep my options open. BUT I must say that doing so has only re-affirmed my decision to stay at 500 Lake Shore Drive. The staff is amazing and it's pretty much the most dog-friendly building you could ever imagine. If you are a dog owner or just a dog lover it is impossible to have a bad day here bc the dogs just light up the building with personality. I can't see myself being able to leave this place for a while. We have lived here 2+ years now and intend to stay here for at least several more years.

River East Reviews

42 reviews
It's tough in the summer with all of the tourists running in and out of Navy Pier. Lakeshore also floods right outside of the building, but it's always bustling and it feels safe. It's great to have the Target right down the street and several grocery stores in the neighborhood.
Streeterville is essentially a more remote (and better smelling) River North. Close to Navy Pier, so can be congested in the summer. Right on the river, which is great. Right down the road from Northwestern Medical and law school, so pretty safe neighborhood overall.
Just removed from the center of mass for Booth students, Streeterville offers an outstanding neighborhood to call home during your two years. Getting on the #2 or 6 buss makes commuting to Harper just as easy as taking the train.
Streeterville is a super convenient neighborhood - the building is right next to Whole Foods, Target, drug stores, etc. Everything you need is right here. It's not very close to the L is the only drawback.
I like the Streeterville neighborhood so far, there is a good amount of grocery stores and restaurants. My only complaint is that there is limited El train lines in the area.
Streeterville is great. Biggest benefit is being able to walk to school/work. I generally feel safe and it's fun being so close to the lake.
So much to do in Streeterville and it is close to the river and the beaches. Lots of dogs walking around. Very safe neighborhood as well.
The food is excellent (albeit pricey at times!) And the neighborhood itself feels very safe even late at night walking home.
