Love this place

The view is amazing, as we have a view of the downtown skyline and lake. The location for class is also great as it’s a 12 minute drive to campus. The only negative is it’s next to the train but you get used to it/can get a unit that doesnt border the EL

Great Apartment, Odd Amenities

I love my apartment, but the amenities are a little odd. There are small amenities on each floor instead of having one floor with all of the amenities together. There is an indoor pool and sauna/steam room, great fitness center and outdoor deck with grills. Those are my favorite parts.

Convinient Comfort

Astoria Tower is a wonderful place to call home! The location is great with lots to do and see just outside my door. The amenities are great and I love working out in the indoor pool. There is a nice sundeck that we love to BBQ with friends at and lots of our friends live in the building as well, which is a major perk!

Great apartment , decent location

Astoria Tower is in a decent location in South Loop but it is one of the better luxury apartments in Chicago. It is new so facilities and appliances are not run down like the apartments in the North side of downtown. Gym, swimming pool and parking is great. Public transport is walking distance.

Great place to live

Astoria Tower is a great place to live. The building layout is good and it is walking distance from Grant Park , and Millenium park.
South loop generally doesn't have a cool vibe to it, so there is not much to do in this part of the loop. Management is great

Love My Home

I have lived at Astoria tower for quite some time now, and the overall experience has been great. I love the residents, certainly the happiest high-rise I have lived in. The amenities are the real kicker. I love the office space and rooftops. I will be living here as long as I am in Chicago.

Excellent building

I love Astoria Tower. The units are really great. Our kitchen appliances are high quality and the floor to ceiling windows ensure that we have an amazing view of the city. The building staff is also incredibly friendly (rare, I know)!

South Loop Reviews

109 reviews
As a single woman it was very important for me to live in an area that was safe given that the medical school schedule will require me to come home at night. Also it gives me great peace of mind to live in a building with doormen 24/7 in case anything were to happen. However, this has come at at a great cost.
Quite a number of nice bars and restaurants within walking distance. Groceries also (Target, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods about 15 minutes by foot; small local shop about 3 mins). Bus stop to go to the university about 10 mins away (number 2, Hyde Park Express).
I really like South Loop. It is definitely an older crowd (young 30s and up) which suited me better - it has families and schools but still feels close to downtown which I really enjoy. Lots going on close by and lots of grocery stores too.
South Loop is quieter than the Loop, but you will get more space. Ideal for parents, people with partners that work remotely, or people looking for more space for their money. Outside of Bears games, has far fewer tourists to deal with than the Loop.
Across Michigan Ave from Grant Park. 10-minute walk from the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field.
Roosevelt station is very close by and incredibly convenient if you don't mind taking the train or buses, but it is a transit hub, so expect increased numbers and variety of people.
Not far from the rest of the Loop, and you can still easily make your way north for study groups and social events.
I literally love living in the south loop. I can walk practically anywhere
less of a tourist trap than streeterville, still downtown atmosphere. There's a cozy little neighborhood full of townhouses that's nice for a walk.
Pros: Central to all major forms of transport, proximity to downtown, museums, and activities

Cons: Proximity to all major inbound train tracks increases the noise level. Proximity to Roosevelt Road which is high-traffic, treeless, and not bike-friendly.
It's a fine location. Not great, not horrible. I like a lot of other neighborhoods better but this is closer to school.
