value for the location

conveniently located near grant park. if you have a dog, the south loop area is way more dog friendly than the loop near millenium park. this location means you'll use the museum campus metra stop, one stop before the millenium metra stop. if you take the campus shuttle there are two convenient stops nearby. one downside here is having to pay for laundry on site, no in-unit laundry option is available but internet IS included with your rent.

Park michigan- Great Location!

What an amazing place! So close to all of the shopping centers, nearby a grocery store, right next to a CTA station. Absolutely wonderful, super convenient and nothing but positives to say :D. The only thing that I wish would change is the temperature control--during the summer, the apartment gets painfully hot.

Park Michigan- Would highly recommend

I absolutely love living at Park Michigan. It is close to the L, grocery stores, entertainment, and many great restaurants! The staff here is always easy to reach and very helpful. Maintenance is amazing. I highly recommend it! The only things I wish I could change is the price for parking. I do wish there was a pool/hot tub. However, the location, views, and amazing amount of sunlight make up for it!

Park Michigan (South Loop)

I enjoy living here very much. It is close to many forms of public transportation and taking the #2 bus makes it easy to get to and from school. The downside of living here is that without a car the commute to school can sometimes be difficult.

Overpriced, but Great Location and Friendly Staff

The location of Park Michigan is excellent, right at the border of the Loop and South Loop, which allows easy access to many different transit options, including an express bus to the law school. Trader Joes, Jewel Osco, and Walgreens are all next door. Whole Foods, a movie theater, and Target are all within walking distance.

The apartment istelf is not particularly nice. The views are fantastic, and corner units get an incredible view and amount of light. However, finishes are cheap, ceilings are a bit low, and carpet is extremely cheap. Windows do not open enough to get a breeze. The HVAC units are horrible, old, and heat on electricity, so they are very expensive to run in winter.. The units and hallways are extremely clean.

Staff is excellent. Management is kind and accomodating, particularly Mark Mybeck. Maintenance staff are extremely friendly and do a great job. The front door staff do a good job keeping the building secure.

All around solid South Loop spot

Nothing in particular stands out about Park Michigan, but everything is pretty solidly good. South loop is a great area, and PM is perfectly positioned in it; it's a block from the L, and right across the street from the park. The apartments themselves are nice, with big wraparound windows and comfortably sized rooms (and big closets!). The gym is pretty solid for a small city gym (it's a SnapFitness, so it's better than just a normal apt gym would be). Notably, PM is a block from both a Trader Joe's and a Jewel Osco. All around, it's a great place to live.

Great Location, Great Building

Perfect location for a U Chicago student, since it is very close to the 2 Express bus to Hyde park (just an 18 minute ride). Love the gym, love how it's close to the CTA station and plenty of restaurants/bars/stores. And we even have a view of Lake Michigan!

The downsides: On the expensive end for a one-bedroom. Worst is the fact that the heating is an electric wall unit in each room that is very inefficient and relatively costly - the electric bill for the winter months is over $100 (non-winter months it was more like $35).

Overall, really like the building!

Good price for what you get

Park Michigan Apartments are a great option for law students. The building amenities are well-tailored for busy people. The building collaborates with Pressbox, a dry cleaning service that does two day dry cleaning. You can drop off and pick up whenever you want. The front desk accepts packages so you don't have to be home. The gym is 24-hours. Best of all, the building is about a 3 minute walk to a Trader Joes, a Jewel, and the Red/Orange/Green lines. It's about a 5 minute walk to the 2 bus, which runs express to Chicago Law School in the morning and afternoons. It's a great place to live to be close to school but also close to downtown.

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.
