<3 Lakeshore East

Love the location, it's a bit quieter than MPP/MILA but only a few minutes walk away. The kitchen isn't SUPER nice and there's no fan in the bathroom but for 2yr MBA purposes it's great.

Great spot off the beaten path

Quiet relaxed vibe. Very good amenities with a sauna, steam room, indoor hot tub, lap pool, gym, and study/work rooms. Direct Pedway access underground to the metra. Located right across from Gleacher. All apartments have balconies and great views.

Luxury apt in Lakeshore East - very high quality for the money

I am so thrilled that I chose to live at Coast. I got a massive one bedroom for approximately $500 less per month than the equivalent at Mila, 73 East, or Millie.

This has the most closet space I've ever had after living in many different apartments. Utilities includes internet, there is a luxury gym + sauna, steam room, and pool, and great conference centers for working time. Also, every single unit has a balcony, and it has a gorgeous view of the river/lake from both sides of the building. I have a dog, who also loves it here, and there is a dog daycare business right on the first floor within the building (also a nail salon!)

I also just take the elevator down to L1, and I'm able to go directly to the Pedway -- on cold Chicago days I don't even need to go outside to get to the train!Highly recommend this building!

Units aren’t as fancy as the building is.

Can get these units for a bit cheaper price if you book during unpopular months. Parking is extra $300 for non-dedicated spots and $360 for dedicated spots. Overall, a decent option.

Love living here! Great if you have a partner who is not a Boothie - you're close to everything, but they have a little space.

Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Tides
Very secure and tranquil. Very close to public transportations. Namely millennium station which I use to ride the Metra trains to campus.
Very close to the lake and navy pier
Great park surrounded by all the buildings.
There’s good supermarket that has everything. A couple restaurants and coffee shops are also there.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Mila
Amazing place to have a social life! It is super close to Gleacher and to where recruiting events take place. Most Boothies live in this area and that helps creating a nice community. West loop with amazing restaurants is 2 metro stops/5min uber. TNDCs also happen walking distance. Its also where most touristic attractions are so its great for when friends/family visit you.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Millennium Park Plaza
Safe neighborhood and good because it’s where most Booth students live but it’s a little sterile esp at night. Lots of tourists around. I would not live in this neighborhood if most other students didnt live here. However it is convenient to get to most places around chicago. In the middle of everything
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Columbus Plaza Apartments
Columbus plaza is on the quieter side, a few blocks away from Michigan. Tides and park millennium are even quieter but lack the river views that CP offers. It can be a bit too empty at night, which may be of concern to some. Most of the nearby restaurants in the pedway focus on serving office workers so they close around 6pm. Great access to river walk for running or biking.
Reviewed by Northwestern Medill Student living at 215 West
The Loop has pros and cons. Living in the Loop is nice because during the day up until about 8 p.m. there are people walking around the streets which is nice because you feel more secure walking. However, on weekends and after a certain time at night it empties and it can be a little eerie.

That being said, if you're anywhere near State St. or the Mag mile, there's pretty much people around at any given hour. It's fun to live downtown because the streets are bustling with interesting people, sometimes there's live music on street corners and there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at The Tides
Beautiful area in a great location with a dog park, playground, and full service grocery store in short walking distance. Restaurants and transit are just ok in this area, but not a bad walk to the "L" and that opens up the restaurant options. No close-by childcare for kids under preschool age, but great preschool and private elementary school, with high price tags. Ubers often find this place impossible to locate due to GPS's going crazy with the multiple layers of Wacker, Randolph, Columbus, and East South Water Street.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Pittsfield Building
The Loop is an unlikely place to live but I love it. You are in the heart of the city, close to every L line possible, very good restaurants and walking distance to River North without paying River North prices for apartments. Apartments are smaller throughout the neighborhood but if you are an urbanite and don't mind limited closet space you will love it here. Mostly everyone is walking distance to work.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Oakwood 200 Squared
Great location close to blue, brown, green, pink, orange and red lines. 10 minute walk to State St., 5-10 minutes to River North, 15 minutes to Michigan Avenue. Grocery stores aren't really walkable but most people in the building use PeaPod/Instacart. Safe to walk around at night. A lot of new restaurants (quick service) opening in the area.
