Expensive but worth it

For a couple, it really does make a lot of sense to spring for a true 1BR in 73 -- we have space, storage (huge), and a real bedroom door which makes our different schedules a lot easier to manage (like when I stumble in late on a Thursday). The building amenities are great (steam room!) and the leasing/front desk staff are amazing, highly recommend.

Great amenities but difficult management

Everything is super convenient at 73 East Lake and there are a lot of amenities. However, management is difficult to work with and aren't clear with community rules sometimes and arbitrarily enforces them. Rent can fluctuate from year to year.

Amazing Apartment Building with no so Great Love for Booth Studens

Love 73 East Lake. Please be aware as a Booth student that management is not too fond of Boothies and makes it hard to rent or reserve common areas for events etc. They have also started taking down concessions or other rent deals when they know Booth students will be looking to rent (late summer). Outside of this issue, I love the building.

Good decision

Best amenities and the location is also great, the building is always clean and management is friendly and supportive. It is definitely not the cheapest but on my mind it is worth the extra dollars.

Fantastic, but pricey

I couldn't ask for anything more out of 73. Coming from New York and living with a partner who works, it made the most sense for us. It is a little on the expensive side, but the units are well laid out, large, and really well built. One disclaimer is that the leasing office is pretty worthless and can never really help you out how you'd like them to. They have no control/idea how unit prices will change or when units will become available so getting the unit was a pain.

Modern and reliable maintenance

It is a really modern and well kept building with a gym, pool and hot tub. It’s also reliable as far as maintenance and most interactions have been positive.

Amazing

The apartment is beautiful and things are really easy in the building. I would say that outside of Marquee, it's the nicest building in the Loop. The pool amenities are paramount.

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.
