MPP is conveniently located and has everything you absolutely need to survive. There are no frills or extra bells and whistles, but if you just need a place to live around people you like and know, MPP is for you.

Decent option in the loop

I think MPP offers great value for Booth students.

Apartment is clean and spacious
Multiple elevators, but sometimes there is a wait
Laundry on S-Floor next to business center with printer
Ok view of Michigan ave and really nice rooftop
Ok gym...we have a pool, but I have yet to use it

I don’t feel safe living in this building anymore. The building is clearly very old and it is not well maintained. The walls are paper thin and the insulation is terrible (my apartment does not get above 65 in the winter). There are layers and layers of dirt and dust and weird smells everywhere.

The gym is not impressive - no free weights and machines are constantly breaking. Also no internet or cell service in the gym.

Oh, and the elevators are constantly breaking, which management shows a dangerous disregard for.

DO NOT MOVE HERE.

We just moved in a month ago, and have had a great experience so far. The internet is very good and included in rent, and the unit has beautiful wood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Our electric bill is the only utility bill we pay, and it was extremely affordable for July. It really is a beautiful apartment! The building itself is older, but the units are newly renovated. Amazing dishwasher, so much counter space, an ideal apartment for entertaining. People love coming over and are always astounded by our south east/west view of the Bean, Millenium Park, Grant Park, Michigan Ave, and the lake.

We just moved into Millenium Park Plaza about a month ago, and we have had a great experience so far. While the apartment building itself is older, the units are all newly renovated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. The natural light is incredible and we have an astonishing view of Millenium Park, Michigan Ave, the Bean, and the Lake.

+good location : easy to go everywhere by public transportation
+cheap food options
+safe area
+close to the park
+big windows
but
-poor sound proof system
-very slow elevator w/ limited capacity
-some mgmt. staff are not friendly
-very old building

The apartment is very spacious with good views, good flooring, good sunlight windows, security is good, amenities are great, views are great, ambiance is great, people are good, little noisy, prime location, very convenient, clean, friendly neighborhood.

The management team and door staff are entirely incompetent, rude, and
not personable. However, I enjoy living a 5 minute walk from my office for such a low price. The amenities are sufficient and I enjoy the rooftop views of Millennium Park and the lake. However, I regularly come home with several bags of groceries and the door staff won't press a button at their desk to open the door for me because "I have a key and hands so I can put my groceries down and open it myself", which I think is rude to say to a resident.
