East Park Tower is generally a good place to live (close to the lake, easy access to transportation, clean), but has had a few issues recently. There has been a problem with staffing at the front desk at Del Prado (where packages are delivered), making it impossible to access mail when there is nobody there. The larger issue is the new entry system, which requires a phone to access and frequently malfunctions, leaving tenants stuck outside.

Great location, right across the street from the park and across the street from a bus stop that takes you to campus and downtown. Building is pet friendly, maintenance is responsive and building is very clean.

Rent is a lot lower compared to other buildings in the vicinity; apartments are spacious and updated

Super quiet and respectful neighbors

Not a lot of law students live here (could be a good thing or a bad thing lol)

Great view. renovated floor and huge size

Mac Apartments is great, they are prompt to answer any maintenance or management request.

My apartment is completely beautiful: crown molding, spacious, uninterrupted lake view from all rooms. The drawback is, of course, that it's not in the Loop with other Boothies. I recommend East Park Tower if you need your space from all the social action. You also need to have some money set aside each month for late night Uber rides from the Loop.

Nice spot, doing battle with the radiators a bit, but the renovated kitchen is lovely

The water sometimes shuts off during the middle of the night. This has happened several times. The staff does not give consistent answers to questions and it is unclear what the policy is regarding certain things. It is hard to reach the management staff at times.

Not great, but not bad. Not as modern as Regents or Shoreland, but quiet and great location on 53rd. MAC Management (so not good), but the maintenance guys on-site are very friendly and respond quickly.

Scheduled and unscheduled water shut offs happen frequently, requiring us to call services at 9pm to ask them to fix the pipes. Extensive water damage required constructing an entire wall, which was two days of work. MAC also got rid of the doorman at the front with no notice, despite advertising it as one of the perks of the building. Shower water temperature is not consistent--it runs from hot to cold though the knobs are not touched. Maintenance requests require days to fix. Overall, the worst apartment I have ever lived in.
