Very Happy!

I don’t write reviews often but felt like it was time. My husband and I have been very happy living at the Lofts. It’s a beautiful building. We have lived here 4 years. During that time the building has always been kept clean and well maintained. We have found the management to be responsive, polite and helpful. When we have had to reach out regarding an issue management has always taken care of it quickly and fairly. Now that there are more entertainment choices at the property we may never leave!

Great Choice

My fiancée and I moved into the lofts about 4 months ago and love it. From the location, the neighbors and the staff we made a great choice.

The staff from the start as well as the maintenance and security staff are some of the nicest people we've worked with, they make it a pleasure living here.

Obviously the units are gorgeous, I think the biggest win for us is it's just cleaner here than when we lived in the loop (near Chicago Theater) and we are still in the heart of everything.

Love my Loft

I love living at Lofts at River East! My apartment is beautiful and has more space than I ever dreamed a downtown apartment would. I have my own laundry room! The location is great and there is a target inside the building, which has everything I need. The staff is always friendly and helpful!

Great Apartment and Building!

I’ve lived at the Lofts at River East now for over 2 years and love it! The building is awesome - I really like the loft look (original timbers, exposes brick, high ceilings, size of building, etc.) with modern kitchens and bathrooms. My favorite thing is my laundry room! I looked everywhere for an apartment in streeterville/river north/Gold Coast that has non-stacked washer and dryer and space to fold my clothes, Lofts at River East was the only one I could find. I feel like the apartment is a little louder than previous places I’ve lived, but it doesn’t bother me. I pay extra to be on the south-side of the building with a view and outdoor terrace. I think it’s worth it but if your more budget conscious the north side of the building is less expensive.

The building has nice amenities too! The fitness center is huge and includes free classes a couple times a week. They also just got pelotons. There is a waterfront lounge, game room, party room, movie room, and conference/computer area. The rooftop is huge and has fireplaces, grills, and a big tv with a grass lawn. No pool, which is kind of a bummer but the other items make up for it. Plus, there are restaurants, a coffee shop, and a Target in the building!

There is also an attached parking garage. You have to park on 11-15 which can be a little annoying when you’re in a rush, but you don’t ever have to go outside.

Overall, it’s not a perfect building/management company, but its my favorite place I’ve lived in Chicago so far. I would definitely recommend it!

It's tough in the summer with all of the tourists running in and out of Navy Pier. Lakeshore also floods right outside of the building, but it's always bustling and it feels safe. It's great to have the Target right down the street and several grocery stores in the neighborhood.
Close to grocery stores (Whole Foods and Treasure Island), Target Express opening later in 2015, about a 10 minute walk to red line subway but lots of nearby bus lines, LA Fitness and Planet Fitness are the closest gyms. Safe area with high foot traffic towards Navy Pier.
Love Streeterville. It's only getting better. More and more restaurants, bars, and cafes are moving in! We have everything we need in just a few blocks. Grocery store, Movie Theatre, Hospital, Lake Front Trail, Banks, Coffee shops, and food!
Streeterville is a super convenient neighborhood - the building is right next to Whole Foods, Target, drug stores, etc. Everything you need is right here. It's not very close to the L is the only drawback.
I like the Streeterville neighborhood so far, there is a good amount of grocery stores and restaurants. My only complaint is that there is limited El train lines in the area.
Streeterville is great. Biggest benefit is being able to walk to school/work. I generally feel safe and it's fun being so close to the lake.
So much to do in Streeterville and it is close to the river and the beaches. Lots of dogs walking around. Very safe neighborhood as well.
Just removed from the center of mass for Booth students, Streeterville offers an outstanding neighborhood to call home during your two years. Getting on the #2 or 6 buss makes commuting to Harper just as easy as taking the train.
