235 Van Buren Review

Upsides: nice well maintained high rise building. We rent a condo from the owner. Very easy to get to Hyde park via express bus and very easy to get to the rest of the city via L or bus. Multiple grocery stores within 10-20 minute walking distance. Paid parking on site. Downsides: neighborhood is mostly business oriented and closes down early during the week and most restaurants are not open on the weekend.

Conveniently Located Condo Building

Units in this building are either owner-occupied or rented by owner, about 50/50. The building is well maintained, doorman/security, secure package delivery, small grocer and men's hair salon on ground level, secure parking garage for an extra fee. The building is located right on the river at the southern boundary of the Loop. It is a 7 minute walk to the 2 and 6 buses which are convenient to get to Hyde Park (apt->law school on the 2 takes about 30 minutes if you time it right). It is a 5-10 minute walk to stops for nearly every L line and a metra stop. There's not a lot going on right around the building, but it's very easy to get anywhere else in the city. Biggest knock is that the nearest full-service grocery store is about a 15 minute walk away.

2 bedroom at 235 W Van Buren

The building is very secure and well kept. Being a condominium there are no units that are managed by the building. It is a random experience on your experience with the apartment owner.

Internal access to grocery and dry cleaner is very nice especially in cold weather.

Van Buren double room

I really like the location(Metra, CTA, highways...), it is easy to get anywhere. Also great for museums, parks, theaters.
The building is nice, the stuff is great.
I do not like that the service elevator is often not available, it's hard to get down with my bike.

235 W Van Buren Condo

Great price for 2 bedrooms in the loop - close to all major transportation, quiet building and neighborhood. It is also pet friendly. It is a relatively new and modern building and affordable than most buildings in the neighborhood. Only downside is that management has strict policies about moving in and out of the building, and fees are very high.

The Loop Reviews

267 reviews
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.
Loop is central and great to get to other neighborhoods. Quick train access to Hyde Park (35min door to seat). Mostly MBA students in building
Feels like a neighborhood even though you are in the heart of the city
The Loop is great because it is so easy to get anywhere in the city! Also, we are next to many cool sights, and River North is very walkable.
Location is central to everything and with majority of students living here, hard to envision living elsewhere during Booth
Great access to stores, restaurants, and excellent transit to get anywhere in Chicago you may want to go to!
Location is good in terms of transit proximity. The loop is not a great area for food/activities but river north is very close and has grocery stores/restaurants, etc.
It’s the loop. It’s full of tourists, but all my friends live here. Trade offs are everywhere. Sooooo close to train (under rated).
