Atrio

Likely the closest apartment complex to Rush (3 blocks away aka <10 min walk) - perfect if you need/prefer to walk to school. Right across the street from Stroger as well. Also right off the IMD Blue Line stop (<10 min ride into the Loop), plus a Divvy station across the street. All utilities minus electric included, as well as a small gym (24/7), study lounge + rooms, and rooftop + lounge. There are a lot of different floor plans but most have top-down windows, which is a great feature. It's newly renovated and reopened 1.5 years ago, with a modern and toned-down feel. Parking is $250/mth and outdoors. $50/mth for pets I believe? They also just created dog-walking areas around the building.

Not a whole lot to do/explore nearby (biggest downside) and no grocery stores within walking distance, but a block down Ogden there is a small plaza with Starbucks, Chipotle, Panda Express, BDubs, and more. It's also not too far from Livingston Park where Rush students play flag football.

They have studios and 1/2/3-bedrooms here. Rent is on the pricier side but is discounted for some units through Chicago's ARO program (likely all occupied as of now), so definitely take a look into this to see if you qualify (also can be found for various apartment buildings throughout the city).

Management is pretty good and responsive but sometimes they'll ask you to crack the windows open when the central heating gets wonky.

Love the location and price

Fine since it is close to Rush but pretty meh in terms of rent price. Could find something better in the area.

I absolutely love how close the property is to campus. It feels great especially when we have to be on campus by 7:30 AM or I want to stop by to have lunch at home. However, there is a serious lack of restaurants and life around. It is difficult to get groceries if you don’t have a car. The closest one would be a train stop away at Target. Parking is also $250 a month for a spot. Most people here have to get it delivered. Also if you live on the south side of the building, BEWARE! It is an old building that was made to look new so the AC system can only give either hot or cold air for the entire building. In the spring and fall, some apartments will be very hot while others very cold. Currently it is end of November and my apartment has been in the 80s because it faces the sun all day. The building has switched to heat so my AC unit only gives hot air and there is nothing I can do about it. We have complained and they stated that they never withheld the information from us we simply did not ask, so they are not obligated to do anything. They recommend to open windows and use the blinds. However, the blackout blinds do not help with this and our apartment has only 1 window thats opens 4 inches. To end things on a positive note the maintenance people have been really helpful. They always respond in less than 24 hours. They are amazing.

Good deal if you want to be close to campus!

very close to campus however proximity to hospital keeps it noisy

If you don't like commuting, this is a good fit.

Been enjoying Atrio thus far. It is very close to Rush, which is quite convenient. The gym downstairs is definitely decent and nice to have access to. Wish there was a pool or balcony area. Not much to do in the area around IMD unfortunately, but close access to Blue and Pink lines is nice. Kitchen is definitely on the smaller side. In unit laundry is huge. Management and maintenance are very helpful. Feels generally safe. Lot of other students live here which is nice. No parking is rough though.

The main reason I chose Atrio was its proximity to campus and new amenities - both have lived up to the hype for me. Living in a one bed has provided me plenty of space, and management is extremely communicative. My one grievance with Atrio is that there isn't really a neighborhood, so there aren't many restaurants/bars around; however, it is very close to West Loop, Little Italy, and right on the Blue Line at the IMD station.

Lots of students live here and its very close to my school's campus. Love being able to get out of bed and straight to class. I wish there was a better food scene and a pool but its not far from west loop or little Italy at all.
