Elevators have been down- should be great when fixed

I love the unit, it’s been quiet and I haven’t had any problems getting packages or deliveries. The only reason the rating isn’t higher is because the elevators keep breaking down and it’s been very inconvenient while they are working to upgrade all the elevators. It has not been communicated well and it’s difficult to tote laundry down to the basement without the maintenance elevator.

Great vintage find in the heart of Chicago

40 E Oak is easily one of the best places I've lived. With its vintage charm and attentive staff, I couldn't ask for more. The building is kept nice and clean. There are great amenities like a gym, 24hr doorman, and Internet access included in rent.

Original Crown Molding, comfy and cozy

I absolutely love living at 40 E. Oak. It is prime location for shopping, site seeing, restaurants, bars, and best of all the lakefront. My only complaint was that they were raising the rent and asking me to leave exactly one year from my initial move in date. I would've most definitely committed to another year of living had they spoke to me and negotiated something. I have no complaints as far as service and maintenance.

Beautiful building, lots of light

This apartment is really lovely and the floor plans are unique. Some of the paint is chipping off the walls, but the building is very old so thats not altogether unsurprising. Management seems scattered but they are helpful when needed. Huge windows, and rooftop deck are a plus.

Gold Coast is the best neighborhood to me at. Perfect location, right down town with tons to do!
Reviewed by Working Professional living at 1350-1360 Lake Shore Drive
I absolutely love living in this area. You can't beat having the lake on one side and million dollar homes on the other. It's also so convenient to get to work - I hop on the 151 which picks up right outside of the building and goes straight down Michigan ave within 2 blocks of my office. You're also close enough to bars/restaurants in Old Town and Clark/Division but far enough away to avoid all the noise and people.

Elm Street has plenty of walk-ups and has a nice neighborhood feel to it although it's only a couple minutes walk from the Mag mile. Close to plenty of good restaurants and fun bars of Gold Coast/Old Town
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at 1415 North Dearborn Condos
The neighborhood is really active with shops, restaurants, bars, and gyms all within a mile radius. The night life is really convenient being so close to division and wells street.

Extremely dog friendly. 2 blocks to Oak St or North Ave beaches. Half hour walk to LP zoo, 15 min to Mag Mile. Beautiful landscaping all around. Can't be beat.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at 40 E Oak
The Gold Coast is definitely and expensive neighborhood. While there are many expensive restaurants, bars, and shops, it is a great, central location.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at Towers
Great neighborhood. Best in the city! Super close to Jewel and the el. You can walk to the loop or old town if you want to go out.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at 1400 N Lake Shore Drive
Amazing people, gorgeous views, and close to everything. Gold Coast is my favorite Chicago neighborhood to live in.
