Studio apartment at 424 W Diversey

So far my experience here has been great. The location is wonderful right near Lincoln Park and located really close to public transportation and lots of shopping. The apartment is extremely small but well kept, the building has a small gym and rooftop, and I haven't encountered any issues. I haven't had to utilize maintenance yet so I don't have feedback on responsiveness of management, but in the few months I've lived here I've had a good experience.

Descent Place to live for a year

Overall BJB Properties was a good experience. There were 2 main things that annoyed me about my studio apartment. 1 - There was very little sunlight. Many of the units face the east but the hospital blocks all of the sun, making the small studio apartments like a cave. 2 - There was always a smell of smoke and weed in the hallway. The apartment doesn't allow smoking anywhere (per the lease) but they apparently never enforced it.

There is a front desk person from 5-1am so overall it feels pretty safe.

Pretty Good

I like the location the best, but the price is a little high. We are right next to bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. One negative is that there is no parking. The management is very responsive and respect their tenants very much. So overall a good experience.

Good!

I found this place when I needed it quickly, the leasing office was very helpful with the process and the managment has being great. Every time there's a complaint, they always find a way to make it better. The only thing is that the apartments in the property are very small which intails me listening to everything that's going on with the neighboor (but thats what you get for leaving in a city apartment). Otherwise, good place to live, great neighborhood, close to work, etc. Couldn't ask for more!

Lakeview Reviews

I mostly chose to live in Lakeview because I wanted to be walking distance from the Synagogues. But I really love the area. It's definitely city, but there's still some grass/trees. The main areas are exciting and alive, but the side streets are still pretty quiet. It really has character, and it's got both Wrigleyville for the sports bar scene and the whole Northalsted (previously known as boystown) scene as well. Much more bang for your buck than a streeterville apartment. Depending on where exactly you live you'd either take the train or the bus to streeterville, but either way your commute is probably 30-40 minutes, which isn't so bad. Unless you have a car, in which case your commute is more like 10-15 minutes
With COVID, I haven't been out much but I love Lakeview's access to the lake front and restaurants. Unlike Woodlawn, where I used to live, there are plenty of grocery stores within walking distance (10 minutes or less). In the fall and spring, I can also bike down the lake front path to school, which is a really pretty and relaxed way to commute.
Lake view is an excellent neighborhood to be a young professional. Easy access to downtown if you work there, yet has the neighborhood feel that separates work from home.
Quieter / more family oriented neighborhood but still with plenty of bars/restaurants in walking distance.
Great place to live and easy commute to Streeterville. Lots of green space, restaurants, and safe.
My wife and I couldn't imagine living in any neighborhood other than Lakeview.
The main reason we moved here was the neighborhood. Broadway, Clark, Diversey and Belmont are all within walking distance and offer all of the shops, restaurants, bars and grocery stores you could need. It really is in a prime, unbeatable location. Not to mention it's a block from Lake Michigan and walking distance to Lincoln Park and a short bike ride from Montrose Beach.
My street and neighborhood are usually fairly quiet. Sundays seem to be the going out day in the neighborhood but it isn't disruptive to my every day life. Overall it seems like a very safe area and being a young woman living alone, that is very important. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
