Loved Living Here

I had such a wonderful time at 639 Grace. The building was clean and management was always prompt to address my requests.

The place is in a great location, the maintenance staff is super friendly! And I like that they clean the building almost every morning, they mop the floors and dust in the entry way and laundry room.

Awesome!

I have really enjoyed living here! The staff is super attentive, friendly, kind and always timely with any maintenance needs or questions I have. My neighbors are lovely and friendly. The gym is perfect for my needs here, residents are polite and stick to gym rules, and everything else is great! I am lucky to live here and have such a pleasant experience! Thanks for doing a great job!

Great spot!

I love my little apartment at Grace! The unit is updated with a beautiful kitchen and has more storage than I need. The price for the location is great, there's nothing not to like! The management and maintenance have always been friendly and quick to reply. I've been here a couple of years and the whole process has been very easy for me since the beginning.

Safe building, but facilities need updating

The facilities seemed great when we first signed, but after using the gym and laundry spaces, they are very poorly maintained. Water is being CONSTANTLY shut off which is annoying since I work nights and am home during the day. Will not be staying.

Review of 655 W Grace

Apartment itself is great - very big, nice lighting. The management company is horrible. They turn off the water several days a week from 9am-5pm and are not responsive to phone calls. I would love the apartment if I did not have to deal with the horrible, rude property management group. Also, the gym is falling apart so it is not totally usable.

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.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at The Van Der Rohe Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at Elaine Place
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.
