Presidential Towers

Its a solid space, very nice five minute walk to campus. On the expensive side, but you're paying to have no commute.

Good

The space is comfortable and consistent. I did not give it a higher rating for a couple of reasons. The first and most prominent is that the leasing office is inconsistent with communication. If you are not already living here, they take a long time to answer emails (or sometimes don't at all) and hardly answer the phone. We worked with a leasing agent to actually get this done because the PT leasing office was nonresponsive.

As a resident, I have very little to complain about. Sometimes, the building can be smelly in certain areas, but other than that, it is awesome! I love how quickly maintenance responds to work orders. I love that there is always security at the two main desk lobbies. I love that there are restaurants connected to the apartments throughout the building.

cleaning, living convenient, near the college

there is professional management and cleaning environment.
near the apartment we can walk to some big grocery store and college in 5 minutes.
If you live in a high floor, you'd probably see amazing scenery of skyscraper or splendid sunset.
But there isn't washing machine for single room. What's more the walls are thin that I could listen what my neighbor saying

Cheap and Easy

PT is fairly cheap for the location and in a VERY safe area. The management is not great and the front desk workers are not helpful, but you really can’t beat the location and ease of living. Plus there is the free shuttle directly to Rush for students and staff which is right outside our front door.

Great experience of the housing in Chicago DT

The apartment is very close to the school, I can walk to the school in 5 minutes, and I appreciate the management staff here who are always friendly and responsive to my need.

Basic Accommodation

The cost of living at Presidential Towers is considered competitive in the market just because they subsidized the cost of other amenities by transferring the ownership to third parties, such as Gym (including swimming pool), parking not included in the rent (additional $280 per month for a garage parking), no in unit washer and dryer (each building has a common machines - they are old and not for free), and no utilities included in the basic rent.

You have to pay $50-150 per month for common utilities, subscribe to rental insurance, subscribe to electricity provider, and subscribe to Internet provided.

The floor plans are tiny and the floorings/bathroom are not remodeled.
What I like about Presidential Towers is the very close proximity to the school, CTA (blue/green/pink), and multiple bus stops.
