Crescent Heights

conveniently located near grant park. if you have a dog, the south loop area is way more dog friendly than the loop near millenium park. this location means you'll use the museum campus metra stop, one stop before the millenium metra stop. if you take the campus shuttle there are two convenient stops nearby. one downside here is having to pay for laundry on site, no in-unit laundry option is available but internet IS included with your rent.

As title suggests, NEMA has impeccable amenities, convenient location, and HIGH price. I would recommend north and east facing units than others as they have better view and less heat from unfiltered sunlight.

Wonderful hosting spaces and interior architecture. Amenities galore

Pretty good spot!

Elevators are very slow and sometimes don't work but the amenities are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Love the view!

The view is amazing, as we have a view of the downtown skyline and lake. The location for class is also great as it’s a 12 minute drive to campus. The only negative is it’s next to the train but you get used to it/can get a unit that doesnt border the EL

Expensive, but great experience

NEMA is a great building with amazing amenities and nicely designed apartments. The neighborhood is quieter than the Loop and closer to campus (Metra stop is a 5 min walk). Great lake and park access. Management and staff are always extremely responsive (work orders are answered within an hour) and very kind. There are not a lot of Booth students in NEMA, but there are a lot of UChicago grad students.

Coming from New York this is great bang for your buck

The leasing agents were terrible, all 3 of them. The property manager is much more responsive.

Very close to Trader Joe's and Jewel Osco (3 minute walk)
Very close to Metra (3 minute walk)
Very close to CTA (4 minute walk)

Nema is the best of South Loop

Fantastic place. Modern, clean, convenient location (especially to 2 and 6 buses to get to campus). Great gym and common spaces. Good value, too.

Property is beautiful, management company is horrible
