Village Green Company

The experience is great! It is right next to a major highway that allows for quick travel to downtown Columbus and the Short North area. The building is easily accessible and any maintenance needs are taken care of promptly. Having a parking space available that I do not have to pay for is very helpful, and the community is large so it is easy to make friends. One downside is the amenities are sometimes difficult to use because there are so many people, but for the most part it is not a huge deal. There is also only one trash compactor for the complex which requires a long walk or a drive for most residents.

Great access to hospital. Pricier. Gym has barbells and free weights, indoor basketball court, hot tubs

The building has nice amenities with a pool hot tub gym and sauna but the building is poorly managed and cared for. We had a fire in an apartment this year that resulted in sprinkler damage to many apartments and a water pipe burst that again damaged many apartments. This will take a while to repair and the management has not handled it well.

Great property and amenities, clean and modern. Within short walking distance of NMH. However is a bit pricey.

What attracted me to this apartment was the floor to ceiling windows in every room. The 2B/2B apartment I'm in is pretty spacious but the floor plan I have has a small kitchen, which is the biggest downside in my apartment. The bathrooms are also on the smaller side, but it's compensated for by having large bedrooms. Management is hard to get ahold of on the phone, however, the ladies in the front office are so nice when I get ahold of them in person. The neighborhood is nearly always quiet, which is great for studying. I feel very safe walking to the building from the bus stop, even at night. I like that the bus stop is right outside of the building, so it's very easy to catch the bus to and from a lot of places. The people I've met in this building are also very nice and welcoming. Most residents are middle aged people or young couples/families so it seems diverse in that sense.

The proximity to campus is such a steal. Also, the apartment building has monthly events and ways to connect with others. There are families, people of ages across the spectrum living here too. This makes it feel like a small little community. Gym in the building is pretty good. Amenities are very nice! Highly recommend!

Great location, good amenities, updated appliances and pet friendly! Rent is a bit high and there’s been some construction near the property but overall great apartment. Not super close to the law school but there’s multiple bus stops right by the complex that are free for students and take you right to school so you wouldn’t have to pay for a school parking pass.

Large and spacious floorplan, but the building is quite old and many people have had pest or water damage issues. No major complaints, but the building is very run down and is not what it appears to be in pictures. Not a very high-value option as there are just as good of apartments for a better price. Make sure you tour the apartment in person as pictures and videos do not clearly show small flaws in the residence.

Distance to campus is great, but likely not a walkable distance.

Great location right downtown Oak Park and close to the school - about a 15 minute drive. They have a cool deal for Stritch students - you get 4 free hours of renting the entire roof area if you want to host a party.

The only complaint I have is the ridiculous pricing and they include a lot of extra charges. I do expect them to raise my rent next year. If you have pets, the pet fee is $300 and $50/month thereafter. I split my rent with someone so its not terrible, but its definitely on the pricier end compared to other places around here.

Otherwise I have no complaints. The apartments are nice and living here has been very convenient. Since we have to be on campus a lot during our first year I wanted to avoid sitting in traffic on the highway (if I were coming from downtown Chicago). The amenities are super helpful if I want to switch up my study space or get a quick workout in. Also, it is a very dog friendly building! I believe they have a groomer you can pay for that comes to the building once a month. It is also attached to the coffee shop Dollop through the building lobby.

2 bed/2 bath apartment shared with fellow Stritch student. Apartment is in a safe, family-friendly area. Building is older, with mostly updated common areas and apartments. Front door has Butterfly MX security system with proximity scanner for entry to building; individual apartments have traditional keys and dead bolts. Amenities include gym, lounge area, coin-operated (swipe credit card) laundry, and heated garage ($135/mo). Building is located near a covered city garage (~$95/mo). Apartment units are clean and updated, with updated appliances and new carpet (in our case). Windows allow for plenty of sunlight, but structure of building means no direct light (we have lots of plants, but they are not all doing great). Pets are allowed with additional fee. Management is very responsive to service and other requests. Located next to a fire station (often noisy, but we had a quick response to our apartment fire!). Located close to CTA green line. Apartment has come control over temperature, but tends to be either cold (central AC during summer) or hot (central heating during winter), so opening windows usually evens out the temperature. Other students live in this building and we were lucky to get an apartment unit that was right next to two other students in our class (now some of my best friends at school).

I love the location and the common areas are very spacious. Great kitchen with tons of storage. The location could not be better for the suburbs. Right on Lake in Oak Park and next to a Green Line stop. The biggest downside is that many of the two bedrooms are loft-style so the upstairs bedroom does not have a door - though it is very private.

A little old and no in-unit washer and dryer. Very well maintained and I get a lot of sunlight when it’s around. No central air or central heat. Has radiators that keep the place toasty in winter. Also, have a small space heater in my room for when I want some extra warmth before bed. Good neighborhood. Feels safe. Big for a 1 bedroom. Good price.

Killer views and location. Small number of people live in Old Town/Lincoln Park from Rush, but being so close to the lake has some huge perks. Apt is pet friendly and the park is ideal for pet owners. Not ideal for someone who doesn't own a car as it is 0.5-0.7 mile away from the Brown & Red lines - both of which require changes to get to school. Easy 15-20 min drive though. Rent is a little steep, but it includes a lot. It's also rent controlled so not sure what the building is going for now.

I split rent with my SO, which makes it slightly cheaper, but I fully recognize it is not and should not be the option for everyone, my SO is in the workforce so wanted a place rather than sharing a house with roommates. The views are nice, windows are large, it is spacious for a one bedroom. There is a gym, pool, and sky lounge to rent for big parties (think potluck!!) and any repair or maintenance is immediately addressed. Finally, the parking lot is covered and heated which takes off the stress of shoveling snow out of the drive way.

Great place to gather
