Great for Families
The park right out the front door without having to cross a major street along with a grocery store 100 yards away makes it a fantastic place to live.
The Shoreham Review
Love it here!
The Tides
Great experience so far. Newly renovated units and amenities. 3 minute jog from the building door to the lakeshore path, and quick walk across the park to Mariano’s for groceries or to CVS pharmacy. The park is a quiet sanctuary from the busy Loop.
Would recommend
Great experience, silent apartment good amenities , great park and nearby green areas
Wonderful apartment and management
Only downside is a slight (10min) walk to the train for my commute. Otherwise a really great building with great amenities and management.
DO NOT LIVE HERE
It's hard to find the words to describe how awful my experience was at this place. If you want to feel unsafe constantly, walk up and down hallways that smell like dead animals and that have trash everywhere, and worry that your car is going to get broken into all of the time (which it did), well this is the place. I had issues with my neighbor at first just being so extremely loud and fighting in the hallways; however, I know it's apartment life so I was very understanding. Then issues kept coming up with that neighbor. 6-10 people at all times staying in this one-bedroom apartment, screaming and slamming doors at all hours of the night. Exchanging of firearms in front of my door. The intense smell of weed filled the hallways and came through air vents into my apartment. Strange men pulling on my door trying to enter at 3 AM. I left multiple times to go stay with friends because I was genuinely terrified. My friends wouldn't even come over to my apartment anymore. I voiced my concerns to the office and was constantly told "Well they pay their rent so we can't do anything". Luckily I was only a few months out from my lease ending. I can't recommend young girls to NOT live here enough. It is extremely unsafe. Elevators were broken more times than they actually worked. Gates/doors always were propped open so the "gated community" aspect is false. My apartment when I first moved in was not cleaned (cigarettes in the window and disgusting air vents) and was told someone would come clean. No one ever did after I asked the office about it multiple times. This was the first apartment I lived in when I moved from out of state to Dallas. I wish I had read other reviews before moving here. Worst 11 months ever!!
Almost perfect
Great view, amenities accessible in a building, Chicago-Kent accessible in 200 meters
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.
It's Great
As a student, this place is an excellent place to stay. The gym is within five minutes walking distance, the quality is nice, the floor plans are well laid out. The views of the golf course are fun and make it feel less like a city.
The only downside is that because it is on a golf course, very rarely your car might get hit with a golf ball.
Good apartment for SMU student
It's very convenient to go to school and the living environment is OK.
A Slightly Better College Dorm
You don't get a full kitchen. The cheaper units have a mini fridge and electric stove (no vents) but I've lived there over 2 years now and the management is responsive, the maintainable team is very kind and responsive. Think undergrad college dorms without the communal restrooms, and it's pretty accurate. For those going to school around the DTLA area, it's pretty decent.
Presidential Towers
Very good location and price for the area.
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
