Many residents describe the views from the apartments as mesmerizing and amazing, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the living rooms. The apartments are spacious, featuring high ceilings, comfortable full-size beds, spacious closets, and desks. The kitchens are well-equipped with a microwave, stove, full-size refrigerator, and an island table. Bathrooms are also spacious with good water pressure.
The building provides amazing amenity spaces. These include a graffiti room, an entire floor dedicated to artistic expression with city views, and a sky lounge for lounging or studying, which has comfortable seating, a ping pong table, and a pool table.

I really enjoy living here. I was able to find a space that is perfect for me, and my needs. Additionally the process was very efficient as well. My agent Ava was able to let me see all my options and gave me additional resources to help with decisions, she got me into my place so quick.

The whole process was so easy, took a day. I just love that it wasn't a hassle like other places that rent. I will be here for the future because my school depaul is right down the road and so is the red line that goes to the lincoln park location.
