The Draper is an apartment complex in Uptown Chicago offering modern studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments. Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit laundry, poured concrete flooring, and glass-enclosed rain showers. Select units have brand-new kitchens with subway tile backsplash and kitchen islands. The building provides a mountain of community amenities, including a game room, rooftop lounge and pool, grills, and a movie screening room called The Draper Theatre. These spaces are consistently reported as great, always cleaned and maintained. The location is convenient with lovely views. Reviews consistently highlight the great, helpful, and attentive staff all around, including the front desk, leasing agents, and maintenance team. Staff are described as incredibly transparent, honest, and quick to respond, going above and beyond to assist residents. The move-in process is noted as a breeze and seamless with clear instructions. The building and vibe are considered stellar, with friendly residents. Some residents note observations, such as the lobby being advertised as a coworking space feeling borderline deceiving, as it is a distracting area. Occasional issues with elevator maintenance can create extended wait times. A few point out that not all units have every advertised apartment amenity, like stainless steel appliances or dishwashers. However, many residents feel the Draper is an incredible place to live, standing out as a favorite.
Corey in the leasing office was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the building and the area. Showed us plenty of options on our tour. Very professional and timely in all our correspondences. Highly recommend asking for him for your apartment tour and leasing needs.
