55 W. Chestnut Apartments

Pros: My unit was near the top floor and facing the southeast so my view was mind blowing. If you have a southern facing corner unit and it’s high up, you will love the apartment. Other than that, Laundry room is well-maintained and always open. Maintenance is great. Location is fantastic (especially if you use public transportation). Very safe building - didn’t see anything sketchy or ever feel in danger. Right by a dog park which is nice for some people. Never had any issues with bugs or... anything of that nature.

Cons: Elevators are slow and the building isn’t brand new but you get over both of those quickly in my opinion.

Summary: I lived there for a year and only moved because of a new job. Otherwise, I would’ve renewed my lease. It really is a great apartment and I’m happy I picked it… And for that reason, I felt like I should share my experience. Hopefully it helped!

I have lived there for few years. Great building. Amazing area . Beautiful view

If you are looking to live in the Gold Coast/River North area, this is probably the best priced building in that part of the city. Management is nice, prompt, and helpful. When my husband and I first signed the lease, management was able to accommodate our requests at no additional cost, specifically installing laminate flooring in the living room and bedroom, as well as installing a dishwasher. We would have renewed our lease if we weren't moving. Living here made our year in Chicago especially... wonderful! Read More

I lived here for 3 years. This is a great building - apparently, it is not one of those newest buildings, but property management has been upgrading over the years. We've got new tiles, lobbies, fitness centers and party room this year. The amenity is well maintained. I never had to wait for the washer/dryers, gym is great and clean, and there is a huge sun deck that definitely adds a great value. The building's location is unbeatable, very close to train and bus station, Michigan Ave, and... walkable to River North and Gold Coast neighborhoods.

The thing I like the most is definitely the staff. Everyone is very friendly and very helpful. The building manager, Laura, makes everything incredibly easy. I have made all kinds of requests during my time here, such as switching units, temporary parking and etc. Laura really went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and provided a lot of flexibility for many of my very last minute requests. I am very thankful for all the help I've got.

I had to move out of this building due to work relocation, but I will always recommend this building to anyone. Read More

I have been living here for one and a half year and have to say, the staff here are very responsible, tenants are easy to get quick responses from the manager. The doorman and maintenance personnel treat their work very carefully and seriously. The highlight of the building should be its location, close to Loyola University water tower campus, Ogden International School, 22 Bus and Chicago/State station of red line. The rooms of 7 and 8 have a good view to see the Washington Square Park and Lake... of Michigan. Read More
