ELEVEN THIRTY Apartments

1- There is ALWAYS construction and loud noise going on. Something is always being fixed or renovated and being on a lower floor means you just have to deal with the noise. I can't possibly recommend this building for anyone who works remotely/from home. They also don't inform you when they are going to be renovating a unit around yours but you'll definitely know as soon as you start hearing the hammering and drilling at 8am.
2-Despite being a smoke-free building, there's very often a strong... smell of marijuana and the worst part is that it comes in through the vents! I complained to the management office but they have no way of knowing what unit it's coming from because of the way the vents connect units across multiple floors.
3-There have been many dirty stains on the carpeting by the elevators on my floor. I've seen actual dog poop stains & turds and also dried blood stains.
4-Garbage chute wasn't working for 4.5 months even though the building said it would only be out of service for a few weeks.
5-Crime in the area has been going up in the past year and there are always ambulances and police cars driving by.

This is my first apartment I have lived in in Chicago, and honestly I love it here and have not experienced any of the negative things others have wrote. I have experienced super friendly doormen/doorwoman and have even befriended them. I always greet them and make small talk, and they do the same. I also have had great encounters with the leasing office. I have mainly only worked with Stephanie and Andrea and all my encounters with them were great! All the amenities here are very nice and... maintained. My apartment itself is also very nice. I can control my own temperature and the temperature system here is great because I can make my apartment an icicle in the summer if I wanted too or a sauna in the winter if I truly wanted! That's how hot and cold you can make it to adjust to your preference. I know not all apartments have good temperature systems because my friend lives in River North always complains about her temperature system in her apartment! Further to all that, I rarely hear any noise in my apartment from others unless there is people directly in the hall near my door. The maintenance staff here is very friendly and is always responsive if I need help with something. I also love how they have package room attendants who check in our shipments and organize them for us, and send us an email once our things arrive - this is a great service! On top of which, you can even place outgoing packages in the room for the carriers to pick up. Honestly, I don't really have one bad thing to say about this place. The only possible bad thing is some of the paint on the walls doesn't look super fancy and you can see dried drips but honestly I'm wondering if that was from the tenant that lived here before me because I think we might be aloud to paint the walls in here? Not sure, but nonetheless, it's not a big issue and there are way uglier apartments in Chicago so I am satisfied with it lol guests compliment our place all the time when they come! The location outside of the apartment is also great, and I love being close to grant park and take my dog the dog park across the street often. It's also really convenient how close the train station, grocery stores, and the Starbucks is on the corner - this has been dangerous for me because I go there all the time! This area in the South Loop and this apartment complex are the BEST and I love calling 1130 home! Read More

Ridiculously loud construction noise nonstop since I've moved in 9 months ago. Management does not care about any disturbance they are causing to residents and can't even distribute an accurate renovation schedule. Don't live here if you want to be comfortable in your own home.

This building is constantly under construction. I have lived here for over two years and there’s never been more than two weeks without hammering and drilling in the mornings and throughout the day. I spoke to a neighbor and they said it’s been going on for 6 years! Every month they send out a list of floors with apartments being renovated. There’s never been a month with less than 5 floors. Right now it’s been a month and a half straight with excessive renovation every day, it’s even on the... weekends! It’s like living inside of a construction site. Building management also has no answers as to when any of this will be finished.

Not worth the cost. If you work night shift or work from home which this building isn’t for you. Night shift people won’t be able to sleep during the day and wfh people won’t be able to think.

There are a few nice things about the building but they’re not worth mentioning because the excessive noise spoils the whole living experience. Read More

The apartment and location is great. But the staff in the leasing office is super super terrible!! They welcomed you when moving in, but had no respect or patient when moving out. They couldn't admit the words they said and had really rude attitude. I recommend bring a record with you when talk to those people.
