Grace Street Towers Apartments

Bedbugs EVERYWHERE!!! All my belongings were destroyed and had to live out of my car and move back in with my parents because I had NOTHING. Meanwhile, I still had to pay off the rest of my lease. I lost all my clothes, electronics, literally everything I owned was riddled with bedbugs. I'm still traumatized by it and it happened 10 years ago. The management did nothing to help other than notify me that there had been a massive infestation in the building and all tenants were notified. ... Lucky me lived next door to the people that brought them into the building. Management paid for professional treatments for them but did nothing for me. I lost my belongings, my job, and my life for a bit because of this. Never ever live here!!! Read More

Complain til you are blue in the face. Does not change, ever. You will be forced to go to the laundromat out of necessity. Uber cost..laundromat prices…crowds…waiting.

We lived here for 3 years (2017-2020), and had a great experience. The apartment was capacious with a nice view. The best thing about the apartment is the management staff, and they are very professional and prompt in service. During our 3 years stay, we cannot recall any delay in the service whenever we needed. Excellent neighborhood in the city with stone throw distance from the lake, lots of good restaurants and grocery stores at the Broadway St, proximity to the bus stop, Addison red line... make this place just perfect.

I have lived at Grace Street Towers (GST) for 12 years. It is truly a great place to live. The apartments are clean, well maintained, very quiet and safe. The pictures shown are very accurate. Wifi, cable and gas are included. You only pay electric. There is an exercise room, laundry, large patio with a BBQ and parking. The community at GST is diverse in age, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation and ability. The building hosts a community breakfast one Sunday a month, as well as several... events/celebrations throughout the year for all of the residents. GST really has a community feel to it. The residents and apartment staff are welcoming and enjoyable to interact with. The apartment staff (Chembe, Cristina, Albert, Rajif and Isabel) are the best. They are all onsite Monday through Friday (and many Saturday mornings). They have an open door policy and are always very accommodating, professional and nice. Service requests are taken care of very quickly. In all my years living here I do not think I have ever waited more than a day (usually a few hours) for something to be taken care of/fixed. The management/apartment staff take pride in making GST a great place to live and an enjoyable home for all who live here. The location is perfect. Several bus lines are about a 1 minute walk out the front door and 2 "L" stops (Addison and Sheridan)are just up the street. Whole Foods, Jewel, Treasure Island and Walgreens are all within walking distance. The best part-the beautiful lakefront is right across the street. Breathtaking views and miles of walking, biking and running. Great neighborhood, excellent restaurants, lots of shopping. I highly recommend GST if you are looking for a great apartment. Read More

These are run down old apartments. The carpets are terrible and the kitchens are nasty. Some of the people who live their are nice but it is only a few. The one saving "Grace" is Cristina in the office. She is amazing. If you have any issues make sure you talk to her and ONLY her in the office. If I would not have been in such a hurry to find a place I NEVER would have moved in here.

I moved in 4 months ago and can't break my lease.
