515 W Briar Pl
Overall good. The maintenance man is only responsive through email, he will not answer his phone or return a call. There are minimal utilities/perks and they continuously try to raise the price. The walls are thin, which means you can hear people outside at all times and in the stairwell.

Nice, but expensive for not much
It's nice and new looking inside, but it's a small 300 sq ft studio for nearly a grand, no utilities included. So it looks nice and location is good, management has been great, but it's far too expensive for far too small and cramped a space

Lakeview Reviews
It has numerous sub-neighborhoods, including the super bro-y Wrigleyville and the still queer Boystown. It has a mix of lower income co-op housing and slowly dying out SRO housing with luxury condos and high rises.
The area is generally safe, though the occasional mugging does occur and bar fights happen closer to the stadium on the regular.
The neighborhood is often loud and bustling with people, with hospitals on both ends (St. Jo's and Advocate to the south and Thorek to the north) so a lot of ambient ambulance and fire truck noise is normal, plus sounds from people going to and from the many bars and restaurants lining Broadway, Belmont, Halsted, and Clark. Festivals draw neighbors into the streets and block traffic frequently during the summer, including Pride, Market Days, Lakeview Arts Fest, and others.
