Review
I wish my neighbors were less noisy, and that I had a dishwasher. My packages cannot be delivered to my apartment either as they are constantly stolen. Overall the apartment is safe, and you get what you pay for here. The management company is fairly responsive, and I appreciate that.

It could be a lot nicer. Very dirty, amenities are nonexistent, and the lobby could be used for something fun. Thankfully they have hired on a new maintenance man, but it still is lacking in a lot of ways. Currently the glass on the front door has been missing for over a week now.

nice apartment
I really enjoy my apartment. It's spacious and the entrance of the building is gorgeous. One thing I would change is temperature control issues. My apartment is on the 8th floor and gets extremely hot especially in the winter time when the building turns on the heat. I usually keep the windows open even in the winter.

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.
