Grant Park Apartments

I’ve lived here for just over 6 months and in that time, I have:

- had HUNDREDS of dollars worth of packages stolen (4 times in total)

-a friend who stayed the night had their Tires stolen off their car on the street (the leasing office laughed when I told them it was my party who it happened to)

-my neighbor has filed multiple noise complaints on me just for doing simple things because you can hear EVERYTHING (I’m a woman who lives alone with no pets, and I can’t even blame the neighbor... with how poorly it is built- I can hear music and conversations from upstairs like they’re in my kitchen)

There is claim that we have upped our security due to more car break-ins occurring, but all i have seen so far is an increase in theft, security issues, and unwelcomed guests in what is supposed to be a “luxury living area”.

The location is great and it really is a nice area and relatively affordable for the downtown scene, but what is our money going towards if not making us feel comfortable in our own homes? Read More

The new unit I moved into has been a mess since since last summer. Cars are always broken into (management’s excuse was that “crime has no zip code”), my packages have been stolen so now I have to send it to a friend’s place, there are cop cars around due to some sort of crime all the time, I’ve seen drunk drivers smash through road signs. It’s ridiculous that they keep increasing community fees and valet trash fees. I do not feel safe in this apartment.

Loved this property ! Short walk from short north and campus ! Property is extremely large great for bike rides or walks . Pet stations around the property are very convenient . Loved using and gym and pool !

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!

Grant Park is quite literally the worst experience I've ever had from an apartment. I've had nothing but problems since moving in in June 2022. I moved into a brand new unit and immediately had to call maintenance to have them fix the air conditioning, broken shelves in the closet, and not having a working mailbox key. It took over a month for me to get access to my mail. After living here for a few months, the electricity in the whole building failed due to an issue with... faulty wiring. Everyone was forced to relocate to a new unit and I was offered a month of free rent. Even though I have a rent credit, the office keeps calling me telling me my rent is past due and my balance still does not reflect properly to this day.

When I was showed the unit I'd be relocated to it was very dirty and I requested it to be cleaned before I move in. On moving day it was just as dirty and they insisted that someone cleaned it. I had to spend hours cleaning the apartment before I moved in. One week after relocating to the new unit, there was a small leak in the ceiling that left a stain. I told maintenance about it and they offered to just paint the ceiling with no concern as to why there was a leak. The next day, I wake up to a flooded living room because the sprinkler system was causing the leak. My couch was ruined. Maintenance promptly stopped the leak and cleaned up the water, but left a huge mess from cutting open the ceiling in multiple places. There was drywall debris everywhere. It took them a whole month to come and fix the ceiling and clean up the mess. I was left without a living room for the entire time. I contacted the office multiple times and was told they were waiting on new drywall. They did a terrible job with the drywall repair and it is a huge eyesore in the apartment. I've requested a rent credit for the inconvenience and have yet to receive a response from the manager. On top of all this, the property manager has changed so I've had to go through explaining all of this to them again. Whenever I call the office everyone is confused and has no idea what's going on. Just a terrible living experience all around and I can't wait until my lease up. Read More

There are a few things you want in an apartment: security, decent management, and for your monthly home owners fee to go towards something decent. Well, you won't find those at Grant Park! *smile* While the inside of the apartment is nice, it is not a well functioning complex! Read below for more...

There is no locker, so your packages WILL be stolen (if you don't do a signed drop-off). I personally had 4 items stolen within the last month :) They have "security" but it's really a company who's... workers are sleeping in their PERSONAL vehicles and calling it "patrol." Mind you their cars are still on, talk about reducing CO2 Emissions...

This complex is owned by 601W Companies (yes I'm naming names), a big company who doesn't seem to have time for smaller properties like this because we've had 3 management changes within the last year. And we don't get a heads up.

There's valet trash, but they sometimes delay picking up trash so the breezeways smell and have flies (sometimes) around the doors. So I tried to throw my own trash away but the few dumpsters on the property are FULL to the brim! I mean trash bags in the grass surrounding the dump.

Extra note(s): I thought living by train-tracks wouldn't be a big deal, but this route is busy! And the icing on the cake is that your car might be broken into, mines did and so did a few of my neighbors. Read More
