November 11, 2024I have nothing to say at this time, I love my unit and I’m grateful for this opportunity. At this time but I pay too much rent to have to live in these conditions.Review from Apartments.com

September 26, 2024It's a nice place to live. They take care of the building. There are some nice amenities such as the Work out. Room and community room. I find maintenance to be very responsive. And? I have some nice neighbors. The greatest thing I like is that we have parking. So you don't have to park on the street and it's for Residents and some Amenities for visitors to park also. It's extremely hard to find this in the city of chicago. I'm right at the Edge of Hyde Park in Washington Park, where there are ...a lot of. Events happening all the time. So it's great for kids and it's close to the beach.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

September 13, 2024Well I've been at Drexel since 2017. When I first arrived it was in transformation of receiving new management I believe and I can honestly say it's been nothing but up since I've been here. I feel safe, my neighbors are quite courteous and pretty much I love the fact we have cameras as a part of security.Review from Apartments.com
Roaches Roaches and Roaches
May 6, 2020I live here. This place is infested with roaches. Not normal size roaches I'm talking 2 1/2 inches long not including the antennas. I've never lived with roaches before, I rarely want to have company. These Roaches are so big I can hear them walking from time to time. I can't believe I moved here, I'm so upset. I hate it here. Take my advice..DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!! They said we were supposed to get new entry doors it's been a year and Nope!! The buzzer to my apartment has never worked!!They ...rehabbed the building but the roaches the size of horses remainRead MoreReview from Apartments.com
