  • Horrible

  • Its worth every investment

    June 29, 2018
    I love South Shore Beach apartments you have your own personal beach 24hr door man and workout center. The staff is nice and if anything is broke they have 24hr maintenance I recommend this for any apt buyer. They have parking for purchase which is much needed in the South Shore Drive area indoor and outdoor. The laundromat is good I have no complaints about SSBA it's like owning a piece of your own heaven here

  • Utterly Unsafe

    March 14, 2018
    Unsafe building, don't be fooled. Extremely lax security. Unconcerned office management. Doors (with locks, but still) hanging/sitting wide open for whomever to enter. Garage door up/wide open for hours and hours, sometimes all weekend long, anyone can just walk in & steal or hide. No privacy, staff constantly gossiping about tenants. Very busy lobby, lots of loitering, foul language and unsavory characters. No one regulates. Cars are not safe in overpriced outdoor parking spaces, windows ...
    busted, flat tires, parts missing. No security walks in lots. Washing machines & dryers old and always broken. Especially a bad place for women, very unsafe for women. If you want to feel safe, this is not the place. Bed bugs notice going around recently. Don't let Celeste fool you, she just wants her cut of the money.

  • Amazing views and good management!

    February 6, 2018
    Love waking up and having my morning coffee to the view of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline! Really gets my day started right. The staff is very helpful and nice and for what you get the rent is a STEAL!! Would recommend this building to anyone and everyone!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Dont know what to say

    December 8, 2016
    This is a great apartment complex. Nice units, pleasant building, and great tenants. My only concern, is that the demand that rent is paid on time, every month, which is understandable. However, should you decided to leave as a tenant, good luck on receiving your security deposit back! Literally this realty company will wait up until the very last minute before returning anything! My rent is paid in full and I left this complex. It's almost approaching two months and still no deposit return! I ...
    understand the state of Illinois has a 30-45 day period for the realty company to return deposit, but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to utilize every bit of that timeframe. It's my money and I needed it now! Should it go beyond the 45 day period per the state of Illinois. I certainly will be following up with a lawyer to sue. Can received triple the damages for the wait time. They better act fast as time is ticking. Only 6 days left to return my deposit. Good luck!

  • DISCRIMINATION

    February 17, 2016
    They refuse to accept me UBER DRIVERS claiming they had issues in the past with two drivers. So any potential renters with 1099 will not be accepted. I feel like that's diactimatiom even though it's a "private property." Although I lived at this property before, they are very nice but the new law is just getting in their head probably because of this false ratings and medical students having 1st hand opportunity to rent first before the people in the community.

  • South Shore Beach Apts.

    August 5, 2015
    This is the best High-rise on the South Shore area to live. It has a wonderful North or South view. It is the closes building to the Lake, we walk out the back door and onto our private beach area. The public transportation is the best, featuring 5 different bus routes, 3 with express downtown rides. The building is very well maintained, with 24 hour maintenance. I have lived in just about all high-rises in the city, North and South and this I n=must say is one of the warmest and friendliest ...
    places ever. So come on over and speak with Celeste out Rental Agent and please mention my name.

  • Affordable High Rise Living

    July 28, 2015
    The building is older and the heating / cooling is dated [just on or off - no thermostat] but the management is friendly, the security is top notch - there's underground parking (for a fee). The building has 34 floors and apartments range from Studio to 2 bedroom. I have a studio and it's perfect for a busy professional, a student or someone just starting out. My view is spectacular - windows are huge and I can see the Chicago skyline a across the water just a few miles away. Did I mention the ...
    building is on the shoreline. Nice area for South Chicago - close to the city, museums and colleges. Definitely worth looking at.

    July 18, 2014
    I currently live at south shore beach but I will be moving as soon as my lease is up it is unbelievable about the way they handle the parking there I had to travel for work and my car was mistakenly parked in the wrong place. MY CAR WAS TOWED this is the worst place to live ever and for the price it is not worth it. If you can find some other place to live because you will not enjoy living here

  • ROACH MOTEL

    January 12, 2015
    Don't be Fooled by Cosmetics, the place is FULL of ROACHES. ROACHES inside the Apartments, ROACHES in the WALLS, coming from the WALLS. ROACHES in the Lobby, ROACHES in the Common Areas, ROACHES EVERYWHERE! Cannot BELIEVE I have to gather all my things and MOVE AGAIN. Real Shame.
