My roommate and I chose this building because it's a 5-10 min walk to the Northwestern campus. We could not be happier here! The management office made everything super easy from the first tour. The amenities are amazing. The lake room and the conference room are perfect for studying. 24hr fitness center, pool, hot tub. The front desk staff are all super nice and attentive. And did I mention ROOM SERVICE??!? Thank you 850 for a wonderful time living here!!!

The friendly and attentive staff make you feel valued from the moment you arrive. The elegant lobby sets the tone for the rest of the stay. The apartment itself has condo-quality finishes, and you don’t hear your neighbors. The breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from the rooftop add to the overall charm. The property boasts outstanding amenities, including a well-equipped fitness center and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the lake and skyline. The location is ideal, offering easy access to iconic attractions, restaurants, and shopping destinations in the city. The staff's dedication to exceptional service further enhances the experience.

This building is not safe and management does nothing to keep female residents safe, if anything they encourage the situation and put you at greater risk. Management and administration retaliates if you report or pursue safety measures.
I was stalked, sexually harassed, and groped by a door man during my second year of residence. I reported the incidents to management as well as my concerns that he was becoming more aggressive and lewd. Nothing was done, two weeks later her exposed himself to me and aggressively groped and assaulted me. Management and LARAMAR have been completely unsupportive and did nothing! He continued to work nights at the building even after the second incident took place and was reported. I ended up having to contact police and get a protection order; only when police came to remove him and following the protection order did the building management comply with the law, but still kept the individual on staff and asked when they could bring him back! This building's management team and LARAMAR are despicable-they allowed a dangerous person to work at their building and knowingly maintained a dangerous and traumatizing environment.

850 Lake Shore Dr has an indoor pool, and convenient washer and dryers. The thing that's nice about this place is that cats are allowed with no additional cost, but dogs are extra per month. We live in a great location close to shops, the beach, and really amazing restaurants.
