Best secret in town

I have had a few apartments, but this one is best I have had. I have not had any problems that couldn't be fixed or rectified quickly, in the almost 2 years I have been there. I have a corner apartment that has a $10,000 view. The balcony is almost the entire length of the apartment.
Management is kind, patient and believes in insuring any issues are resolved. Francy S. is great, and one of the hardest working property managers I have ever seen, and yet she still will manage to smile at you.
I love this place and I'm looking forward to being here as long as I can.

Love this place

The view is amazing, as we have a view of the downtown skyline and lake. The location for class is also great as it’s a 12 minute drive to campus. The only negative is it’s next to the train but you get used to it/can get a unit that doesnt border the EL

Great Apartment, Odd Amenities

I love my apartment, but the amenities are a little odd. There are small amenities on each floor instead of having one floor with all of the amenities together. There is an indoor pool and sauna/steam room, great fitness center and outdoor deck with grills. Those are my favorite parts.

Convinient Comfort

Astoria Tower is a wonderful place to call home! The location is great with lots to do and see just outside my door. The amenities are great and I love working out in the indoor pool. There is a nice sundeck that we love to BBQ with friends at and lots of our friends live in the building as well, which is a major perk!

Great apartment , decent location

Astoria Tower is in a decent location in South Loop but it is one of the better luxury apartments in Chicago. It is new so facilities and appliances are not run down like the apartments in the North side of downtown. Gym, swimming pool and parking is great. Public transport is walking distance.

Great place to live

Astoria Tower is a great place to live. The building layout is good and it is walking distance from Grant Park , and Millenium park.
South loop generally doesn't have a cool vibe to it, so there is not much to do in this part of the loop. Management is great

Love My Home

I have lived at Astoria tower for quite some time now, and the overall experience has been great. I love the residents, certainly the happiest high-rise I have lived in. The amenities are the real kicker. I love the office space and rooftops. I will be living here as long as I am in Chicago.

Excellent building

I love Astoria Tower. The units are really great. Our kitchen appliances are high quality and the floor to ceiling windows ensure that we have an amazing view of the city. The building staff is also incredibly friendly (rare, I know)!

Reviewed by UIC Medical Student living at 1720 S Michigan Condos
As a single woman it was very important for me to live in an area that was safe given that the medical school schedule will require me to come home at night. Also it gives me great peace of mind to live in a building with doormen 24/7 in case anything were to happen. However, this has come at at a great cost.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at 1111 Wabash
South Loop is quieter than the Loop, but you will get more space. Ideal for parents, people with partners that work remotely, or people looking for more space for their money. Outside of Bears games, has far fewer tourists to deal with than the Loop.
Across Michigan Ave from Grant Park. 10-minute walk from the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field.
Roosevelt station is very close by and incredibly convenient if you don't mind taking the train or buses, but it is a transit hub, so expect increased numbers and variety of people.
Not far from the rest of the Loop, and you can still easily make your way north for study groups and social events.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Roosevelt Collection Lofts
The neighborhood is great. It has become so much nicer in the past few years due to all of the new building that have gone up. The Roosevelt stop can be a little sketchy from time to time but I just stay alert when I’m over there. Having a Trader Joe’s, Mariano’s, Target, Wholefoods and Jewel nearby is super nice.
Reviewed by Marla I, Working Professional living at Lofts at Roosevelt Collection
Great neighborhood with beautiful views of the city. Really starting to boom and will continue to grow to be one of the hottest in the city. Does not feel 'neighborhood-y' as some of the western and northern neighborhoods due. Feels like you're still in an urban environment, just outside of the loop.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at 1130 South Michigan
The area is still up and coming. There are plenty of grocery stores and some shopping that is easily drivable. It is much cleaner than the loop area. The nightlife scene isn't great, but there are a few good restaurants in the area. Also can't beat living across from Grant Park! The Loop area and River North is walkable, or very easy with public transportation.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Printers Square
It's a lot livelier than Hyde Park, and you are far more connected to the rest of Chicago. Printer's Row feels a lot safer too, and I do not feel as concerned when I walk around at night. It has great little bars and restaurants, and is close to a Trader Joe's, Jewel, and Target. There is a Mariano's and Whole Foods a few minutes further away.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Terrazio
Close to everything, but not so close it's congested or a headache to get from place to place. Trader Joe's, Jewel, nearby. Plenty of bars and restaurants walking distance. Walking distance to the el, Soldier Field, the Shedd. Also, easy access to the expressway if you're driving.Street parking is typically plentiful, except during events at Solider Field (parking ban during games).
If went further south than 22ND street it tends to get a little sketchy, but overall a nice area.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Printers Square
Printer's Row is near the Loop and train stations and is therefore easily accessible. It's also near Grant Park and the Lake which is great during the summer. There are some decent restaurants and a few bars, but if you're young you'll probably be heading up to River North and further north for a night out. Overall, the neighborhood feels very friendly but has a great location, and new construction in the South Loop will surely make Printer's Row even better.
