Coast at Lakeshore East

Coast has great amenities (outdoor pool & bbq area, gym, common space, weekly yoga classes) and very attentive management. The appliances and fixtures are not quite as nice as some of the other buildings in the Loop (MILA or 73 E Lake) but overall good quality. There’s access to the pedway through the building which is a huge bonus in the winter/bad weather. Drawbacks: There is a still construction next door and uber/lyft can have issues finding the front entrance because of the multi-level street.

Great place to live in

Great building with great amenities. Located close enough to everything but far enough from Michigan to avoid noise and tourists.

If you want to live outside of MPP

Relatively newly built apartment
Closer to grocery stores and Gleacher center
Nice gym
One downside so far is having transparent balcony wall

Fantastic building

I really like living in Coast. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They respond extremely quickly as well, which is also great. They have a lot of community events like tailgating, trips to a winery, as well as free in-house yoga classes and circuit training classes at the gym. My only issue is that the layout of the studios doesn’t make much sense. I feel like the square footage is wasted.

Summary

Love the apartment and best view of Lake Michigan. Great area for having a dog given adjacent park and river access. About a 10 minute walk from MPP so could be closer, but overall not a bad commute.

Coast

It is a little far from campus, but commuting is easy with the intercampus shuttle and living in the city is so much fun. The building is great and has so many amenities and nice spaces. The view from this building is incredible!!

Coast

I love living here. I chose it based on the location (moved with my boyfriend who works in Evanston so we needed to be halfway between there and Hyde Park). Also it is right along the 2 and 6 bus lines which bring you to Hyde Park. All the apartments are modern, have floor-to-ceiling windows, have in-unit washer and dryer, have a balcony, and allow pets. The amenities are also a huge plus along with the great location right downtown. Would definitely recommend!

Great Amenities

Coast at Lakeshore is spacious, the apartments have balconies, and a washer and dryer. I love that there is so much closet space and natural light, which saves on electricity in the long run. The living area in my studio apartment is slightly small, but the kitchen is nice, as well as the dishwasher

The Loop Reviews

349 reviews
Very secure and tranquil. Very close to public transportations. Namely millennium station which I use to ride the Metra trains to campus.
Very close to the lake and navy pier
Great park surrounded by all the buildings.
There’s good supermarket that has everything. A couple restaurants and coffee shops are also there.
Amazing place to have a social life! It is super close to Gleacher and to where recruiting events take place. Most Boothies live in this area and that helps creating a nice community. West loop with amazing restaurants is 2 metro stops/5min uber. TNDCs also happen walking distance. Its also where most touristic attractions are so its great for when friends/family visit you.
Safe neighborhood and good because it’s where most Booth students live but it’s a little sterile esp at night. Lots of tourists around. I would not live in this neighborhood if most other students didnt live here. However it is convenient to get to most places around chicago. In the middle of everything
Columbus plaza is on the quieter side, a few blocks away from Michigan. Tides and park millennium are even quieter but lack the river views that CP offers. It can be a bit too empty at night, which may be of concern to some. Most of the nearby restaurants in the pedway focus on serving office workers so they close around 6pm. Great access to river walk for running or biking.
The Loop has pros and cons. Living in the Loop is nice because during the day up until about 8 p.m. there are people walking around the streets which is nice because you feel more secure walking. However, on weekends and after a certain time at night it empties and it can be a little eerie.

That being said, if you're anywhere near State St. or the Mag mile, there's pretty much people around at any given hour. It's fun to live downtown because the streets are bustling with interesting people, sometimes there's live music on street corners and there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
Beautiful area in a great location with a dog park, playground, and full service grocery store in short walking distance. Restaurants and transit are just ok in this area, but not a bad walk to the "L" and that opens up the restaurant options. No close-by childcare for kids under preschool age, but great preschool and private elementary school, with high price tags. Ubers often find this place impossible to locate due to GPS's going crazy with the multiple layers of Wacker, Randolph, Columbus, and East South Water Street.
The Loop is an unlikely place to live but I love it. You are in the heart of the city, close to every L line possible, very good restaurants and walking distance to River North without paying River North prices for apartments. Apartments are smaller throughout the neighborhood but if you are an urbanite and don't mind limited closet space you will love it here. Mostly everyone is walking distance to work.
Great location close to blue, brown, green, pink, orange and red lines. 10 minute walk to State St., 5-10 minutes to River North, 15 minutes to Michigan Avenue. Grocery stores aren't really walkable but most people in the building use PeaPod/Instacart. Safe to walk around at night. A lot of new restaurants (quick service) opening in the area.
