Great location and value
Easy walk to campus, downtown, and other major buildings in the area. One of the cheapest major buildings to live in and has everything you need.

Great Place for Kellogg Students
OHO is a great building with 24 hour security and all the amenities you could need, including parking within the building that is included with the rent. All the floor plans are very spacious and the units get ALOT of natural light. There is also a good community of Kellogg students within the building, and it is only a 15-20 minute walk to the Hub.

Great value, space, and location. Unit quality varies
Living in a 1bed + den at OHO and have really enjoyed it. Location is good walking distance to everything (Kellogg, other popular buildings, food, gyms, etc). Staff is great, amenities are ok (indoor pool + hot tub is nice).
Experiences vary a bit as these are condo buildings and owned by individual owners. Thus your experience with landlord and unit quality / design will vary. Ours was great, though. Floor to ceiling views of the lake and nicely renovated.
Main downside is having to sign a 2 year lease, but it can still end up being cheaper than other buildings given the lower monthly price

OHO is great for social people with introverted tendencies
I love living in OHO and I love the vibe of everyone who lives here. We are a bunch of people who love socializing but don't need to party all the time and definitely need some chill time on our own. The hot tub is also super clutch. It's also very well located in my opinion, and is close to all the other "Kellogg apartment buildings", grocery stores, and public transit.
Things I wish I had known: it's super close to the L so you hear it passing at all hours, especially if you live in an even numbered apartment. You get used to it but it can be jarring at first. Also, the walls are super thin inside the apartment.
But overall, would highly recommend it. Living here has been one of the best decisions I've made.

Individually owned condos so experience is largely dependent on responsiveness of landlord. Quieter building (a lot of families live here) but there are a ton of Kellogg students and within 5-10 minutes walking distance to other buildings. Floor-to-ceiling windows so there is great lighting and lots of amenities included in the rent.

Solid Apartment. Great Location. Quiet Living.
Each unit will vary significantly since these are privately owned condos that people are renting. Typically the units are somewhat recently updated and in good condition. The apartment community is diverse with Kellogg students only accounting for a small percentage of the total building. Most of the non-Kellogg residents are middle aged to older. The Kellogg students in this building have a slack channel and do occasional social events but it not a particularly social building (relatively quiet). The location one of the best of the major Kellogg living buildings with one of the shortest walks to class and groceries.
