Quiet and cozy

I love my apartment. It is expensive but updated and I live in a high enough unit that I am overlooking other buildings' roofs so that's a huge plus. No problems with maintenance or management. They have had workers working on the exterior of the building for the last two years so that can be an annoyance because it gets loud in the mornings for some people.

Love it!

Great apartment, great management company. Wish there was more sunlight, but that's what you get for living on a lower floor. Responsive and quick to fix anything that's broken.

Overall, I would rent again from BJB. They really do care. The kitchen is small but the bedroom, living room and closets are spacious.

Great place to live!

The location couldn't be better - a quick walk to Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and the L and major bus lines! The amenities work great, though the kitchen is small. During the winter the apartment keeps well insulated, so our heat bill is minimal ($20 each, max, during the winter). The rooms are equal sized, and the management company responds within the day. Lots of sunlight, too! Also, there's a huuuuge closet for storage.

Cute Apartment in a great location

The apartment is really close to several bus stops so getting to work is very easy. It's also really close to the lake, a cinema, Walmart, Trader Joe's, and some really great Chinese food. The apartment is nice, the kitchen is little small, but has lots of storage. The management is good, but the internet can be kind of unreliable (it's included in the rent), and it seems like there's a cockroach problem sometimes. It's maybe a little more expensive than I would want to pay, but the location is excellent.

Pretty nice for a first place in Chicago

The studios are spacious and the location is fantastic. It's very dark and the walls are incredibly thin, but management is really great and very helpful. The building's maintenance is great. The management holds socials for all their properties, which is nice.
