I love this apartment! Great location close to the medical school, affordable price for a studio, and apartments are very well-kept with nice appliances and large windows.

It’s an old building with recently renovated rooms. The amenities are often closed. Management is mid. Appliances work. There’s nothing too good or too bad about these apartments. The biggest perk is the short walk to the hospital.

Pretty good, was pretty affordable but rent is raising. Good area, quiet neighbors

244 East Pearson Review

- coming from large city, this rent for 394 sq ft is unheard of -> great rent
- management is fairly active/responsive/chill, super helpful when I was moving in without viewing the unit
- amenities are passable: building laundry is well-maintained, storage lockers and mail are fine, "gym" is more just treadmills and ellipticals at present but I don't really care, *very* close to Feinberg
- pretty quiet overall

5 min or less walk to school/hospital. Park and lake view are great. Continuing to renovate, which is both a pro and con. Thin walls. Highly recommend for 3rd year, maybe not as necessary other years I’d you want to be further. Prorated rent due to signing a 2 year lease, normally 1395.

This is a very nice apartment, and BJB updated it even more. Good kitchen size and appliances. There’s even a dishwasher. No carpeted floors. Maintenance comes at a reasonable time. Gym and laundry room in building. Free internet is reasonably fast.

-Walls are thin so conversations and music travel
-Garbage chutes closed every weekend and holiday
-Lines for the laundry machines at peak weekend hours
-No dogs, fee for cat
-Packages are stored in a room that’s often unlocked, very disorganized piles form at certain times of the year. But they do mostly make their way onto shelves by floor.

Pros: close to school, close to lakeshore park and trail access

Cons: extremely small living space, can hear neighbors at almost any time through thin walls

Overall my experience has been good. Management has been helpful and I have not really run into problems with noise, etc. Almost the entire building is studios/1Bs. My studio is on the small side, and there aren't a lot of amenities, but I feel it's worth it, considering that the rent is quite a bit less than other properties in Streeterville. One benefit is that for cat owners, you only have to pay a 1-time pet fee of $250 (no monthly pet rent). It's also one block away from the Northwestern campus which is really convenient.

Rent is really expensive, studio is a small size. Incessant construction going on. Only plus is that the apartment is in a quiet part of streeterville and the building itself is a 2 min walk away from campus
