Lakeshore Plaza Review

The floor plans are a little strange, but there is a lot of room. Like the amount of light/ views, dislike the laundry room.

Convenient and Affordable

One of the more affordable options in streeterville. It is very conveniently located near campus. It is comfortable, and management/maintenance respond quickly to resident requests and questions. I have been very pleased with my stay here all four years of medical school.

Highly recommend

One of the cheapest buildings in Streeterville, close to campus and with a nice pool/small gym. They're quick to fix any issues if they arise and we haven't had any problems with management.

Lake Shore Plaza Review

The layout of the apartment is really nice! My roommate and my rooms are far apart, which really decreases the noise disturbance. One downside of LSP is the small gym with limited machines and weights.

Lake Shore Plaza

My roommate and I got our apartment with a deal, so it costs about $200/month than others on the floor. I really like how close the building is to class, as it only takes around 7min for me to get to any of classrooms. Our apartment gets a good amount of light, and the bedrooms are on opposite sides, which gives it a feeling of privacy. Management is responsive to repair requests; upon moving in, I found a few issues, which were fixed within 24 hours. There is an outdoor pool for use during the summer, a patio, and a gym all for resident use. The gym doesn't have an abundance of machines, but it's enough for me.

As for things I would change, I think that the walls can be kind of thin. I can hear my neighbor's music sometimes, but they're pretty responsive if I ask them to turn it down.

LSP

Pros: location walking distance from campus, lots of closet space, responsive management and maintenance, reasonable cost for the area, gym and sundeck area with outdoor pool, partnership with grocery delivery service

Cons: gym is small with just few basic machines, older building, no in-unit laundry (but there is a basement laundry room with plenty of machines)

Reviewed by Feinberg Med Student living at The Grand Ohio
Perfect location for Feinberg, almost feels like a small slice of a college town because so many of your neighbors will be students, residents, nurses, etc at the hospital. You do get sirens fairly often depending on where you live since the emergency room is very close. The neighborhood doesn't have too many restaurants/bars but it is walking distance to River North and Gold Coast and the rest of the city is easily accessed by public transport. Much safer than most neighborhoods in Chicago.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at Lake Point Tower
Streeterville is a very nice neighborhood. There are plenty of parks and grocery stores. There is some late night crime due to the location downtown and close to the beach, but overall nothing worse than anywhere else.

There are some more expensive restaurants and fast food places. Navy Pier attracts a lot of tourists and they can be annoying to navigate around.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at McClurg Court Center
I enjoy living in Streeterville since it's near many of Chicago attractions without feeling overwhelming like in the Loop. I am able to walk around safely at night and I like going jogging in Millennium Park. My biggest complaint would be the lack of greenery in the area and how the city can feel a little bit insulating at times. Public transportation is great. This area is pricey, which is why I decided to have a roommate.
Reviewed by Madison R. living at Lake Shore Plaza
The Streeterville area was still pretty sleepy when I moved here three years ago. Since then, there has been an incredible amount of development. New luxury apartments and condos are going up, several new restaurants, a brand new target and Whole Foods. Its become a great place for professionals who enjoy living downtown, but without the club crowds in River North.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Axis
There are a few buses that are near by that help get residents down to the loop. Also it's pretty easy to walk around and the cross walks are pedestrian friendly. I'm always able to get around by foot and buses/trains. Streeterville is a very safe neighborhood and I've never felt unsafe walking around at night. The streets are well lit.
Noise is not usually too big of an issue in this neighborhood; it's pretty quiet at night.
There are multiple grocery stores nearby for multiple choices. Also there are a bunch of great places to eat so one will not get bored with options.
Reviewed by Feinberg Med Student living at The Grand Ohio
While on the expensive end in Chicago, streeterville is safe, has all the necessities (look for apts near grocery stores if you don't have a car!!), is super close to school (and most feinberg students so convenient for socializing), and is super close proximity to restaurants and bars.
Reviewed by University of Chicago Student living at The Streeter
This building is located in the center of everything you could possibly need. Whole foods and Jewel within walking distance, easy to get to the lake front, and plenty of good restaurants and bars. The only down side is that it does not really have a "neighborhoody" feel.
Reviewed by Feinberg Med Student living at Lake Shore Plaza
Love how close we are to the medical school, makes going to class really easy. A lot of students live in Streeterville so it is very easy to hangout with friends. There are also a few coffee shops in the neighborhood that are very fun to study at!
