If you own a car, definitely consider living in Old Town. It's a neat neighborhood with way more to do than South Loop (also you can walk to the best TNDCs), it's a hop away from Lake Shore Drive so you'll beat your friends from MPP to school, and you're next to the largest park in the city - Lincoln Park. It's also 5 minutes from North Avenue beach, arguably the best beach in the city. There's a rooftop pool, gym, and the apartments are nice.

Killer views and location. Small number of people live in Old Town/Lincoln Park from Rush, but being so close to the lake has some huge perks. Apt is pet friendly and the park is ideal for pet owners. Not ideal for someone who doesn't own a car as it is 0.5-0.7 mile away from the Brown & Red lines - both of which require changes to get to school. Easy 15-20 min drive though. Rent is a little steep, but it includes a lot. It's also rent controlled so not sure what the building is going for now.

This apartment is awesome and maintenance is super responsive. It's great being across the street from the park and the beaches. I love waking up to a lake view every morning! The building also has a gym, pool and sauna (which I like using in the winter for stress relief). Prices for apartments vary greatly depending on high up and what side that you are facing. There's also a Farmer's Market across the street every Saturday and Wednesday in the spring/summer/fall. Plenty of street parking for guests and always things happening in the park. There's also tons of nightlife on Wells St with bars, restaurants and Second City! Cons are that it's a 7-10 minute walk to the closest L station and that you have to switch trains if you are trying to get to Rush and the driving commute is approx 20 mins which is on the longer side. Not many other med students live around here. But ideal if you want to have a little distance from school.

This building is truly fantastic. Fantastic amenities like I've seen no where else, and a roof deck that's truly impressive. There's a full gym and business center, and an in house dry cleaner. The doormen are amazing people who truly care about the residents, and any issues with the apartment (even including dead light bulbs) are dealt with promptly by the janitorial staff. This building is beautiful.

I'm a student at Loyola, and this is a super convenient location for that. I have been here for 3 years so far, and intend to finish my last year here as well. My girlfriend and I are super happy with the inside of the apartment as well. Its got central heating, and cooling. Views could be better but overall its a nice spot.

Well, you certainly pay a lot to live here, so it makes sense that the experience is good. Staff is super friendly and always helpful. And the apartments are well sized with AMAZING views. Only downside now is construction that's currently getting in the way. Some days I'll wait 15 minutes for an elevator...

Building offers an amazing view of Lake Michigan over looking North Ave Beach. The rooftop pool is a great spot int eh summer to meet some other the neighbors. The gym in the building is pretty large for a condo building gym. The price for the units is a little high for what else is out there but over all its a great building.

Eugenie Terrace has a spectacular view, with really good value. The apartments are a little expensive, but living right on Clark is so convenient. The lake is right in front of your face, and there is a ton that is within walkable distance from the building. Additionally, the gym is nice and easy because it's located right in the building.

LOVE the location, in relation to the neighborhood... but being on such a busy street is a little rough sometimes and the wind is HORRIBLE in the winter. The bitter cold from the lake literally makes a person want to die. Management is AMAZING at home

While on the expensive side, I've loved living at Eugenie Terrace. The amenities are awesome. I typically am skeptical of apartment gyms, but our building has one of the best apartment gyms I've ever used. The units are beautiful and I love the view from my apartment. Lastly, I've found management to be friendly and easy to work with. They've put together a few events over the course of the year which have been so much fun. It's great to meet your neighbors and make some new friends in the city!
