EVANSTON, ILLINOIS

Skyline at Evanston
"This is a great community to live in. There is a nice sized parking garage, the high rise style apartments are beautiful, and the views it gives you are amazing. The leasing staff is top notch and the community is very nice. There are many places to shop in the surrounding areas as well. The pricing is affordable and the residents that live there are also very friendly. If you are looking for new residence in the Evanston area, Skyline at Evanston is the perfect choice for you!!

DEER CREEK, ILLINOIS

Phillips Apartments
"This is an old school building that was turned into apartments in the 60's. The building has a locked front entrance, but there is little privacy and the building is noisy. The landlord's family resides in one of the apartments and they are quick to complain of anything they do not like to the landlord. The carpet and fixtures are old and rundown. The town blows the tornado siren everyday at noon and nine. The small town, of 700 people, is a nice place to live, but this apartment building and its owner are not. "(2009)

WHEATON, ILLINOIS

The Amli Apartments
"In 2007 after graduating college, my girlfriend and I moved to the Amli apartments at Danada Square in Wheaton, Illinois. We were immediately unimpressed with the type of service we were to receive from the Amli staff. Throughout the 11 months that we have lived here, we have received numerous letters informing us that our dog mess has not been cleaned up outside. It seems as if Amli's response to a turd found by their staff is to send out a threatening letter to all of the residents in the nearby building that own dogs saying that they will be charged $50 for each pile of crap. At another point in the lease, we made a request to clear a clog in the shower drain. I came home from work to find a letter saying that they had replaced the shower head which was working fine. The drain on the other hand was still clogged and remained so until I bought some drain-o. Amli also ignored for several months a burnt-out street lamp that created a safety issue for the tenants. Even after they sent out a letter explaining that several vehicles in the area had been broken into, they neglected the need to have adequate lighting in the parking lots. In the eighth month of the lease, we received a letter claiming that we still owed $100 towards our deposit. Apparently Amli had put that money towards our rent instead of the deposit and expected us to take care of the difference 8 months later. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we were getting ready to move out. Roughly a month and a half prior to the end of our lease, I contacted Amli to find out what our pro-rated month of rent would be. They told me that because I did not give a written notice at least 60 days in advance, I would have to pay rent for 60 days from that date. This meant that not only would I have to pay for 2 weeks of rent in which I would not be living in the apartment but the rate would be about $300 more than what the original lease was at. I would never live at Amli apartments again and would strongly encourage others to find an apartment complex that respects its tenants and knows how to do business."(2009)

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

The Chicagoan
"This is a great building with fantastic amenities. We loved living here except for one person in the management office - the main property manager named Bonnie Wu. She is probably the most unaccomodating apartment manager I have ever met. I think the management could do a lot more to retain existing residents. If you ever want to negotiate anything with Ms. Wu, good luck! Ain't happening! For a management that has so many buildings around Chicago, you'd think that customer service would be their top priority...completely not true when you have people like Ms. Wu managing the Chicagoan!"

MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS

Forest Cove Apartment
"Huge Mistake if you move in Forest Cove -Mount Prospect, IL. Please Read my entire story prior making a decision to move here. I read some of the earlier posts and decided to move in here. I was shown a model display of 1 and 2 BDR Apts. Upon my further interest to rent an apartments (as some good reviews were in back of my mind) The office staff told me that the only apartments that were available were the ones facing Busse Road. In summer of year 2006 is when I moved into one of the bldgs facing Busse Road. Upon my moving into the apartments all my excitement died out the same day and I was sadden and deeply shocked to learn that, per the leasing office staff statement the 6 years old Carpets (where dogs and Cats are allowed) was not replaced and cleaned. My Rent was $850 plus extra $85 as tax. Further as my move in proceeded I started to open up blinds to look outside the window. Where I got another shock. The Bedroom window was broken and if attempted to open could fall off. The next day of my move in I began to call the leasing office and spoke directly with the manager (there are Benetta and Joan former manager) . After giving me months of fake promises I was very bluntly told NO! The cracked and windows will not be replaced. The manager said on several occasions that there were a total of 9 apartments she needed to fix but does not have a window supplier and hence the window will never be fixed!!!! Then came the winter of 2006. It was soo cold inside . Always 50 degrees. Because of draft coming from the patio door and broken windows. I would keep up the heat to 90 degrees such that the temp in the apartment would be 65 degrees. I called many times to the leasing office to get the heat fixed . But every single time it was a horrible failure. The Maintenance man can't figure out how to fix the heat so he came with a scotch tape and permanently taped up all the edges of the broken window and patio door. That brutal winter went by in this struggle. Its 2009 now and I still have problem with my heat and drafts coming from patio door and broken window. And by the way the patio and the window are permanently sealed to never be opened again Other problems that everyone will experience if they move in Forest Cove apartments. 1) No Salt or snow removal id done during winter 2) The front apartment door - Main door and also the sub floor apartment door closes very loudly. To imagine how loud it can be is a wall hanging can fall off when the floor exit door closes. 3) Busse Road is not a normal quite neighborhood road but rather it is the one that connects to I-90 interstate. It is extremely noisy with added noise of hawnking of the Cars and Trucks. 4) Randomly Cars have broken into for stealing. 5) There is also for some reason which I do not know why but cops are here a lot. Some times its like 5 to 6 cars with their signals turned on and it very scary to see all this and still pay $850 per month for 1 BDR apartment. Please look for a place somewhere else where your money is fully worth your spending it. "(2009)
