The bus options are vast enough to get you anywhere and you can be at north Ave beach or the lake shore path in a few minutes walking. P.s. it just feels safe too which is a good feeling when you work downtown!

Designed, built, and managed by Magellan, you can tell a great deal of thought went in to convert an old golf driving range to the neighborhood that is here now. Location, location, location between the loop, lake, river, and park! The Lancaster offers unbeatable views of the neighborhood park and lake. Made primarily of glass, the views are never obscured. The rooftop garden and lounge is massive and well kempt. A large gym and party room offer plenty of ways to spend your time. Climate controlled indoor parking for each condo. The building is the oldest in Lakeshore East now at about 10 years, but you can tell the construction and detail is far better than newer rentals like Coast, Regatta, Shoreham, or Tides. The 4 pipe HVAC, fiber internet, noise isolation, and fit/finish all highlight this. The staff, community, and residents of the Lancaster make you feel at home. There are many building parties and events that I am excited to partake in. People are talkative and friendly. They even have their own social network! Put all of this together and you have a very nice place to call home.

The Chicago river is behind the building so one can walk around the path. There are two dog parks nearby, which your pup will surely love! Chase bank is in front of the building. There is a parking garage across for visitors. You can try to find a spot on the street but since Larrabee is free parking, it gets full pretty quickly. They just opened up a new Starbucks a block away, too. Streets nearby are permit at night and pay to park in the morning. Bus stops for both east and west directions are a couple steps outside. The staff have all been amazing and friendly. If we needed help, they responded quickly. It's a plus that my pup loves them! Whenever my dog hears Kevin's voice, she knows she'll get a treat. They have a bottle of treats in the front for homeowners with dogs. Great building and investment for those who are interested! PS: A few food truck parks across the street. The Fat Shallot is delicious!

The Pros: the building has a great location, most units offer fantastic views of the lake. It is directly across the street from the lake front and walking trails. The building has a three floor FFC, deli, and on-site dry cleaning. It is fully staffed with friendly door people, management, and maintenance. The cons: it is clear the staff hates move ins / move outs and will treat movers like second class citizens. They don't respect the time blocks for moves and might start your move late or end it early (adding stress to moving day). The buildings forced air system also pushes smells of marijuana into your unit if neighbors smoke. There is a planned 20+ story tower to be constructed in front which may block views and add noise / dirt through construction. I would move back to the building but only on a high floor and in a unit that had been recently renovated.

Since the last review of this building is from 2012, I am simply copying my review of Enterprise…read moreCompanies onto this one. I had previously lived in Wrigleyville and had a terrible experience, as the building I lived in had a different landlord for each individual unit. Long story short, no one was accountable for anything and nothing ever got done since there were roughly 30 different landlords in one building. Upon reading these reviews, I was nervous about moving in but I loved the unit I saw in the Brewery Lofts so I signed the lease anyways. I've been living there for roughly 7 months and I have to say, they are on top of everything and their response time is great. They are in the process of renovating all the units in this building, so when I moved in I had a brand new kitchen counter with new appliances. They also recently installed new bathroom cabinets for more storage in my bathroom. Here are some bullet points: -my neighbors above me were smoking so much weed my apartment smelled like straight weed the first week I moved in. They came and inspected all my fans and air ducts, re-sealed the seam between my ceiling and the wall to make sure no smoke came in that way, and fined my neighbors. -there are no dogs allowed in the building for any reason at any time (unless it's a service dog). Another neighbor tried to dog-sit some dogs over a long weekend that would not stop barking. They were served with a 10 day eviction notice to get rid of the dogs, which they did. -they have an emergency after hours maintenance service that has consistently responded within an hour for any maintenance request I have. They came and fixed my furnace immediately when it was -20, my shower handle that fell off on a Saturday monday, and sealed my windows for the winter. -storage units are first come, first serve. some people were taking advantage of the storage units when I moved in and claiming 2 storage units per apartment. Enterprise reorganized all the storage units and made tenants re-file with them which storage units they had, to make sure each apartment had only one unit. Because of this, a few units opened up and I was able to get a unit. Jen Danisch and Nicky Rodriguez are always available during the day, and never hard to reach. They always immediately respond to any request or complaint a tenant has, and because of this, I plan on renewing my lease in October.

The gym seems a little bit of an after-thought but compared to other on-site apartment gym's it's up to par. Also, the washing machines are still coin operated (card operated would be awesome). The only reason I'll ever leave this building is if I adopt a dog, as you can only have cats on this property!

While we enjoyed our city life, we decided to move to 500 N Lake Shore Drive after viewing 10 other options.

(A recent Plains State visitor, after a summer weekend here, said "You guys live in a resort!") Some days, it feels that way. The building is owned and managed by The Related Company. Related builds, leases out, and manages their own buildings. Such complete vertical integration results in a wonderful rental experience. Property Management, Concierges, and Maintenance all work together on a daily basis (including daily staff meetings among all of them) to help ensure that residents have a quality daily living experience. The amenities are all here - pool and pool deck with 6 grills (kept spotless by staff if a resident fails to clean up after their use), spa, huge Equinox Gym (also owned by Related), Common Area featuring fireplaces, pool table, and work/study areas, business center, special event rental rooms, dedicated dog wash, and Amazon Package pick-up lockers for secure package delivery. 500 N LSD has got it all. The staff - as a group - are bend-over-backwards accommodating and friendly. They pay attention to detail and are always willing to do the little things to make living here an exceptional experience. Resident parking attached to the building is operated by LAZ Parking, and have been easy to work with. We've been here for almost a year, and are thrilled we made the move we did. Unqualifiedly recommended!

He was rude and dismissive from the moment I arrived, and made me feel discriminated against because of my appearance and accent.

I truly hope management addresses this kind of behavior so that all guests and residents are treated with the dignity they deserve.

The garden was a one way direction to prevent back and forth amongst guests. Fountains were shut off (more likely because it was fall, but I'm not totally certain on that). Parking was $14 but secure and simple rather than trying your luck on the streets. We had a fun time.

You can't say no to going for a run as its so close by when its warmer out. As far as the building is concerned, its always clean in the hallways, and even the neighbors are friendly and pleasant. Pets are welcome as well. It's in a great location, and that says so much. Some of the units are privately owned, so you may be able to get a good bargain with the right person.
