We really love the green initiative that Amli takes. Our unit is always very nice and warm, we rarely used our heat through winter!

The office staff is attentive, kind, and very helpful with any and all issues + they are enjoyable to work with, as they are kind and so friendly! The new Amli manager, Beric, has been wonderful to work with through our end of lease process. He and his staff have been very cooperative and kind, as we navigate moving through a pandemic. We would highly recommend anyone to the Amil homes.

There are a few positives about AMLI Evanston--such as spacious units that stay warm in winter…read morewithout needing heat, a well-equipped fitness center, and a responsive maintenance team for basic tasks. But unfortunately, none of those outweigh the serious, ongoing issue that made my time here extremely difficult: persistent and unresolved noise disturbances. Sound insulation between units is almost nonexistent. From the unit above, I could regularly hear heavy footsteps that caused subtle floor vibrations, water running in the bathroom, appliances being plugged in, slamming doors, and even washer and dryer cycles. These noises happened frequently and unpredictably--especially in the early morning hours between 6 and 7 AM--often waking me up and making it hard to get back to sleep. I reported this issue consistently over the course of several months. I first brought it up in person and then followed up by email. The management office instructed me to call the emergency line whenever the noise occurred so it could be tracked. I did just that, calling during early morning disturbances as instructed. Later, I was told not to call again until an investigation was completed. After that, weeks went by with no update. Eventually, I was told that no action could be taken because the noise had not been verified during office hours--even though I had explained repeatedly that the disturbances occurred outside those hours. At one point, management even advised me to call the police to knock on my neighbor's door, which I found entirely impractical and unhelpful--especially given the early morning timing. In an effort to help, I stayed up through multiple mornings and recorded audio clips. Capturing the sounds was extremely difficult due to their low pitch and sporadic nature. After submitting the clips and receiving no reply, I followed up again. Only then was I told that I could call the emergency line to request a real-time investigation by on-call maintenance--a step that could have been communicated much earlier. Eventually, a maintenance staff member did visit around 6:30 AM and confirmed that the noise was not mechanical, but came from normal living activity in the unit above--exactly what I had been reporting all along. Even after this in-person confirmation, the management office concluded that the noise was "normal" and not excessive. That was the final response. No solution, no further assistance--despite months of communication, documentation, and repeated disruption to my sleep and daily life. In my eight years of apartment living, I've never experienced noise issues this severe, or such a disorganized and ineffective process for handling them. The lack of soundproofing is obvious--and something anyone could easily test during a short tour of the unit. Side note: If you're hoping to transfer to another unit to escape a noise issue, be aware that AMLI requires six successful rent payments and charges a transfer fee. In my case, the only real choices were to endure months of daily noise or pay a steep lease buy-out fee--which is ultimately what I had to do.

My parents lived here through the end of their lives and their friends in the building were so dear, and wonderful -- people they would never have met had they not moved to this vibrant community. Staff here is friendly and reasonably competent. Building is always clean. Parking is only $100/month with free weekly carwashing. No trouble with theft. Easy in-out onto Sheridan Road because there is a stoplight at the corner. The condo has been in our family now over a decade! We live in the only double condo, which is almost 4,000 square feet. We are planning to put it on the market spring/summer 2013 when we move into a single family house down the street. Our kids need a yard. Still, walking up to the roof-top pool here from our 41st floor condo feels like taking a vacation in the Caribbean, as you can see 360 degrees thanks to the beautiful glass walls around the pool deck. Views are stunning from the condos and from the roof. Fireworks last July 4 on the roof was great -- swimming under the pops and bangs in the soft summer air. Sooo nice!

Bill seems to think himself above human decency and refused to respond to any emails or inquiries and I felt my application with 800+ credit score was rejected due to either the listing being a scheme to collect application fees or for Bill already having an applicant in mind and not doing his job in good faith. I also heard from someone while visiting the property that he wasn't pushing needed repairs for one of the current tenants because he wanted them out, so I probably dodged a bullet. I guess I am a fool for expecting more from humanity than this, but I would avoid Schermerhorn and Bill Cannon especially. Housing isn't something you should be so blasé about.
