Streeterville is an urban neighborhood just north of downtown Chicago with tourist attractions, incredible lake views, and a picturesque city scape. Streeterville houses Northwestern University and is known for its welcoming community. The neighborhood’s main attraction is the Navy Pier, a former Navy training center, that’s been transformed into a tourism haven. Carnival rides, gift shops, eateries, lakefront views, beer garden, and evening fireworks in the summer months make for an incredible one-stop-shop for fun. There’s a wide variety of dining options in town, from four-star French cuisine to casual pub fare.
Downtown’s Museum of Contemporary Art is a big hit with locals and tourists, as is 360 Chicago that offers views from the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building complete with a tilting glass overlooking the city. The Ohio Street Beach is a popular public sandy spot on the lake with a beachside eatery, Caffe Olivia.

I moved to Chicago and into the Aston 4 years ago. I rented sight unseen because it was the middle of COVID and I didn’t want to fly on multiple times. I could not be more delighted and plan to never leave. My apartment is amazingly spacious and modern. The staff from the leasing office to the front desk to maintenance could not be nicer, more efficient or professional. The location is outstanding for buses, wonderful walking area in every direction, museums, shopping - it’s all just steps away. I could not be happier. Strongly recommend The Aston!

I am writing to share my outstanding experience with leasing an apartment at Aston. From the initial inquiry to the move-in process, every aspect of my interaction with the Aston team has been seamless and professional. The leasing staff (Kyle) were exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. They provided personalized attention, addressing all my questions and concerns with patience and expertise. Their dedication to ensuring my satisfaction throughout the leasing process was truly impressive. The apartments themselves are thoughtfully designed (except for the kitchen ventilation that's my only complaint), boasting modern amenities and a comfortable living space that has exceeded my expectations. The community is well-maintained, providing a safe and welcoming environment for residents to enjoy. In addition, the convenient location of Aston offers easy access to various attractions, shopping centers, and public transportation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced lifestyle. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my decision to lease an apartment at Aston. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone searching for a high-quality, hassle-free leasing experience. Thank you, Aston, for your commitment to excellence and for providing a wonderful home for me. Sincerely, Joy

Great front door staff, it's always a pleasure to see their faces when walking in or out of the building. Maintenance staff is also amazing, they respond very quickly to concerns and are always willing to help and fix things. Facilities are clean, the gym is very spacious and has a squat rack and weights up to 100lb. The pool is great. The terrace and rooftop are amazing with beautiful views of the city and lake.

Great building, location, and amenities, with space-efficient floorplans. Value for money! However, online payment options are still somewhat under-developed, and the entire building shakes whenever a large vehicle passes by (drawback of the otherwise fantastic location).

I love my new apartment at the Aston Chicago. Everyone is so friendly. The location is perfect. I moved to Chicago from the Bay Area. I came for the beautiful city, the arts and the ability to walk around safely. Transportation and everything I love from the views from my windows to the staff is excellent. The front desk staff are friendly and professional. They remembered my name from day one. That is impressive. Leasing staff - just great. Kevin was my interface and worked with my Chicago friends to tour the building. I rented site unseen except for a virtual tour thanks to Kevin. Maintenance people are great and work very hard. I sold a condo and wanted no more of condo politics and headaches. I love being a renter after 40 years. I couldn't be happier.

Aston Apartments allowed my husband and I to move from Portland to Oregon in a matter of a week. I landed a new job and Gina FaceTimed us and was thorough making it easy to pick our apartment without physically seeing it. This really is a luxury apartment where everyone is welcomed, and cared for. Ive lived in a lot of places where management and profit is priority and here the residents are the priority. So glad we chose to live here!

Perfectly situated in the center of the city, Aston is your home away from home. Loving the day care service at the street level of the building. Caterpillar Care is the best!

Aston is a wonderful building, with a great front desk staff that's very friendly. Cleaning/Maintenance is constantly keeping amenities clean. The gym/indoor pool can eliminate your need to look for a gym outside your apartment. The location and views from the upper floors are one of a kind.

Great location. Lousy procedures for updating the ameneties. Air BnBs go unchecked though the building doesn't permit them. Multiple kids use amenities without supervision from the Air BnB access ruining quality of life at The Aston. Windows locked for 6 months now with 0 updates of progression. Management openly lies in presence of residents when touring potential renters with spoof updates on amenities being updated or doesnt mention that windows are locked.I understand the building recently came under new management, but for the current rent rates, they are doing a lousy job at maintaining community integrity.

Locked Windows; Unsafe Building
Aston has had our windows locked since December 2018, making it impossible to cook and properly ventilate the apartment or get any fresh air at all. And, to make matter worse, management has not explained why our windows are locked or when they will be reopened. Do not move here! It is not safe and terribly mismanaged!

Bad experience
Worst living experience. Building has constant issues with water pressure, lifts, pool and spa often out of order. The management are often in delay with their communications of issues. They are not responsive in a speedy manner to address building and residents issues. You need chase them daily. On top of all they locked all windows and with poor cooking vents it is impossible to cook let alone live with no fresh air in a hot box. The positives of this building are the door men and ladies, the cleaners and the fabulous maintenance team. If not for them we would have left much sooner. If you are looking for luxury living don't waste time on Aston

Toured twice
As a real estate developer I’m aware of the building components and processes. I have toured twice. I’m very impressed with quality, art work, flair of the Building. I’m shocked the amount of amenities provided and direct access into Whole Foods. As with any new Building, house etc unless it’s a cookie cutter there are bugs that have to be worked out and plan on building staff, subcontractors coming in after your moved in for up to a year tweaking this and that. In addition, just because you purchase building components new does not mean it’s perfect or installed correctly. It takes time. I also feel when people State for the amount of money I’m paying perhaps are living beyond their means. Your implying that somehow justifies your problem. Simply ask you hsge it looked at. It it’s not corrected ask for removal and replacement After all folks it’s all under warranty. They will not release final payment to contractor who installed it and have it replaced even if it means repiping the whole building.

Seems awesome, but there are compromises to be made
Pros: -Building staff is awesome. The staff working at the front desk are very friendly, accommodating, and always have a great attitude. The maintenance staff is very helpful. I'll occasionally bump into staff from the leasing office and even they are friendly and helpful. -Nice location -Awesome gym. It includes: plenty of machines for lifting and cardio, free weights, deadlift mat, basketball court, steam room, pool, and even a deck to cool off on -Awesome view from top floor, includes grills, 2 fire-pits, a hot tub, tables and chairs to sit / sunbathe on. -On the same block as Whole Foods -7 min walk from red line -15 min walk from blue line Cons: -Elevators are painfully slow. There have been more then one instance where I had to wait 10 mins to get from the entrance to my room and vice versa. Once I even had to take the stairs since they were all out of service for an extended period of time. -It is common for 1, out of the 4, elevator to be out of service -Grills are often out of service, don't heat up very fast, and they don't have built in thermometers -All appliances are electric (which is not included in the utilities package, gas is but you'll rarely use it here) -Windows are poorly insulated -Pool, roof, and resident lounge shut down and are locked after 11pm -Cheep eggshell paint used on walls. Easily becomes dirty and is fragile to clean -Floor is cheep (or cheaply sealed) and susceptible to warping -Small washer and dryer -Water temperature noticeably fluctuates during showers -Package receiving doesn't cover the whole weekend (Sundays are closed, Saturday is only open until 3pm)

Great Staff, Good Location, Horrible Building
I rent a 3-bed, 3-bath unit on the second-top floor of Optima Chicago Center with a couple of friends. Since moving here, I've been generally unhappy with the living conditions. For what we're paying, this is a terrible value. Let me start by saying that the entire staff, from leasing to the front desk to maintenance, is wonderful. They are always responsive and nice, and I'm very happy to have them here. They save Optima from a 1-star rating. Now, the bad... I could go on and on, but for the sake of brevity I'll limit my complaints to just the top two: bad plumbing and overall cheap stuff. Almost every day, I get burned by the water from my shower or bathroom sink faucet. Temperatures will fluctuate wildly, and I even bought a thermometer to record that it can sometimes go from ~95°F to ~135°F without moving the handle. We've also already had a couple of sink leaks from loose seals. Examples of "cheap stuff" include grills that are always in disrepair, eggshell paint that's impossible to clean, poor insulation especially near the windows, and a tiny washer dryer (but at least it's in-unit). For a building completed in 2013, a lot of assumptions I made when touring the place turned out to be very false. At least this experience has taught me an expensive lesson: you can never be too careful when assessing an apartment!

Optima Center - Chicago
Beautiful property with stunning views. The wrap-around deck and rooftop are amazing. Best views in Chicago I would argue. I can almost forget I'm not in Miami!!

The Optima Chicago Building
This building has definitely more positives than negatives. this is my second year here and I witnessed management changes once so far. The new management seems to try hard to make residents very happy and they are doing a great job at it. maintenance team is excellent and very hard working and you can count on them fixing any problem you report right the next day. The layout of the apartment is very smart and well thought of. great appliances and wood floor in the living and kitchen area. Bathroom are spacious and pretty with granite floor. The view from many apartments is breathtaking. the indoor pool and gym area is great and clean. the lounge area is on the 32nd floor and is very spacious with free coffee and internet, pool table and table tennis - large professional size grill - perfect setting for parties and gathering ( I hosted 3 big parties there). You can also rent the whole space for private party. The rooftop is amazing with a Jacuzzi, big grill, and incredible view. The doormen are incredible (one of the best i have dealt with so far). Great business center with brand new machines. Extra laundry room in the building for your big loads (washer and dryer is in every unit still). Dry clean service in the building. Brazilian steak house in the building (which is amazing). unbeatable location with everything within walking distance. The only thing negative - to me at least- is that the insulation between apartments is not the best so you can sure hear noises ( not too loud though) from behind walls. so depend on how sensitive you are to this issue. Overall a great building with great management. I definitely recommend it.
