Did a virtual tour with Theo and it was amazing! I loved what I saw and he was very helpful with answering my questions. He showed great rapport and was very professional.

Came in to tour and liked what I saw , the leasing agent Theo was very thorough and Professional, great guy to work with when signing up for your next place to call home. Definitely recommend!!

The company will charge you $200 damage charge without the apartment being damaged. My apartment was not damage. It was very clean and I have pictures. It smelled very bad on the second floor and it had roaches and large waterbugs

Building itself is okay. However management is terrible. I’ve had several missing packages in the mail, and when I notify management they couldn’t care less. Avoid ordering anything valuable to be sent to this address. There are thieves in this building who obviously get away it. I even came home to my apartment with the door left unlocked, wide open. Notified management, and guess what....nothing! Luckily nothing was missing. Also, they are slow to fix maintenance issues. AND there have been a few sightings of roaches within the building, crawling on the walls in the hallway. If these things don’t bother you, and you’re looking for an apartment with cheap rent and a good view of the lake, take a shot at it. I however will NOT be renewing my lease. Good luck!

The apartment is clean and nice. But the management company makes us angry. 1. In order to find someone to get the AC installed, I went to the office and made the phone call for over 5 times in 3 weeks' time. No one shows up. 2. The first month we moved in and no one tells us to pay the rent before the deadline. And $60 late fee was generated and they sent a staff to our door to inform us that immediately. If other services are that efficient, we wouldn't complain that much. 3. The mail room is inside the management office, which seems secure. But they have very limited office hour, which means it can be very hard to get my packages sometimes. 4. The gym is in the main building and most of us don't have access to it except those who live in the tower(which is only a small portion of residents). We have to get the permission by the management office everytime we enter which is really annoying. 5.The office staff has bad attitude. They always show us face of ignorance.

If you have the chance to see my review, please keep in mind that AVOID THIS PLACE. The manager is rude and pretend like there is nothing they can do but receive your rent. The walls are paper thick that they cannot isolate any noise. I have a noisy neighbor and every time she turns on TV, I can hear it from everywhere in my apartment. All the facilities and equipments are old and lack good maintenances and make me feel like this building is built 100 years ago and has never been renovated. All they keep nice is their leasing office. In winter, they turn up the heating to burn you but not give you warm. I have asked them to adjust heating by weather but they refused. I have to open my window in winter to keep cool. In summer, the apartment turns to be super hot and the AC is not working well. And roaches are every in summer no matter how clean your apartment is.

In May 2016, I moved into York Terrace because the neighbor is quite, trendy and affordable. Also, the location is across from Mercy hospital, McCormick Place, 31st Street beach, 10 minutes from downtown Chicago, accessible to public transportation via CTA buses, Green line trains, divvy bikes, cabs, lyfts and ubers. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a night out on the town, you can jump in a uber or walk to the South loop for a variety of restaurants and/or entertainment. Another great feature about residing at York Terrace is you can pay your rent and request work orders on-line, as well as, the cooking and heating is included in the rent. In my opinion, the entire staff always maintains a professional manner and their responsibilities are vast considering the amount of residents living at York Terrace. In addition, I really appreciate that all of my requests are handled in a timely and professional manner. Most importantly, the management and maintenance staff services as a team is exemplary. ~Ms. M. Shannon

I moved into a two bedroom apartment last February and really like it. I love the floor to ceiling windows and all the sun and light my apartment gets. In two weeks, I will be moving the three bedroom duplex in the low rise building and I'm very excited. After spending 20 years in the South Loop, I wasn't sure how this would stack up, but I have adjusted just fine. I love the enclosed complex because it makes it very private. My neighbors have been really nice as well. It is close to everything which I really love the most. I can walk to the lake in the summer, which is also a plus. Having my own parking is a real treat too. There are a lot of nice things about living in York Terrace.

I currently live in York Terrace Apartments. I was drawn to this building because of the price and have enjoyed living there, but I believe the building needs some serious updates. The ventilation in the building is bad and the key card swipe never did seem to work correctly even after they attempted to fix it. The units are quite lovely and they were working on updating some which was a treat. I would recommend this apartment to those looking for affordable housing near the major colleges in the area (Columbia, Depaul, UIC, IIT) I would also recommended it to those who are the working class. Upper and middle class should look at the town homes in the area in my opinion.

Basically, York Terrace is a pretty good management office. They respond to most of my complaints (if I have any) pretty well, although not necessarily to be in a timely manner, but its ok, as long as they get the job done. The location is quite good, considering you'd only take about 10-20 minutes to south loop by bus. The rent is not that expensive, which is very nice, but you pretty much get what you paid for. If you are not very picky about where you live and just want an apartment that is close to your school Columbia College, IIT, UIC) then this place might be a good idea to consider. Plenty of street parking but you need permit for that and also resident parking with extra fee too.
