City - Dekalb

Almost 70 miles west of Chicago along Interstate 88 sits the city of Dekalb. Most residents, work, live and play in Dekalb itself rather than commuting to Chicago. For this reason, a wealth of businesses, restaurants, and entertainment venues exist in Dekalb. The city is also home to Northern Illinois University. The students of this large college make up much of the population of this town. The presence of the student body noticeably colors the otherwise quiet atmosphere of Dekalb. The town also contains a smaller airport and several parks, though residential housing makes up most of the city's land area.

Could be worse.

Moved in this past September for law school and I think I'll be out of here when my lease ends. I live in a studio -- it's a nice unit! Not much to complain about inside my apartment. Always have friendly encounters with staff too. Outside, however, the neighborhood and other tenants are loud. Don't be surprised to hear screaming in the building, loud cars gunning down varsity, or that a crime occurred around the corner.

Horrible Place

I went here in search of an apartment and was rudely treated. I simply asked if they had anything available and was told no. My 3yr sister had to use the bathroom and they told her no as well. When we asked to speak to the manager the manager and the employee that was rude they both laughed at our complaint and said they would call the police if we didn't leave. I later found out this apartment still has many units available.

11/17/15
Rough Area

The apartment is old for sure but once you get it decorated and moved in, it can be great. My unit doesnt have a bathroom vent and the bathroom itself is awkward small. However we can make it work. The real issue is the buildings student tenants. Talk about rude, loud, inconsiderate fools. You simply can't keep up with the amount of noise.

9/2/15
new place
