14 West Elm Apartments

We just re-signed for our 3rd year!

Awesome location in the heart of the Gold Coast within walking distance of the CTA Red Line, grocery stores, restaurants, bars, shopping— you name it! I moved here from Florida and didn’t know much about Chicago neighborhoods, but I LOVE this area!

Although the building itself is a bit older, it is very well kept and always super clean. Renovations were recently done on the elevators and there have been virtually no problems since. Between the key fob… operated front doors and doorman on duty every evening, the building always feels safe. Awesome rooftop area with lounge chairs, grills, and a beautiful view of the city and lake! Really nice fitness room in the basement with a great variety of equipment (even a new Peloton!). While I do wish there was in-unit laundry, there is a large laundry room in the basement as well. I love our 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit; the perfect size, no maintenance problems, always nice and warm in the winter (again, Florida, so that’s a big deal!), and an amazing view of the city/John Hancock building outside our window.

Everyone from the leasing office to the doorman to the maintenance staff to the cleaning team are super nice and always greet you with a smile. We definitely feel at home here :) Read More

There were no unpleasant surprises when I moved in. If you live on a lower floor you can hear the bars next door, but that is to be expected when you live on a lower floor next to a bar. The heating system is older and knocks and there is no AC, but again I knew this before I moved in and those are the biggest issues.
The location is awesome. You can easily walk along Michigan Ave, the beach front, the river walk and so many other places are in easy walking distance. It's also right next… to a Jewel and a CVS, so it is easy to get groceries and other necessities. It's also close to the Clark and Division red line stop which makes commuting easy.
The maintenance have quickly fixed all the issues that came up in my apartment and all the office staff and doorman are nice people.
Overall if you are looking for a place in a great location with a nice staff, it's the place to be. Just know that there are nicer apartments in this area of the city, but they all cost a lot more. Read More

Very helpful and friendly staff, nice units and common areas, prime location and a great value. No complaints after living here for a year.

As a first time apartment renter, I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The apartment itself (2 bed 1 bath) is spacious yet cozy, has a decent amount of storage space, and has character with an archway into the living area and an alcove in the wall to decorate. The staff are all SO friendly, very responsive, and helpful. The maintenance crew also has a great response rate and has always fixed any issues. The gym is a great amenity and the laundromat area is very clean. The location can not… be beat!! Overall it’s been a great place to live. Read More
