Coast at Lakeshore East Apartments

The management, front door staff, and maintenance staff are great. Always willing to help and go above and beyond. 4.5/5 for them. I’m giving this place 3/5 because of the type of residents that live here. The main crowd here are young 20-30s professionals and it gets LOUD and ROWDY. My neighbors are always throwing parties and blasting loud music at night. There’s always people yelling in the hallways. I’m primarily moving just because of how noisy the residents here are. I want peace and quiet... when I’m sleeping. Read More

Incredibly disappointed in my experience with Coast throughout the almost year I have lived here. The location is amazing and Lakeshore East is a great neighborhood. HOWEVER that does not make up for how bad this building and its management is. The apartments have super dated appliances that are constantly breaking, the window insulation is so bad that your floors are dripping wet in the winter time and you have no control over when the building turns on the AC so in the Spring, Summer and... sometimes Fall the apartments get up to 80+ degrees inside. The leasing office staff is USELESS and unhelpful, there are constantly cars getting broken into in the garage and there are not enough elevators for how many people live in this building. The bright points of the building are the wonderful front desk and maintenance staff and the view. For how much you pay it is not worth it. AVOID COAST AT ALL COSTS Read More

I just moved in a couple of months ago, and I find this place a great fit to live in the heart of the City - Chicago. Following are the reasons why:
1. The building offers some amazing views (Lake facing and South side parks) and plenty of apartment options to pick and choose the best one that fits our budget and expectations.
2. Great services provided from end to end - From start of the application till the date you move in to the apartment. Special thanks to Karim, Sarah, Sheila and team for... their assistance
3. Building amenities and others (Gym, lobby, reception services, Mail and Parcel room, library, resident lounge) are of great quality. They tend to maintain it nice and clean. The reception staff always makes you feel warm and welcome and do assists around often.
4. The apartment structure is nicely built, decent size - 1 bed in my case. Mix of wooden and Carpet flooring available. GE electrical appliance are in great shape as well
5. Maintenance and repair works - That's something inevitable with every apartment buildings, but Coast team does a fantastic job when it comes to assisting residents with fixing things and getting things back to working. Timely and professional.
6. Amazing public parks available in the vicinity which seems like a great fit for the summers.

Overall a great apartment building in the downtown Chicago area in terms of pricing and availability. Definitely worth moving in. Read More

5 stars! The Coast management staff and the front door staff are always personable, pleasant and accommodating. The location is excellent, the residents are respectful and polite, and the amenities are also top grade. The management team is very responsive and keeps the residents informed on activities. This is a well-run organization with a focus on Customer Service. I'm confident that you will be as delighted in Coast as I am.

i am so regret i rent the apartment. it appears nice at first. however, when you move in, you will find problems here and there. the kitchen closet door fall off only after two months i moved in. there are always spiders on the balcony. However, beside all of these kind of problems. the maintenance is the worst. i was forced to pay lots of money for the damage that is not cost by me. And they said to me that they are the boss, if you argue, i will charge more. Don't choose the apartment and let... yourself regret. Read More
