Living in Oglesby Towers offers a prime location being steps from the lake and public transportation, a dream for someone without a car. All of the staff is friendly, professional, and truly care about the tenants' concerns and requests. The apartments are lovely and have outstanding views. It's why I have lived here since 1997 and will continue to do so.

I was okay there but I had problem with the location and the fridge that used lots of energy and also a lot of other residents didn't follow the policy of non-smoking. also some times I meet some addicted people in the tower who were other resident. finally the amount of rent was so high that based on the location it wasn't worth
