Lincoln Park Boutique Hotel

My wife and I have been happy with our choice to move from our condo into Lincoln Park Flats, where we’ve lived for almost three years, since it first opened. We toured while the building was still under construction. We wondered if converting the second floor into a Boutique Hotel might affect our living situation, but it hasn’t inconvenienced us. Our one-bedroom-plus apartment suits our needs well. The kitchen layout is good, the counters are high quality, and the provided appliances all work well. The utilities are good too and do what they’re supposed to without problems. The staff have been friendly, helpful, and well informed from the start, and they maintain the building and grounds to a high standard. We worried about noise, but the construction quality, double walls between units, rear windows, and sliding glass door at the back keep it from becoming bothersome. We rarely hear other residents, and when we do, it’s very faint. The inside heated garage is convenient, well lit, and has security cameras like the rest of the building. The building feels very secure, with key fob access at the exterior doors, elevator, inside stairwell to the third and fourth floors, and individual units. We used to go to Anytime Fitness regularly while living in our condo, so finding a gym and exercise room here was a special treat. We use it often, and it’s clean, safe, and convenient. For me, this is a five-star rental, and we expect to live here for many years.

We’re very happy with the apartment, including the nice appliances and storage room. The building and parking garage feel secure, and it’s a plus to have access to the fitness area, large gathering area, and outdoor patio with a grill. Elyse, the property manager, was great to work with and made moving in easy and convenient.

I love living at Lincoln Park Flats. The apartment is just the right size for us, and the southern exposure suits my plants as much as it suits me. The kitchen is laid out nicely and has plenty of cabinet space. The building is quiet, and we don’t have trouble with strangers on our floor.

Parking was already a headache, and it sounds like it could get worse with the business moving into P&Rs lot across the street. The complex itself was fine, but I had a lot of encounters with homeless people being let in, so it didn't feel very secure. Maintenance also took more than a week on things that were essential for daily life, while new tenants faced increased rents. My biggest issue was the leasing agents: I trusted what they promised in writing, then caught them lying and watched them try to brush it off until I showed my evidence. I tried to deal with them in a friendly way, but their greed became clear. This feels like a money hungry company that doesn't care about its tenants.
