Left bench
M C.

Leaving 5 stars but I'm only here to ask the team at Alta Roosevelt a favor. Can you guys please pick up the bench in your outdoor area next to the pool? I'm over at Amli Lofts and this view is pretty much all I have now

We decided to move after the pandemic hit after finishing our 1.5 year lease. All amenities were unavailable due to the shutdown (they stated they would not be giving any sort of credit to your rent) and we decided it was not worth staying in a one bedroom apartment where none of the amenities were available for use which is what convinced us to sign our lease in the first place instead of a MUCH cheaper competitor. We also had a few staff members (we love the maintenance staff, cleaning crew and front desk staff by the way! This review is strictly about the leasing office/management team which these other teams/fellow team members also seem to dislike) mention how there were favorites in the leasing office and we began noticing a little around our one year mark what they meant (maybe there was a change in leadership? - we noticed some new faces). We had a few instances we did not necessarily agree with how they went about things. So we moved out on our scheduled day and left the apartment in perfect condition except for the following: tv mount holes, paint peeled off when we took off the command strips for a few frames (which I assume shows the quality of the paint used), paint needed above our bathroom door and coat closet door due to a towel hook we hung over (the door was the exact measure of the frame so it would scrape the frame when you would try to close the door as there was no extra space between the door and frame), about a four inch scratch on our refrigerator door due to a fridge magnet, scratches in the interior of the door due to our dogs. There were no move out inspections "due to COVID"; however the maintenance team would still make visits for any requests wearing masks and would only request tenants complete a form stating you have not been exposed or experienced any symptoms. The leasing office could have scheduled a move out inspection with this same protocol or while residents were not home in order to avoid charging unnecessary costs but this obviously worked to their advantage. This is where it gets good! We were charged a total of $967.50 to replace the entire front door due to the dog scratches ($300), the entire refrigerator door due to the 4 inch scratch ($597.50) and for paint touch ups ($70). I obviously voiced my opinion and expressed my disappointment with the leasing office as I did not have very good experiences with them prior to this as well and they "met me halfway" and reduced the cost to replace the entire refrigerator door to half the price (-$298.75). When I expressed how I didn't understand how I was being charged at all to replace the entire front door for dog scratches and a refrigerator door for a small scratch (which was twice as expensive as the front door and I assumed would be considered regular wear and tear), I received a snarky attitude saying how they've already worked with me and that they're doing me a "favor" by not charging me for painting a closet door or for a dirty microwave and stove. (I don't know about you but I would much rather pay for paint and cleaning fees than to replace entire front doors and refrigerator doors) Please see the photos they included as proof of all the "damages" costing nearly $1,000, my dirty stove and microwave and the response I received from the leasing office

We chose this building in part because of the advertised amenities, but our experience with them…read morehas been consistently disappointing, as has the level of responsiveness from the management office. * Sauna: To our knowledge, the sauna has been out of service since we moved in. It was working when we toured, but we have not seen it operational at any point since becoming residents. * Hot tub cleanliness: On February 28, 2026, when we turned on the hot tub jets, a grimy black film resembling dirt began accumulating in the water. I took photos that night (see attached). This raised serious concerns about maintenance and cleanliness. * Swimming lessons representation and lack of response: During our tour in November 2025, a leasing staff member told us that free swimming lessons were offered to renters, and we confirmed this multiple times because it mattered to us. After moving in, an onsite swimming instructor told us that, to his understanding, there are no free lessons. When we mentioned we had been told the lessons were free and asked whether he had heard similar questions from other residents, he told us yes. We emailed management on February 19, 2026 asking how to enroll or to clarify whether free lessons are offered, and as of March 1, 2026, we have not received any response. In other replies to reviews that complained about amenities, the rental office has said the hotel manages the amenities. But these amenities are still advertised as part of the residential experience, and from a resident perspective the distinction doesn't change the outcome--we relied on what was represented when deciding where to live. If these issues are resolved or clarified, I will update this review. For now, prospective residents should independently verify the current status and availability of any amenities that are important to them.

She brings such positive energy and professionalism that instantly set the tone for a great living experience. She's also just fun to talk to, carries a welcoming attitude, quick follow-ups, and deep knowledge of the building made the leasing process smooth and enjoyable. Beyond just the leasing experience, the building itself is a gem. The location is unbeatable -- close to everything, yet just far enough removed to feel like a peaceful retreat in the city. And the views are absolutely stunning, whether it's sunrise, sunset, the unobstructed views of the city skyline never get old Serena is always upbeat, helpful, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience for residents. She sets a high standard, not just for leasing agents, but for customer service in general. If you're thinking about moving here, know that you'll be in excellent hands -- and that you're choosing a place that offers both luxury living and a fantastic team behind the scenes. Thank you, Serena, for making this building feel like home from the very beginning!

She is always smiling, remembers everyone's name and is VERY professional.

To name a few: -The Resident lounge is actually an employee lounge throughout the day as that is the only space the employees have to go to. -The grills have been broken since day 1. You have to bring down your own lighter, pick up the metal grates with your hands, and then light it to actually get it to work. -Once snow started in Chicago, the management team would not have the snow removed from common spaces making the grills, etc. inaccessible. -The key FOBs don't actually give you access to anything. I don't even know why they give them to all the residents when they don't work to get you into any of the common spaces. -They will randomly do renovations on a floor without providing any of the surrounding apartments a notice. This is very frustrating especially during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC when everyone is working from home. When you speak to the management team about these issues, they make you feel like you are the only one with problems and that everything is great about the building. That is not true as I have spoken to several residents who are frustrated with all the same issues. This experience has made me think twice about paying to live in a managed high rise building.

I…read morehave lived in multiple high-rises over the last 7 years and this building doesn't even come close to the amazing places I've lived in yet paying by FAR the most here for half of the great things about the other buildings. This is the only building on the planet with no freight/move-in elevators so they take the other elevator completely out of commission giving ONE elevator to 18 busy floors of 20ish units. I've waited 10+ minutes just to get in the elevator and have been late for work on multiple occasions because they give the elevator to people moving in during PEAK hours. To add insult to injury, the cold/unkind and totally apathetic leasing office takes the elevator ONE FLOOR UP AND DOWN instead of using the stairs. All the residents constantly look at each other in disbelief every time it happens. They never say hi to anyone and inconvenience residents on a daily basis. Resident Events are nonexistent and when they do, they're either BYOB (seriously?) cold cheap pizza or 1 seltzer. Gee, thanks! I really feel the appreciation and value of my $2908/mo for one small bedroom. Last but not least, between the drunk people fighting leaving LIQR Box next door and the addiction clinics lining the street - this is a pocket of River North that is totally unsafe. There are ALWAYS issues out front and was even accosted by someone mentally aill walking to my car out front one day. I called Neha in the leasing office (also the biggest culprit of riding the elevator one floor up and down) to help me get the garage open to run in. It was laughable how little she cared, zero sense of urgency and didn't even ask if I was okay or follow up with me. Why hire people who clearly don't give a flying f about residents or their jobs? What's the point? Skip the overpriced bedrooms, unfriendly leasing office, lack of any resident appreciation and concern for you as a human being and go literally anywhere else. There are a ton of beautiful and amazing buildings I wish I lived in instead of Niche. Their only saving grace is the amazing front desk staff (Sherrice and Durandt) and maintenance team which has kept me here. I wish I never lived here, the office team here is TERRIBLE and the only apartment I've ever regretted signing a lease with. RUN! Picture below of comical free cocktails they were giving out (one sip sized!)

I especially enjoy dealing with Noah who is always helpful, patient and friendly! The amenities are plentiful. The jacuzzi's are maintained and kept clean. Other buildings have failed in their attempt to keep their jacuzzi clean. Sauna and steam rooms are immaculate! They have a swimming pool adjacent to the jacuzzi. They have an awesome gym too! Close proximity to everything! Unbeatable!!! The Amazon package room is run well and they haven't lost a package yet. This is impressive and difficult to achieve. Elevators run smoothly and I never have to wait. The building really demonstrates how they care about their tenants and they take pride in their jobs and it shows. I have given them a five star rating because they earned it and they deserve to be praised for their work ethic and dedication to their tenants and the community. I highly recommend the Streeter. I cannot say enough good things about them! The Streeter is welcoming and I encourage everyone who wants a good quality of life and a clean environment to move to the Streeter. I stress to you all that this is the only place where I felt comfortable and at home. Highly satisfied.

Even with outside temps in the 30s & 40s and windows open, our south-facing apartment reached 82°F during the day and stayed at 76°F overnight. When we requested an early lease termination due to a medical condition that makes me sensitive to heat, management refused, falsely stating that allowing it would be discrimination against other tenants. They also refused any cost assistance to transfer units, despite the high cost and effort of having to move again. Even with a portable A/C and windows open, the temperature never drops below 74°F and still climbs to 80°F daily. It's made working from home impossible and sleeping uncomfortable. If temperature control or transparency matters to you, think twice before signing here -- particularly for south-facing units.
