This place is awesome! Great location, beautiful apartments, and excellent management…read more Pros: -Huge units in great condition -There is very little street noise despite being right on a busy intersection -The Target downstairs is extremely convenient, and public transit and lots of great restaurants are an easy walk (even in the winter) -Management is very responsive and communicates well. I lived here during the common area renovations and always received several days notice from Michele when there would be a brief water shutdown or the like. Any emails received a same day (usually same hour) response. -Extremely fair move out inspection. Not one of those places that tries to nickel and dime you on your way out. Cons: -Doors are thin and don't block noise from the hallways very well (sound coming through the walls was never an issue though!) Lived here from Sep 2019- Sep 2020. Only moved out because I left Chicago.

While we enjoyed our city life, we decided to move to 500 N Lake Shore Drive after viewing 10 other options. Boy, are we glad we made the decision we did. 500 N Lake Shore Drive (517 N Peshtigo Ct to ride-sharing drivers) is an awesome place to live. (A recent Plains State visitor, after a summer weekend here, said "You guys live in a resort!") Some days, it feels that way. The building is owned and managed by The Related Company. Related builds, leases out, and manages their own buildings. Such complete vertical integration results in a wonderful rental experience. Property Management, Concierges, and Maintenance all work together on a daily basis (including daily staff meetings among all of them) to help ensure that residents have a quality daily living experience. The amenities are all here - pool and pool deck with 6 grills (kept spotless by staff if a resident fails to clean up after their use), spa, huge Equinox Gym (also owned by Related), Common Area featuring fireplaces, pool table, and work/study areas, business center, special event rental rooms, dedicated dog wash, and Amazon Package pick-up lockers for secure package delivery. 500 N LSD has got it all. The staff - as a group - are bend-over-backwards accommodating and friendly. They pay attention to detail and are always willing to do the little things to make living here an exceptional experience. Resident parking attached to the building is operated by LAZ Parking, and have been easy to work with. We've been here for almost a year, and are thrilled we made the move we did. Unqualifiedly recommended!

He was rude and dismissive from the moment I arrived, and made me feel discriminated against because of my appearance and accent. No one should be treated this way--especially in a place that claims to uphold respect and professionalism. I truly hope management addresses this kind of behavior so that all guests and residents are treated with the dignity they deserve.

Warning: South-facing units are a sauna and management isn't transparent…read more We were specifically told we'd have independent temperature control -- our #1 priority when signing -- but management quietly shut off the building A/C for the season without notifying tenants. 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.

Fast forward 12 years and I have returned to Chicago, and am back at Aqua. I wanted to take a…read moremoment to post an update to shine a light on the exemplary property manager, Craig Perry, who oversees this building with kindness and empathy - all within the parameters of the utmost professionalism. Craig runs a tight ship in the best way. He GENUINELY cares about residents' concerns and wastes no time in addressing them and arriving at a solution. As I mentioned in my previous review, I've lived in several rental communities in downtown Chicago - and have worked with a few outstanding property managers, but Craig is head and shoulders above the rest, which is an absolute necessity for a positive living experience. Hands down. Special shout out to Steve Sink (Dir of Leasing) for always taking the time to catch up when we cross paths - another kind human, and consummate professional. And, finally, to the incredible door staff - looking at you, in particular, Mike and Senait, the weekday morning crew; and to the maintenance team - always smiling and friendly, and at the ready to help. I realize this update is primarily about the day-to-day operations team at Aqua, rather than the building itself, which I've already addressed below. I just feel that in a sea of pretty similar rental options downtown, it's the people you interact with on a regular basis who truly make your living experience enjoyable. And this team led by Craig, well, I've yet to experience its equal.

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.

I suffered health issues for 5 months, now medically verified as mold exposure through a mycotoxin urinalysis test. The hallways always smell of smoke and mold, except for floors with Airbnb-style guest suites. Regular tenants face disrespect and gaslighting from management, needing to hire outside professionals to validate complaints. My hired company found multiple types of mold despite management claiming the issue was resolved. Management avoids being recorded, so document everything in writing. They will try to scare you with early termination fees. Document thoroughly and get a lawyer. I moved out on 07/25/2024 and will seek damages in court. Pam, Dorko, and Hector from maintenance are great, but property manager Nicole and area manager Courtney are incompetent and rude. The building has historical charm but the gym is inadequate, the theater room is often closed, and the hot tub works only half the year. Amenities close at 10 pm. The move-in/out process is hellish due to inefficient elevator access, costing extra moving time and money. I booked 4 men and a truck to control costs when moving out. The leak in my unit is historical. Management never tested for mold but noted it on the floorboards. My inspector confirmed mold and moisture in the ceiling drywall. Management planned to hide the mold under new flooring, likely intending to re-rent the unit without proper treatment.

The units are in my opinion not fit for an adult person who is not down on their luck. Except for the few $1300/month updated unit that about 100 sq ft bigger. According to their layout plan the regular units are approx 240 sq ft. if you do the math (length x width) They don't advertise their square footage for a reason. No Parking. It's dowtown Chicago so you'll pay for a garage upwards of $400/month. There really no alternative other than selling your car. They will tell you about the two people who have made this place their home for 7 and 10 years. But ask those people what part of chicago they came from and how they were living. If you're from a gang infested, low rent area, then yes, this may seem like an upgrade. Like living in hotel room. But if you're a person who grew up in a decent place, in my opinion, you'll regret it. People 'escape" from here. I have seen it. The look when they get that last bag downstairs. Like they've escaped from a scene out of black mirror. It's an alternative to a dorm or living in an extended stay. Or if your a young persom who wants to party and live near everything. Other than that, NOPE!

Living here has been a mixed experience, but overall it falls below expectations for the price…read more While the location is convenient with easy access to essentials and transportation, the day-to-day living conditions don't justify the rent. Ongoing construction noise, thin walls, and an inconsiderate neighbor who regularly ignores quiet hours make it difficult to enjoy the space. Cleanliness is also an issue, with dog waste around the property and pet urine in the elevators. The parking garage is another major drawback--frequent break-ins, constant construction, and overcrowding from non-tenant parkers create ongoing frustration. Altogether, the building lacks the comfort, safety, and upkeep you'd expect at this price point.

I've been living at K2 for a few months now with minimal complaints. My biggest gripe is that they…read morerespond to criminal complaints made by the residents in a very negligent manner. Just this morning, I awoke to a construction worker Peeping Tom next door staring at me with binoculars. I called the management office with this complaint with a picture of the worker. I ended up speaking to Gina, and she said she would pass the information along to the manager. I then called back to update her that I figured out what floor and unit balcony the worker was on. In so many words, she told me that my information was useless and that there wasn't much that could be done about this situation. I also asked her to put out an email notice that there are perverts next door spying on women and whoever else they can get off on. She agreed. I have yet to receive an email, but considering another resident's car was stolen and they refused to alert other residents because it would "scare them", this probably won't happen. Since speaking with Gina, I posted in the Lincoln Properties app to warn any other unsuspecting residents about this incident but of course my posts were swiftly removed -- almost as soon as I posted them. Thankfully we can post whatever we want in the OneRoof app and I got several responses including a woman who responded saying a worker was watching her change her clothes, then the next day a whole group of them gathered on the balcony, staring into her apartment, and hoping to get a free show. Another woman responded as well, saying they are watching her too. I was left pretty frustrated because K2 cannot even handle the minimal safety requests like sending out an email or attempting to contact ONNI. I couldn't get a picture of the voyeur's binoculars in hand because he ran behind a pillar to hide as soon as I held my phone up, therefore I can't make a police report. There aren't even window coverings for the other units' patio doors so we're left exposed unless we keep our blinds closed all day and invest in our own blinds for the door! I doubt management will take any further steps so I am in contact with ONNI (next door) building management and construction company. If you're thinking of moving here, keep in mind that ONNI's new building is very close and whoever moves in may also be lurking and Lincoln Properties will try to silence you if you post a crime committed against you in their app. Like other businesses, they respond to bad reviews with BS and excuses so I will be checking back. Per K2's response to my review, no one in the office EVER suggested that I reach out to the city or Alderman. Gina told me that the office manager would reach out to the Alderman with my complaint. Seeing K2's reply now let's me know that the Alderman was never contacted because that's my job, I guess. Thankfully ONNI's construction manager got back to me and they are handling the issue. They seem to be more responsive, even to those who do not live there yet. My concern about K2 notifying residents of criminal activity was not mentioned in the response so hopefully my review can help somebody!
