Right off Clark within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, bars, coffee shops. Very quiet with a front garden that's home to serval black cats! The laundry room uses an app so you don't need change and you can watch the time remaining. Lots of positives! PS - the only negative would be having packages stolen. Please watch out if you order anything that won't fit in the small mailboxes. It will more than likely get stolen if left for more than a day. There's a an Amazon pick up down the street from the apartment - never used it but would probably use this if you get Amazon packages a lot!

And when we say she went above and beyond, we mean it literally: she was out there weeding and mulching our yard herself to get the house ready for open houses. Angela is exactly the kind of person you want by your side for both the highs and the stresses of buying and selling a home.

"To live in a "Pod" is to live in a college dormitory; except instead of having a resident advisor…read more(who cares about you and enforces the rules) you have a negligent property manager, D. Enders, (who does not care about your rights as a tenant to live in a peaceful manner). And instead of paying a fee that said dorms college has priced fairly you have a unit that you have moved into already overpriced and the slumlord nature of Podmajersky/Soda Pop Lofts L.P. will every year raise the rent without having a reason to raise such as updating appliances or the structural nature of your unit." -Me. That is right, I have been living in a unit at 1718 S. Jefferson St. for 2 years now and I am thankfully able to move out at the end of May. Included with my complaints of the services that Pod provides (or lack thereof, rather) are that I unknowingly paid for my upstairs neighbors ELECTRICITY for a total of 19 months. This has turned my living situation for the last 5 months of my lease into a feud between the paper thin floors of the building of my neighbors and myself with Pod never stepping in and mediating the situation. It would be nice to have an untroubled living situation but apparently that is just not possible. I have spoke with Podmajersky about the situation above and they have refused to step in and be of assistance, even though many rules in the lease have been broken and reported. Outside of that, the windows of the unit are about as leaky as a garden hose made of mesh in the winter and it took all of 1.5 years to fix a lock on our back door. This two problems drove my heating bill 20% higher than it needed to be. I have a broken window on our front porch that still has yet to be repaired. The window was broken before moving in. The window and door have been reported to Podmajersky, but only the door lock was fixed (after possible embarrassment during tours for possible future tenants). From what I have seen in pictures and tours, the achilles heel of Pod, inc. is the complete and utter lack of storage in the units. In our nice and spacious apartment we have a single closet for storage that is 2.5' wide x 3' deep x 6' tall, making our "office" a storage unit of unsightly boxes, instruments, and other miscellaneous gear. This is not a complaint, merely the truth. If looking at living in a Pod, be aware of the heavy amount of pictures taken using a wide angle lens to open up the space that isn't actually there when seen with the human eye. Please be aware that your rent (which said earlier is already steep) will be either raised or you will be told to move out. Lastly, be aware that you will be putting your money into a system that is single handedly putting a chokehold on an otherwise beautiful neighborhood in South Chicago and does not care what happens to the non-Pod-owned-property or historical population. For that matter, they own so many open plots of unbuilt land that this area will over time be a complete monopoly by every stretch of the word. It is sad that after living in one of their units for 2 years as a faithful tenant who does nothing but good and is responsible with bills and rent is being treated like a person who moved in and lived here for one month then told "sorry, this just isn't working out". Podmajersky, of all the relationships I have had in my life you are the worst girlfriend I have ever had and if any of my friends try to get your number I will go out of breath by telling them that you are a bad person to "get into bed with" and you are just looking to take his/her money. Everything said within this review is 100% truth and trust that I am merely looking out for the well being of future renters, for people to have an honest viewpoint of what you are signing onto. If you need to read any other reviews, please see the men's bathroom walls at The Skylark (incredible bar) which have more than plenty of renters writing their distrust/disgust with the company or other Yelp reviews that average out to this company having a 1.5 star rating overall on 18+ reviews. Would you eat at a restaurant with that rating? If no, then why in the world would you put money every month into anything that poorly reviewed?

I began looking at their loft spaces online. Their website promoted them as active concerned…read moreleaders in Pilen. This is complete bull. They are more like slumlords. I called to ask about a few specific units and where they were in relationship to the Fisk and Crowford power plants. They had no idea what I was talking about. I gave them the addresses of the plants and they still had no idea what I was talking about. These plants have been operating without pollution controls since the 1950s and are responsible for why Chicago, and Pilsen in particular, has the highest asthma and asthma related death rates in the entire United States. I'd rather not live next door and would rather not waste my time and theirs looking at those units. How can they sell their image as community leaders if you don't know anything about the area and obviously don't care about it? The clean up of these plants are the singular largest political issue facing Pilsen in city hall. It would be nice if the Podmajersky, who is profiting hugely from gentrifying this neighborhood, would also take an active roll in helping to make it a more breathable place for their renters.
