Hello All,
Before I begin this review I must say that it absolutely baffles me that this place hasn't had a review since 2007! If i could give it a -5 stars I would.
So with that said let me enlighten you all from a honest and hardy place in my heart.
Due to the previous review, the area has changed tremendously. What use to be someone's happy place of great location, restaurants and convenience has nothing to do with what's going on in the inside. As you can see, the review only illustrates a picture that is half truth. And, they forgot to describe the 9th ring of hell called Harper Place LLC located on 5129 S. Harper Ave.
First, let's start off with safety. The NUMBER ONE thing people need the most. A secure place to live. Well....this place is not it. It is the most creepiest, sketchiest building within a 7 block radius.
When the landlord (who is a total ghost) showed me around the place, he promised me that his application process was strenuous. He said that he is very selective about his choice of residents. That was complete BULLSHIT. Within the first 3 months of living in my place, I never felt so uncomfortable in my life. This one "security guard" I use to see all the time, had to be one of the most introverted, careless, spineless creeps on this side of Chicago. The owner (who is impossible to get a hold of) needs to hire a more effective staff. Period.
I didn't even feel remotely safe. Not to mention the multiple times I felt people were inattentively strolling through out the building. IT IS CREEPY! Let's talk about the time a complete stranger came to my door LATE NIGHT asking for a favor and was obviously on drugs.
I don't think he even lived in the building! Something has to be done! That said, if you are a parent sending your kid off to college in the area. BE SURE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! It is super fucking dark and no proper lighting outside. It's like a bat cave open for the dark and damp to roam free.
Secondly, the buzzing system is not the best. One time I didn't even finish typing my code in and the door just let me in like a fucking poltergeist. I must say that the apartment i rented was renovated and fresh. But, the building was a total nightmare. Most recently, I heard from a friend that there were a few break-ins! No footage, no security and no clue as to what happened. It's just plan awful. Don't do it!!!!!
Sincerely helping.... read more
