One Place Condominiums

I’ve lived here for more than 3 years and I love it. The location is great. It’s close to the all the CTA lines, grant park, and the lake. There are a decent number of dining options around but I’m hoping more will open soon considering how quickly south loop is growing. Having a 24 hour Xsport fitness center in the building is very convenient because I don’t even have to walk outside in the winter to get to the gym. There is an elevator form the garage that goes directly to the gym. Having a 24 hour 7-​eleven in the building is pretty clutch too. There’s also a pretty nice bar in the buidling, called Jimmy Green’s, that serves excellent burgers. It’s actually a really fun place to hang out during big playoff games. There are a lot of grocery stores including Trader Joe’s nearby.

I’ve been very happy here. I moved to Chicago from central Illinois, and had some reservations about living «downtown». The building is in an incredibly convienant locatin, I didn’t realize exactly how great the location was before I moved here. The red line is ½ block away, and you can walk a couple blocks in either direction to get any other L line. There’s an XSport Fitness in the building that I used to work out at, now I use the FFC a few blocks away. There is also Lou Malnati’s and Jimi Green’s in the building if you want to eat. It is only a few blocks from the lake, and very convienant to go out for a run on the lake during summer, and also convienant to Grant Park (been to Lollapalooza twice since I’ve lived here!!)
The assessments are low and include heat, AC, water, hot water, cable, internet, and all the standard other things a typical condo has. I don’t have noise problems — I’ll hear my neighbors TV when I’m in the hall, but once I’m inside my unit it’s nice and quiet. All in all I’ve been happy living here since moving from «the country».

Great building — it’s in a great location — close to the Redline and busses, so it’s really easy to get almost anywhere. It’s above XSport Fitness and Lou Malnati’s which is very convenient. Not many amenities, but the assessments are low and benefits are high (included heat, water, hot water, cable, etc.). I’ve lived here for a year and love it. I don’t have noise problems — I’ve never heard neighbors on any side. Occasionally, there’s someone talking in the hallways, but that’s true anywhere. I’m really happy here.

Do not rent or buy in this building. There are so many better condos in the Loop that are worth the money so much more than this place.
The building is full of students that party all the time, the hallways always smell like cigarettes and weed. We constantly have cigarette smell in our master bedroom because of our neighbors. It is extremely noisy and because your main door has no insulation you have listen to people yell at each other, talk on their phones loud in the hallway not to mention dogs barking all day long.
The layout of the apartments are the worst because your entrance opens up right into the kitchen/​living room, there is no separation and as soon as you walk in you are in the middle of your apartment hence the noise from the hallway is very disturbing. The elevator constantly makes the loudest clicking sound. It will drive you crazy.
The interior of the units are so cheaply made, there is no knobs on the kitchen cabinets, you only have a sliding door to the bathroom. Our balcony screen door constantly comes out and so does the closet door in the bathroom.
There are no amenities in the building, no doorman, no gym, no pool, no roof top, NOTHING.
Not too long ago all the packages were stolen from the mail room by someone that just happened to walk into the building because some people living here don’t really care about not letting strangers in for the sake of our safety.
One more thing, every night you hear something that sounds like a bomb going off on the roof and we have not been able to figure out what it is but it is extremely bothersome. First we thought it was people dropping weights in the gym downstairs but it cannot possible be it as we are on a high floor and the gym is on the main floor.
