Just moved in 3 days ago, apartment is amazing! No issue at all will all hardwire and amenity. BUT noisy is real, my neighbor playing rock music at 11pm, it feels like I left my TV on in the living room.

Great apartments, great space, great community. Group Fox makes you feel like family and their attention to detail is second to none! I've lived at the lofts for 2 years and about to extend my lease for a third!

I have a couple friends who live here and love visiting them every single time! First off, my friend's apartment is gorgeous and looks across the Ogden Slip and little inlet/dock, which honestly I get jealous of her instagram stories and snapchats because she is always snapping from her balcony looking out at the Ogden Slip and enjoying the view. Her and her fianc had an engagement party in the Lofts party room, I believe thats what its called and it was perfect. Big room with a couple pool table, a bar and kitchen area, and places to sit around and I believe we were able to chose our own music but the sound system was great and best yet, it was in the basement or basically its own area so the noise did not bother anyone living there. Also Pinstripes is right next to the apartment building so want a fun night to bowl you can just go there or the movie theatre is a block away and the beach is just a ten minute walk. The garage is huge!! The first several floors go to the residents who live there and are reserved only for them but if people come visit they can park in the floor above! Perfect for not having your friends worrying about where to find a spot on the street. I have worked out in the gym with my friend! The treadmills are awesome and are designed for you to use personally. Add your name in the treadmill and it keeps track of your progress. They have tons of machines and even a couple punching bags for those who love to box! We've grilled on the rooftop for their birthday and it was a blast! Not to mention the fireworks we saw from navy pier in the summer! I hear this place is pet-friendly for anyone who has a pet but if you don't and are nervous about sound wise don't be! I have never heard a dog barking while in my friend's place and they have never gotten a noise complaint! Plus, my friends love it here! They wouldn't have moved into a bigger apartment in the same building if they didn't!

I am beyond happy with our time at Lofts at River East, so much so we just resigned for another year. The building is so unique, well kept, and beautiful. We are close to everything, have every amenity we could need, and stunning views of the lake & Ogden Slip. I am shocked to read reviews of poor management, as I have had nothing but fantastic interactions with Abby & Haylee in the management office. Kyle & Megan at the front desk are so welcoming and helpful. (Simple things like greeting us by name, letting me/my spouse know if the other already grabbed the mail, calling us and saying our lunch/dinner delivery is on the way up) all are personal, friendly, and appreciated! Our unit is spectacular; a one bed, with unique layout, great kitchen and with a large enough laundry room to hold a futon for guests! Every time we have a friend over, they are amazed by our place, and I am always proud to show off where we live. We have had to put in a few maintenance requests and they are always fully solved within 12 hours max. I have NO problems with the sound traveling, as others are saying... I mean yes, we can occasionally hear some noise, but it is not "unlivable" (and we are completely surrounded with occupied units). The only things to note: the main living space doesn't have an overhead light, which lamps haven't proven to be the best solution. *Edit: After posting this, management reached out and said they could install a ceiling light for us!! So now, truly no flaws! (I never thought to ask about getting a light...my bad. Lofts to the rescue!) Overall, Lofts at River East is a fantastic place to live.

I was a bit weary of moving in given array of complaints in the posts below. Particularly regarding noise, given I work at nights and must sleep 8 hours during the day. However, I've been here for nearly three weeks and have not had any issues with this. Certainly I can hear people passing through the hallway, but not immensely where they would wake me up from sleep. I disagree with other commentators that there is no noise control/privacy. There is construction across the building, again has not bothered me throughout the day. The management has been very pleasant; I had found ants soon after moving in and the next morning pest control was sent to eliminate them by spraying the entire apartment. Amenities are clean and quite spectacular. Location is central to almost anything including river, lake, navy pier. I would highly recommend this place. Thus far my experience has been wonderful.

I've been here for 1.5 yrs and love it! What will probably make us move eventually is more space and more of a neighborhood feel, but we have been pleased with living here and will continue to live here for a while longer.
Pros : )
- My work commute is excellent - 20 min. walk or 8 min. uber to work (River North)
- Love the gym, it's usually not very crowded
- The roof and other amenity rooms are great
- My bathtub is my sanctuary - I take a bath every day : P
- I love the laundry room in my apt - great for storage! The coat closet is big too
- You are across the street from the movies, bowling, arcades - lots of fun restaurants near by and you are right by navy pier as well!
- You have a whole foods and target less than a block away...so nice
- I feel very safe living in this building
Cons : (
- The tourists make me want to scream sometimes
- I miss the north neighborhood vibes
- You will pay A LOT to live here, I do think it's worth the money though
- I live in a one bedroom apt. but because it's a loft it will "feel" like a studio because you have partial walls, that comes with living in a loft, however!
- Although we get some sunlight in our bedroom, we do not have windows which I miss.
- No garbage disposal

It is a great location in the city! You can walk everywhere. It is a unique and beautiful building and the management takes good care of inside and outside of the building. There are many restaurants nearby and the Michigan Ave is 5 min walking. I really enjoy living in the Lofts at River East.

I have lived downtown for a couple years now and this is easily the best experience Ive had so far. I fell in love with lofts after I stayed in an awesome AirBnB on a trip to NYC. This place gives me the vintage loft-style vibe I wanted. Not only are the finishes in my apartment beautiful, everything I could ever need or want is really close bymovie theater, Whole Foods, Target, Starbucks, a ton of yummy restaurants. Niu Sushi is my favorite date night spot and its right down the street. The people working at the front desk are super helpful and really friendly. I havent had a ton of interaction with the office staff because I do everything online, but I lost my key once and they were able to get a new one made for me the same day. Saved me from a headache for sure. The only thing I wish my place did have was a garbage disposal because I love to cook. Overall, Ive been happy here and plan on staying for a few years until Im ready to buy my own place.

We have lived at the Lofts for 11 months and just renewed for another year. We have had a wonderful experience. We absolutely love our apartment and the concierge do a great job of making you feel at home, Kyle is awesome. I work in the industry and I appreciate the professionalism of the staff here. The ownership group does a really great job at investing in their property. The common areas always look perfect. Hailee and Lauren are so quick to respond to emails and have been great to deal with. The location is so convenient. We plan on staying a few years. Thanks for helping our first year in a new city be such a great one!

I keep meaning to post something, but per usual when you are happy you forget to do stuff like this. I have lived here since January with my fianc we were one some of the first residents at The Lofts. When moving in we knew we would have to work through a couple bumps and bruises since the building was really just completed. The attention to detail at the Lofts on all the finishes has surpassed our expectations. I see some poor reviews and it's a shame since we have had nothing but positive interactions with management, the concierge team and the maintenance team. We have also made some great friends here. The building just hosted a pretty sweet holiday party for the residents where I ate and drank too much. Most of the team was there and it was much appreciated.

Lakeside Access Paired with Downtown Energy in Chicago’s Streeterville
Just north of downtown you’ll find Streeterville. This charming area is known for its amazing views of Lake Michigan, and its vibe is universally considered as one of the most unique in Chicagoland. Navy Pier is the big thing here. It used to be a U.S. Navy training installation, and today it attracts hordes of tourists. Kids like the many fair-type rides available, and of course the pier is full of restaurants, brewpubs, and generally exciting nightlife.
To comfortably afford an apartment, we recommend having at least three times your monthy rent in gross household income.
