Caravel Condominium Association

The building and location are fantastic, but what I really want to rave about is the property manager, Diane. She is on her game, and she runs a tight ship. She does the high-​level parts of her job like a pro, but what I really love about her is her willingness to do absolutely anything and everything for the people living in the Caravel. When my key to the storage locker room was not working, she didn’t walkie-​talkie the building engineer (Lou — also amazing) or the front doorman, she got up and walked down there with me with a bunch of spare keys and gave me a new one that worked. There are so many more examples of her being a hands-​on property manager, and instead of delegating everything she likes to get involved and get things done herself. She is the Caravel’s best feature as far as I am concerned

I’ve been living here for 3 years now and have been very pleased with my experience. The location cannot be beat because you are easily accessible to the El (red line) and multiple bus lines, close to Michigan Ave and the beach (5 min and 10 min walk respectively), close to I94/​90, and all the necessities possible in a 3 block radius (groceries, restaurants, bars, and shops).
The condo itself is newer and well kept. Management is on top of things and staff is helpful. Great amenities include: balcony in each unit, workout room, 24-​hr doorman, and parking spaces availability.
The prices/​fees are comparable if not cheaper than other apartments in the downtown area.

The caravel is about as luxurious as it gets in River North. The hallways and elevator are beautiful, and the door staff and building manager are great people. The location is perfect. There is an amazing selection of grocery stores, restaurants, landmarks and entertainment within a block of the building. The units are extremely well thought out making the most of every last inch.
There are also a ton of things about the unit that you take for granted that most buildings don’t have. Like a plethora of outlets, great layouts and usage of deck space, etc. There is nothing negative to say about this building, a pool would be nice I guess, but not having one keeps the assessments down.
