The Uptown Regency

So far I have lived here for three months and no complaints! The units are absolutely beautiful, rehabbed, and living on the 12^th floor, I get an awesome view! 5min to Red line, 2 min to Marianos, 10 min to the beach, and the express bus gets you downtown in 20 minutes. The whole building is really clean, and full of some awesome people. They have a great workout room, community space, bike room, and laundry room. As far as management and staff goes: Amy, Treflin, Josh, and Jesús are all so welcoming and fun. I can’t see how people have some of the complaints they do!

The administrator dictator vixen that works in there it’s a big problem!!!
I went to see an apartment there, she introduce her self like she is the big shot!!! She is rude. She wanted to show like she is the queen of the place and everybody must obey her.
I did apply for apartment in here and how she saw the credit of my co-​signer they request 12 month up front if I want to take the place. They are Nazi bastards arrogant racist. I did offer them 6 month up front … It’s not worth it.

I’ve lived here with my partner for almost two years. We love this location not only for the fact that it’s close to the Argyle red line stop or that your so close to the last 147 bus stop going express to michigan avenue. But the quality of service we receive here. Amy is by far the best building manager I’ve ever had. She keeps a tight shifts and gets things done. She is always nice and goes the extra mile. Something you don’t get very often anymore. All the doormen are super friendly and helpful as well. I don’t think I could find a better apartment in Chicago with the quality of service I get here.
Also the recent renovation is high class and I rarely hear any noises from neighbors. Great place!!!

I love living at the Uptown Regency.
The building is beautiful and the apartment is newly remodeled with all the modern amenities, especially in the kitchen. The original wood floors are pristine, the granite countertops and stainless appliances are beautiful and the apartments are so quite. There is a very nice, and clean gym in the building with a free personal trainer at least once per week as well as a brand new laundry and bike room. One of my favorite areas is the gorgeous lobby area with multiple sitting areas and wireless internet.
The management team is awesome; they all take care of the property and the residents as if it were their own home. I love the service I get when I need anything from the doormen, the management office or the maintenance and cleaning staff; they are the best.
The neighborhood is a great location which is walking distance to the lake, the Red LIne and busses are so close, the Mariano’s is ½ block away and there are many good place to eat around here.
I’ve lived here for about a year and half and really love it. (and the rent is very reasonable)…
That’s my review, I give the highest rating to this property and recommend it to anyone looking for an apartment in Uptown.

Since I decided to FINALLY set aside time to get some reviews off of my chest, I definitely wanted to update my review here…
Besides my window-​view, I LOVE LIVING HERE!!!
The Management Team, Doormen, and Maintenance Team:
AWESOME…the ENTIRE STAFF! I SWEAR!!! I have been living here for a little over 2 years now and I just KNOW that I will breakout into tears when I do decide to leave. They are extremely amazing to us, very caring, and are all hard workers. They continuously make us feel welcomed and like family.
The Apartment:
Luxurious (i.e. cabinets, countertops, lobby, and flooring), nice workout facility, and safe-​keeping doormen.
The Area:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 meaning awesome), I would rate it at a 7. The lakefront is walking-​distance away. Mariano’s is right up the street. The CTA Red Line train station is right around the corner (about 5−7minutes away walking). If you have children, there are two schools walking-​distance away, and it’s in close proximity to Walt Disney Magnet School.
I would highly recommend living here; no doubt about it! :-)

I moved in just before the Holiday Season. I must say I felt the Management Team was great and I’ve dealt with a few over the years. They are very quick to respond and most recently have helped me immediately with the heat or lack of during this windy season.
I read the other review about the bike room and initially it deterred me from looking into renting here but as it turns out the only stipulation is you cannot bring your bike thru the front lobby. This makes perfect sense since the beautiful lobby would be tracked with mud. There is a side door for bikes and I think it will be fine for me once Spring arrives.
They have helped me with whatever I need and are really wonderful to my dog. I would recommend this building and thank the Doormen, Maintenance Crew and Management Gals!

Pros:
1.Brand new kitchen
2. Access to a gym
3. Awesome doormen
4. Nice lobby
5. Nice people
6. Walking distance to the beach and express buses to downtown
Cons:
1. Not the best neighborhood to walk at night
2. Management of the building is so annoying; too many instructions

I have lived here for several months now, and I have mixed reviews on it. I live on the top floor, and the views are great. 24 hour door man and double door security makes it feel safe. Everything is very clean, starting from the grand lobby, to the gym, to even the air fresheners in the hallways. The units are all hardwood floors, black granite counter-​tops, stainless steel, lights that dim, very nice and contemporary. There are alot of food places very close by, and a Marianos grocery store just 2 blocks away! The red line is about a 5 minute walk, beach is about 10. I love that it is close to the running trail along the lake as well. I must say, that I did not give it 5 starts because of the management. I feel like the current management does not personally care about me or my roommate, and only «tolerate» us because we currently live there and we are paying residents (paying residents who aren’t allowed to use the bike room, doesn’t seem fair to me). When we moved in, we rented the freight elevator from 12 – 3, which means we can be using the elevator at anytime withing those hours. We got there around 1:30pm, and got greeted my management yelling at us on our move in day saying we can’t move in anymore because someone more important is coming at 3pm and «people moving isn’t acceptable» while that person of importance is there. After talking for about 10 minutes we persuaded her that we can move everything in by 2:45 and she reluctantly agreed. Ever since then I have felt some tension. I know that my roommate has felt alot more tension with the property managers too. It’s really too bad that we had that experience with them because the building itself, doormen, people who live there, and units are very nice.

I have lived in this property for a year and have overall been happy! The workout room is great and almost always has a free machine when I go in there. The doormen are great and attentive. My father was visiting over the weekend and he went into the workout room. The doorman on duty specifically went up to him to ask who he was and where he was staying. I am happy they asked him because I would want them to question any person that does not live in the apartment complex for safety purposes. Of course my dad explained he was with my unit and the doorman confirmed this with the log at the front desk.
The only downside to this apartment is the location it is in. I have never felt unsafe in the area, but there are some questionable people in the vicinity especially by the El stop. If it weren’t for the area, I would have given it 5 stars. I love that the Mariano’s is a block away and the apartment itself is great!

This property is pretty nice, but get don’t get trick by the appearance. A** is the worst property manager you could ever imagine. I know most property managers are power hungry, but she is an absolute dictator that will stop at nothing to have people follow «her rules» she is crazy and will yell at residents like they are children. She should be embarrassed by the way she acts. Also, this building allows smoking and my apartment smelled of awful tobacco smoke more times than it didn’t and once again A** chose not to do anything about it. Maybe consider renting at this property if you hate bikes, because they act like the bike Nazi’s here and only allow long term residents to use the bike room even though everyone pays rent. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made they bike room just to slash tires. I have seen not one instance but twice of A** literally screaming at residents for having their bike in the lobby. Don’t rent this property if you have any self– respect for yourself.

Great views, the building is remodeled recently, it is very clean, there is 24 hr doorman, party room, gym and there is a trainer that comes 3 times a week. He is the best, management is good. There are grocery stores walking distance. The red line is very close. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants around as well as other restaurants. The beach is less than 10 mins by walk.

Great views of Lake Michigan. Beautiful wood flooring and granite/​stainless steel kitchen. Responsive mgmt. Beautiful lobby and helpful doormen. Close to 151, and 147 and red line. Close on ramp to Lake Shore Drive. Mariano’s less than a block away. Walking distance to Foster beach. Great food at nearby Asia on Argyle and Andersonville. For all the gymophiles there is a great gym and an amazing trainer who comes 3x a week included.
