Reviews

Madeline M.

I love living Arkadia! I’ve been here over a year now. The staff is friendly, the views are great, and we love the location! Also love the pop up shops/promos they offer in the lobby or via email.

Dylan J.

All of the staff is wonderful. Maintenance requests completed in a timely manor. The apartments are beautiful and come with great amenities!

Luke K.

Arkadia West Loop is a fantastic building to live in. The building itself has great amenities and the neighborhood is fun and lively. Also, the staff is great! Everybody in the building is so helpful.

Felicia O.

I love living in Arkadia. The staff is super friendly and always goes the extra mile for us. The amenities are everything you could want. And the apartment and views are amazing!

Lindsey M.

Our unit is gorgeous, I don't think there is a better view in West Loop (corner unit 2213). The only issue is the price for the relatively small unit.

Erin F.

The office staff is so friendly! I love the view of downtown from my apartment with the floor to ceiling windows and beautiful balcony. Pet friend is a great perk too.

Nicholas C.

Great place to live! Pet friendly and clean. Very happy with the amenities and enjoying everything so far. Front desk service is awesome and maintenance is helpful.

Kendall M.

Great location, staff, and amenities! The maintenance team always goes above and beyond and are very quick to get any requests resolved, and the office staff is very helpful!

Shaohang Y.

Friendly staffs. However, only being able to bring 2 guests to the pool area is brutal. We want to have a group of friends over and bbq but it’s not allowed. I’ve never heard about this rule in other buildings.

Erin B.

Nice space and amenities and great staff, however, lots of noise from neighboring units like dogs barking. The elevators are often broken or people moving in, so there are days where you spend 20 mins waiting. Haven’t brought back coffee station si...

We love living at arkadia! The staff is so thoughtful and does a great job keeping the residents happy! Whenever our dog had surgery they gave him a care package, which was just the nicest thing ever.

Abhilash S.

The building is in a great location with great views. The management and maintenance teams are fantastic. The units are a great value for the price.

Anne Z.

Awful cable tv ever. Toilet keeps clogging. Bad move in experience. They did not have my keys at the front desk which were promised. I had to pay $200 more for overs to wait until the loading dock was vacant.

Nicole M.

Arkadia is one of the best communities I've lived in. The views are incredible from every angle, the staff is excellent, and the amenities are great.

Genki H.

Awesome property! Bozzuto does an amazing job to keep the community active and connected! I highly recommend anyone who is looking to live in west loop/Chicago.

Beth A.

The front desk staff (especially Norma) is wonderful and so if the leasing staff. The proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, parks and downtown is perfect. The amenities are great. I highly recommend living here.

Deborah T.

The amenities and neighborhood are great. There has been building issues over the past 15 months though that aren’t great (fires due to dryers and smoking) and at least one elevator is down at some point each month. Being that is the only way in an...

So far it's been a great experience. From my last residence this has been amazing so far. I'm excited to spend the next year living here and enjoying all the amenities.

Ana Paula P.

great place to call "home". The entire staff always greet you with a smile and are very helpful to our needs, and are quick to attend to any problems that arise . The grounds and facilities are kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers.

This residence is clean, beautiful, and honestly an ideal place to live. What makes it outstanding though is the friendly and thoughtful staff.

The Arkadia West Loop is a wonderful place to live. The staff are friendly, the location is prime, and the amenities are top notch. It’s a beautiful building, and the units are nice and updated.

Talha Khan

Arkadia West Loop provides a top notch service for living in the downtown area. The amenities they provide are worth the price tag. The neighborhood is nice and you can find almost everything nearby.

Talha K.

A community that is worth the price. Arkadia's management is top-notch. We have never had to wait more than a few hours, even on weekends to get any problems sorted out. The community area is well stocked, and you always feel at home.

Great location and building is always clean. Have not been able to use all the amenities yet due to covid but I’m looking forward to the pool being open this summer!

Polyxenia-Anna M.

I’ve been at Arkadia for 3 years now and I love it. Things keep getting better and better. Thanks to our staff for doing such great work! I’m a little sad we lost PPW, but hoping we can get another good fitness studio in or around the building.

Max B.

Things have been good. Need to use the gym more! Everything has been good and maintenance was so accommodating. Construction has been annoying but what can we do? Hopefully done soon!

Amit B.

Good experience overall. Timely maintenance and staff that cares overall. Sometimes noise from above can be disruptive but the management is helpful and offers solutions.

Todd Michael

Just moved out and would have stayed another year if we didn’t buy a condo. Norma and Booker at the front desk are awesome and I will miss having them. The maintenance staff is great and very friendly. Would highly recommend living here to anyone!

Christopher C.

great place to live! i love living here. price is reasonable, maintenance is great and the location is perfect for me. you also have marianos and wholefoods literally next to you.

Jorge Manuel V.

Great area and neighborhood. Building has great views. Nearby stores and entertainment plus dog park. Rent is a little high and I wish the hallways carpets were maintained better and steam cleaned once a month especially during winter

Madeline M.

I love living at Arkadia towers! It’s clean and the staff is friendly. The pool deck is beautiful. I love that they offer fresh basil, kale and peppers during the summer.

Robert O.

An amazing area full of restaurants, grocery stores, sky scrapers and close to everything you need. Parking is easy and affordable. The people in the building make up a perfect living environment.

Great location, maintenance, and management team! The maintenance team always goes above and beyond for anything. You’re also walking distance to basically anything you could need.

S.D. Isaac

Where do I begin? At the BEGINNING...because I may very well be the longest standing tenant in the building. I moved in just 3 months after the building opened and am still here. That's saying something! I've been through ownership, management, and s...

The apartment wasn’t as clean as I wanted but the space and pricing was great so I’m very happy with how everything turned out. I haven’t used the amenities yet but looking forward to using the pool and hot tub.

Deborah T.

With all of the issues with the elevators and the 3+ fires in the last 4 months... I would not suggest this as a great place to live anymore for safety reasons.

Jessica Yuheun J.

While the location is great, the construction on both Adams and Jackson makes mobility really difficult and is quite the annoyance. Wish we were told this information when moving in, since there was no mention of it.

Max B.

Everything has been great! Everyone is friendly. THe only thing is the construction goes all night and its a jackhammer noise but hopefully that only lasts a month or so

Molly R.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wish it would have been disclosed about how loud the construction is on the side of the building. Literally haven't been able to sleep, with Jack hammers going 24 hours a day... Not conducive to working from home.

Krista H.

Everyone is super friendly and staff is amazing. The dog run is an issue with the highway construction. It needs to be sprayed off more frequently.

Bruce H.

Everyone on staff has been great making leasing and move in process very smooth ! Building is in great shape and parking is very convenient.

John C.

Michal was very helpful with all my questions prior to locking up the lease and since then, everything has moved along smoothly! Thank you John

The 1 bhk apartment and the lobby areas look great. The view from my unit is amazing and I can see the whole skyline. Can't wait to use amenities soon.

Madeline M.

It’s been great so far! However, when we moved in the freight elevator was down. However, the leasing office and staff was very accommodating for the inconvenience.

Jacob K.

Everything has been great so far. The only issue is the freight elevator being out of service which has prevented us from completing our move.

Love the building, amenities and location! Couldn't have picked a better apartment. We have only been here for about 3 months but it's been great!

Erin B.

A very clean, modern building with any amenity you could ask for. The outdoor terrace area is outstanding compared to other similar buildings.

Addison T.

Very new! But good experience so far. Move in was a bit hard cause the service elevator was out - once amenities are open it’ll be a 10/10! Everyone is nice!

Nulee J.

Community is comforting and welcoming. I feel happy and safe living here. At the time like this, livint at the olace where you experience the most comfortness is important

The building is very well located and the apartments are great. I'm really enjoying living here. Everything is easily accessible pharmacy, market.

Tomer T.

I love living at Arkadia, the staff and maintenance are top notch and friendly, the bldg hosts many events for the residents which is great and inclusive and the bldg is extremely pet friendly which for me is super important

DeNae K.

I love living at Arkadia. Friendly staff. Not a big fan of the indoor renovations though. Feels more like a college dorm now rather than upscale living.

I LOVE living at Arkadia. Two things that could make the actual living experience better are: better noise insulation and black out blinds. Otherwise, neighborhood, location, amenities and service are AMAZING!

It has been a good experience. Rent is a bit high, and amenities are lacking but I really like my unit and the atmosphere around the building. Also perfect location for my commute to work which is why I can tolerate higher expenses.

It's a wonderful park for all ages! Family friendly with a view of the city! The Harbor for 2-5 year olds was our favorite!

I would recommend this appartment on every aspects, except for the price because it can be difficult to afford it.

I would definitely recommend this apartment community because of the nice, upgraded apartments, friendly staff, and great amenities.

Worth the cost, beautiful apartment and great amenities. Staff is friendly and supportive

Pros: close to downtown, new building, high ceilings, nice people around. Cons: parking in unsecured; some details in apartment are not well maintained

There are always elevator issues and long elevator wait times, which is not convenient when you have a dog, like many of the residents do.

The rent is a bit expensive

great location, building and amenities nice.

The ammenities & location can't be beat.
