About 500 Lake Shore Drive
500 Lake Shore Drive was designed with your lifestyle in mind. Take a dip in the rooftop pool, then retreat from the sun underneath one of the shaded cabanas. Spend the evenings gathered around the firepit, relax in the screening room, or awe your friends with the breathtaking views from your apartment. Each is thoughtfully furnished with floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank floors and custom state-of-the-art kitchens, so you immediately feel at home. All this and more is just steps away from the lakefront path and Chicago's famed beaches.
500 Lake Shore Drive is an apartment community located in Cook County and the 60611 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Chicago Public Schools attendance zone.

Streeterville is an urban neighborhood just north of downtown Chicago with tourist attractions, incredible lake views, and a picturesque city scape. Streeterville houses Northwestern University and is known for its welcoming community. The neighborhood’s main attraction is the Navy Pier, a former Navy training center, that’s been transformed into a tourism haven. Carnival rides, gift shops, eateries, lakefront views, beer garden, and evening fireworks in the summer months make for an incredible one-stop-shop for fun. There’s a wide variety of dining options in town, from four-star French cuisine to casual pub fare.
Downtown’s Museum of Contemporary Art is a big hit with locals and tourists, as is 360 Chicago that offers views from the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building complete with a tilting glass overlooking the city. The Ohio Street Beach is a popular public sandy spot on the lake with a beachside eatery, Caffe Olivia.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at 500 Lake Shore Drive
This location has totally dropped in value. Management, customer service, unit insulation, plumbing etc makes this building and RELATED a terrible option amongst their competitors in the centralized downtown chicago area. Management is extremely unprofessional. They are rude and will harass their tenants. They've tried turning off my fob because I had my mask down while alone in the gym. Now I have to use my neighbors fob to go to the gym or knock on the doors to be let in. Who turns off your fob without notifying you? Especially during your last month for a clear misunderstanding? This building needs to train their employees on unconscious biases and blatant inconsistencies. I say that because when I was working out in the gym, my mask was down on a cardio machine and there was someone else who later walked in with no mask and wasn't addressed. How does that make sense? How would that make anyone feel? Please save yourself the OVERPRICED rent and move somewhere else downtown. Their "app" and rentcafe platform is glitchy and their customer service is often abhorrent. It is not worth it! MOVE ANYWHERE ELSE DOWNTOWN. Not here! They turned my rent on autopay without my permission and made charges to my accounts without my permission. Again, who does that? I will be updating with photos and more detail. There is just too much to address before I leave... but I want to give it a wholistic analysis. LOOK ELSEWHERE!
Management sucks. Dont move here. they will hit you with bills and rent increases even in the pandemic. They are greedy and intrusive
I work in Real Estate and I have seen almost all of Chicago's luxury rental apartments. I would say that, hands down, the finishes in these units surpass any other I have seen! We love living here. There's something about this place that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the concierge service is a nice added plus. When it comes to the amenities, they really knew what they were doing. You do not need a gym membership anywhere else as there is an Equinox gym ion site! The pool area is spectacular and you can see the fireworks clearly each week. There's isn't enough I can say about this place. I would recommend this building above all others!
