Chicago’s reputation as one of America’s most distinctive cities owes a lot to the electric atmosphere and vibrant culture that defines Downtown Chicago. Iconic sites like Grant Park, Soldier Field, the Chicago Theatre, Navy Pier, and the Chicago Riverwalk are the most famous landmarks in Downtown, but that barely scratches the surface of what the neighborhood has to offer: dozens of theaters, live music venues, museums, and galleries fill the area, along with hundreds of shops and restaurants catering to every conceivable taste, plus the campuses of Columbia College Chicago, DePaul University, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Loop, Greektown, River North, and the Magnificent Mile are all nearby, easily reached by a short ride on the train. There’s no shortage of swanky apartments and condos in Downtown Chicago, but you can often find great deals on studios as well, allowing you to live in the heart of the action even if you’re on a budget.

Property Ratings at Sentral Michigan Avenue
Had a great time at Sentral. Stayed for 2 months. The apartments are well furnished for this type of stay. The amenities and building in general were clean. The yoga/fitness classes were great. The staff was friendly and helpful. It quickly felt like home.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Sentral Michigan Avenue. We're happy we could meet your expectations!
Sleek entrance, computer check in. V spacious apartment, had a good view, loads of natural light. Shower pressure strong (Altho fixture itself is a bit tricky to work), bed comfy, WiFi good. One of windows was faulty and wouldn’t close flush. The doors rattle in their frames cos of draft/wind (had to be blocked with towels etc to stop them so we could sleep) Stylish, simple decor Communal areas nice Altho games room shut at 11pm without notice (no hours of op posted anywhere) Didn’t use pool or gym but they looked good! Walkable from ‘central’ but we used Uber mostly to get about.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we did. We will raise the window issue with our maintenance team. Amenity hours are included in your check-in guide.
My 2 years stay in this apartment was one of the precious times of my entire life. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to live in such a wonderful apartment.

Hi from a spectacular unit at spectacular Sentral! I appreciate the style, comfort, and quiet of the unit, and the trees in Grant Park across the street along with the fresh air and beauty of Lake Michigan right outside the windows! What a treat and special surprise to enjoy this lovely space, with its sunny accent walls and calm yet vibrant decor, and its nice configuration with a home office, perfect for my zoom calls and other work. And I applaud the amazing Team! Thank you!!
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are so happy to have provided you with such an experience.
We just signed our third lease here at Sentral and have loved every minute living here. The views are unmatchable and stunning. We particularly enjoy watching the fireworks from our apartment at Navy Pier. The amenities are great and are always clean. The staff, management, and other tenants are all respectful and genuinely good people. The management especially is very responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure tenants enjoy their time living here. The neighborhood is safe and has great restaurants nearby. We cannot recommend Sentral more.

I moved to Sentral four months ago and absolutely love it here! The building has 24-hour security, a pool, a gym, and weekly social events. Everyone is super nice. I can't think of a better apartment complex.
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much! We love having you here. We hope you make so many beautiful memories in your new home.
Absolutely enjoyed my stay at Sentral Michigan Avenue. As a Sentral resident at another location, I got a 15% discount for my reservation, so I got the premium 2 bedroom apartment, which provides views to both the city and the water. Amenities are also great, they got a beautiful infinity pool, an outdoor hot-tub, a full on gym with Pelotons, yoga room, etc. The apartment comes with cookware, detergents, body wash, shampoo & conditioner, the usual stuff you get at hotels minus the house keeping (which is $150/clean). Location is awesome since it is right in front of Grant Park and Michigan Ave, so if you take the bus, the bus stop that takes you to Magnificent Mile is just across the street (takes about 15 mins walking to Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and Art Institute). Overall, I would highly recommend Sentral to anyone visiting Chicago for the first time.

Just returned from a stay at Sentral Michigan Avenue and WOW. Right from the start I knew I made the right choice with their communication after I booked and their providing information to make my stay and check-in easy and hassle free. Location was great right in the center of Michigan Ave close to great restaurants, attractions and public transportation. I was able to easily check myself in and even make my own keys for the room. My room was spectacular and had the BEST view I've ever had in a Chicago hotel. I could see all the way down from Millenium park to Soldier Field with the most amazing sunset and sunrises. The Amenities were 5 star caliber from their indoor pool (key in chicago, Game room (arcade, pool, board games), community kitchen that looked like it belonged in a multi million dollar home and access to several grills for barbequing, and Gym that is better looking than most health clubs I've been too. Gym had something for every health enthusiasts whether you're into cardio, weights, cross fit, etc. A collegue also travelled with me but stayed at another property and quickly after seeing the property wished he stayed at Sentral Michigan as well. I'm excited that I was able to find this place and it will now always be where I stay when I come to chicago.
Stayed here with SO for a conference at McCormick Place. Close proximity to food, attractions, and water. Lovely staff. Spacious clean room with a modern design! Would definitely stay again! :)

Hi there, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience!
These apartments are fabulous. They were spotlessly clean. Facilities superb. Views from the swimming pool and hot tub were awesome. Could lie in my bed and see the unique Chicago skyline. Staff super friendly. Apartments were well equipped. I was only there a week so didn’t need use of washing machine tumble drier etc but they were there if having a longer stay. The communal facilities were great too. If I come to Chicago again I will look at Sen+ral first to stay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this glowing review. We cannot wait to welcome you again!
Amazing views, check. Beautiful amenities, check. Close to most all of the most beautiful and iconic parts of Chicago, check. This place is amazing, though all things said I would still say it’s made most amazing by the staff. They were some of the best part of coming home. Big shout out to Mael and the crew for all of the conversation, kindness, and taking care of us and the building so well. Never would’ve left but the crime in Chicago is just getting out of control.

Thank you Hi there, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! Good luck in your journey ahead.
Hi there, I have stayed in Sentral Michigan with my family for a week. The location was super central, it’s just across the park on the Michigan Ave. and almost in the beginning of the “magnificent mile” and is very convenient to reach to the metro/bus stations. Chicago river is 20mins away by wall. I would like to highlight the level of professional service you could expect. The common spaces were always clean and maintained regularly. The staff was always available responding to any of our requests instantly. I personally enjoyed morning coffee served during the morning. I would like to thank to the staff and the property management team for their efforts handling our requests as well as keeping the place up and running. If you’re looking for a comfortable and a safe stay at a cozy place in Chicago, you’re on the spot! Gladly again next time, Oscar

I recently moved to the states and this was my first experience of renting a long-term. My friends warned me that I could face a lot of problems, but Central made my experience absolutely comfortable. This rental has everything for a comfortable stay. I also really like the area.

Thank you so much for the glowing review. We are glad we were able to provide you with a wonderful experience.
I was in Chicago for an intense 2 month project — Sentral became a much needed oasis in a busy city (it is perfectly situated in the loop). Stunning views, a calm and clean setting. And an awesome gym to help decompress. And last but not least, a fantastic staff to keep everything running smoothly.

The location of this property is in a very nice area of Chicago and the apartments have incredible views of the city! The seventh floor community area was truly amazing. Great pool area, game room, gym and outdoor decks! This property has something for everyone to enjoy! The staff was welcoming and very helpful throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend this property!

We stayed at this location for a quick visit to Chicago. The room was stunning with the most incredible views of the water and parts of Chicago! We loved the amenities and enjoyed spending time in the chef's corner area as well as the winter garden. Great walkability to local restaurants and the Navy Pier for lunch. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to Chicago in search of a great experience.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so lucky to be in this location at the heart of the best the south loop has to offer. We are happy you loved it.

Couldn't have asked for more - great staff, great view, relaxed vibe. Was here for 3 weeks and my pup loved it too, being so close to a dog park, lots of grass and geese to chase by the water. Not a ton of sexy restaurants around but that's a small thing considering all the good stuff. All in all, super satisfied and grateful for responsive management, in particular, Michael.

moved into SENTRAL in August of 2020 so am a long term resident. I can’t speak highly enough of the location but more importantly, the people. I recently had COVID and everyone from our general manager to our wonderful front desk team went above and beyond to help me. Whether it was a text to see how I was doing, bringing my groceries to me during quarantine or an offer to pick something up for me at a store, it has been so incredibly helpful. Thank you Sentral team - I appreciate you all.

Thank you very much for the review. We appreciate your business.
The features and location of this building sells itself--incredible, unrivaled views, top-tier amenity spaces, friendly staff and neighbors, fun and frequent resident events, well-maintained and always clean, the list goes on and on. What sets this apartment community apart from all the other buildings of its caliber is the management and leasing staff. You will never find a team that will go above and beyond for you the way the Sentral team does. They will always have your best interest, safety, and your well-being at heart and are quick to accommodate each of our needs (specific shout out to Volkan, the General Manager). They are responsive when you reach out to them, they organize awesome events for the residents to meet and mingle, they resolve any issue you may have (which will be very few and far between), and they make a point to genuinely care, value, and appreciate each resident of this building. You will not find that anywhere else, I am certain. I moved in as soon as it was built and intend to stay as long as I can.

We stayed at Sentral for 2 years and absolutely loved our time here. The building is beautiful, clean, pet-friendly, and well-managed. We had a spectacular view of the lake, the Bean, the downtown area, Buckingham Fountain, and Grant Park.

This building is nothing sort of extraordinary! The team always goes out of their way to make sure we had what we needed and couldn't recommended this place enough.
Sentral Chicago is amazing. The location, amenities, view from apartments, and everyone from management to neighbors and service people are incredible. The management especially goes above and beyond with being extremely friendly and professional, fixing all the issues fast and setting up incredible monthly events. We have only great things to say but words dont do justice in describing the great experience we have living in Sentral Chicago.

I have been in this community for 6 months and loved in other high rise buildings in the city. Sentral tops all of them. Today management office served Turkish breakfast. I have never had this kind of service in any high rise.

Thank you for sharing your experience you have been having so far at Sentral!

This property is incredible! The ideal location and amazing views are unbelievable. It was a quick walk or uber ride to all the best places in Chicago. Being able to look over the lake and city everything morning was a dream. The luxury and level of care provided by the management and building are exceptional. I never had any issues and only positive interactions with staff and the facilities. Look no further you have found the PERFECT Chicago apartment. I feel so lucky to have stayed here.

What an incredible review about our property, so thank you for taking the time to write a few words for future residents/guests to see! It means so much to hear that the team was exceptional and positive with every interaction. Plus, I must agree with unobstructed views it is hard to beat the morning sunrises and sunsets our resident/guests get to experience, especially with the lake not be frozen anymore. Please come back and visit anytime - Sentral Team
My husband and I moved in last December and Sentral exceeded our expectations. We feel pampered with the luxurious of the building. All the staff are courteous and care about you.

Is it always great to read the feedback from our neighbors in the community that point out the team! They all try each day to make sure each resident and guest feel at home, because this is the most important part within each team focuses on. Please do not hesitate to give us any ideas of how we can keep pushing to exceed your expectations even more! - Michael Groszko - Director of Operations
First of all our apartment is beautiful and the view is amazing. My wife and I recently moved here from California. Both new to Chicago. We toured several nice places that would have been fine to chose. However the real difference here was the staff at Sentral. They are so friendly, helpful and welcoming and made us feel like we were at home. We could not be happier with our choice and highly recommend Sentral to anyone looking for a luxury high rise apartment in Chicago.

I can't thank you enough for this review as it warm my heart to hear the comments about our team members. I agree building are just buildings, it's the people who make the difference and our team try's to stand out and make each resident feel welcome and happy. Its also great to hear you are enjoying your new home and transitioned well to Chicago, even in the middle of winter. Best - Volkan Pakis - General Manager
This place feels JUST like a hotel. I stayed Here for a week and was gonna switch places just in case i didn’t like it, but ended up extending my stay here at SENTRAL because I loved it too much! Everything is so clean. The staff is helpful and friendly. Access to high quality amenities was a high priority for me. I could Also either walk or take a short Uber to anywhere I wanted to go to. BEST PLACE EVER !!!

Thank you for deciding to stay longer with us and we hope to see you back in the near future. We appreciate your feedback or the team of course this make us happy to hear!! Until next time - Sentral Team
Excellent building with a great location. Best place to stay in downtown Chicago. The building is clean and well taken care of. Friendly, professional and competent staff and management. I'm very glad to have moved here. Thank you so much to Volkan for being so helpful!

Thank you for the excellent comments about our fearless leader and what you think of the building. PS we are happy you are here as well! - Sentral Team
Staff here is awesome, and holy smokes the views from the lakeside units are insane! West side (aka the sunset side) would be awesome to live in too! Management reads and responds to emails quickly, and will always listen to concerns, doing what is realistic to address them. Gym: top notch Pool: small but never busy There are more amenities, and they’re all clean, classy, and well-designed. Love it here.
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
We are so happy you are able to really enjoy all the community has to offer! Our teams try to keep the amenity spaces top notch, so all can enjoy them. We agree as well, the Westside sunsets are pretty stunning and the Eastside sunrises are not to shabby as well. We get to see them on tours and it might help close a few deals :) Thanks again and see you soon! - Emily Williams - Sales Manager
LOVE it!!!! Beginning from the tour, amenities, parking, the neighborhood to the the spectacular views of the city and Lake Michigan I am extremely happy to call this my home for a long time hopefully. Bravo to managements team in keeping the building stunningly clean and for responding to our requests please in a timely matter.
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Thank you for the amazing review of the community and the team! Our housekeeping team works hard to keep the building looking great especially during these winter months with all the snow. If you should need anything you know how to reach us, we look forward to hosting you for years to come. - Sentral Team
Unit items break down at least once a month, they play music outside on the amenities floor so if you live in a lower unit then kiss the quiet goodbye, you’ll be hearing music all hours of the day and night and they refuse to turn it down or off. They’ve created a culture that doesn’t fit the cost of living here.
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Thank you for bringing to our attention via social media which our team quickly notified us. We immediately went to the control panel to change the volume of this music which we were unaware of because that area has been closed during this season. We are sorry you feel we refused to turn it down as we were unaware. Again, we apologize you feel this way about the building and had this disruption as we definitely try to make the community a comfortable space for all. Please feel free to reach out to me directly michael.groszko@sentral.com - Best - Michael
Wow! Sentral Michigan Avenue truly felt like home. I miss it already and cannot wait to return. Big shoutout to the dream team Michael, Volkan, Emily, Daria, Robert and Matt. It is obvious that they put their heart in soul making Michigan Avenue a safe and warm haven for all their residents. The resident events they put on are also absolutely amazing! See you all soon!
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for the wonderful review of or team and community as we try to make everyone feel welcomed. We are glad you enjoy the community events and can't wait to have bigger ones once its safe for more people to gather. We miss our wine and cheese events monthly and hope we can resume once masks can come off. Please come back and visit very soon! - Best - Sentral Team
Security and safety is a major concern Amenities are overcrowded The dog run is absolutely disgusting with pee indoors and out that isn't cleaned up for hours. On multiple occasions I have walked into elevators with dog urine, spilled drinks/alcohol, and trash Management is extremely rude to residents. Completely unreasonable and inconsiderate With COVID regulations in place, management doesn't care to follow the rules and wear masks. The trash chute is always jammed (I'm talking every weekend) and some residents will then leave their trash in the halls so it smells awful The package hub is occasionally full or out of service so you can't get your packages Windows always seem to break / need maintenance on the amenity floors Lots of complaints of dogs barking throughout the building At times, there will be lines out the door to get on an elevator (when people are moving / hotel rooms are fully booked)
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
I apologize you feel your security is compromised as we do have all of our entrances securely locked with each key fob labeled in the system for us to review. Our residents are allowed to bring in guests to visit which would not be registered just like any other building. We want all our our residents to be able to enjoy the community and the amenities, but fully expect them to be respectful of others and the amenity spaces. In regards to the dog run as are asking the teams to make more sweeps and monitoring and trying to identify who might be leaving messes behind as there is a fee associated with this. We also have put up signs and ask individuals to wear masks while in the building, but we can't force people or fins them for this. We would be more than happy to discuss over the phone or in person.
We told the General Manager of Sentral Michigan Ave yesterday that we are definitely staying for another year. In truth, we looked at many larger apartments for less money before we made this final decision to renew. However, we didn’t feel these spaces had the community and soul of this place. Not to mention the amenities and location of Sentral Michigan Avenue. Most important, we love our apartment and are grateful for the last 2+ years to wake up every day to the most amazing sunrises over Lake Michigan and city views. It just never gets old… Here’s to another great year at Sentral! Scott & Mario
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Hi Scott & Mario, We are excited that you have decided to stay with us for another year as we know there is many options around the city! However, I have to agree the views are hard to beat. Its because of amazing tenants such as yourselves that gives us soul in the building, as we all feed off each other (especially during these COVID times). Please let our fearless leader know if you need anything to enhance your experience, during this lease. All the best and thank you for sharing a few comments about our community! Cheers - Michael Groszko - Director of Operations
Security is a big issue. At least half of the units in this building are short term rentals. People act like they own the place. They harass others, trash the place, and hog all the common areas. Moreover, they book one unit and bring many of their friends to party. Front desk does not check anyone's info. They let everyone walk through the door. There are supposedly key fobs to take the elevator but they're fake. Any key fob can go to any floor. Management is downright deceptive. They will not tell you about any of these issues and when you sign the lease, they'll treat you as if you have no rights.

Room is full of bugs and not maintained well. My personal experience is to avoid this PG.

Hi there, I just received this review and first I wanted to apologize about this issue you are having. Nothing about this has been brought to our attention and the review is left anonymous, so I can not reach out to fix the issue directly. We have bi-monthly services to prevent these types of issues and so far this is the first bad experience that has been reported. I would greatly appreciate if you sent me an email - michael.groszko@daydreamapts.com - Director of Operations
I regret moving to Essex On The Park. (FYI--a lot of these other reviews here are not legit or at minimum have been due to residents being compensated via a points system for writing reviews) OVERVIEW-- PROS: -The staff (front desk, custodial, maintenance and event staff) -The views -The building looks nice CONS: -Safety -Parking -Noise -Professionalism/”Bait and switch” -Construction -Trash/Recycling Issues -Closures -Poor Value -Hotel Guests -Internet Issues Safety is a huge issue here. There are random hotel guests (via Sonder) that throw parties, disregard COVID guidelines, don't have health/safety checks or background checks, and who are often rude in common spaces. I could go on and on about the issues, but I will exceed the character limit. I highly HIGHLY encourage you to look elsewhere. I don't know any of my neighbors who are actually happy with this building. The general consensus is that it is way overpriced for what you get.

Essex has been an amazing place to call home for the last 1.5 years! The views, amenities, proximity to the lakefront and REA team - especially George - will be hard to say goodbye to. Highly recommend if you are looking for luxury in the South Loop!

Essex is very well maintained. It's a beautiful building in a great location! Views from the apartments are fantastic. Amenities are great, neat, and well-kept. Wide variety of community events and the management team has all the necessary precautions for COVID in place. Very impressed with how staff has adapted to the pandemic. Notifications about package deliveries are timely and tracked; 24-hr concierge is awesome! Love the staff (Justin is my secret BFF)

Thank you so much for providing us with feedback on your experience at Essex on the Park! We take the health and safety of our community very seriously and are glad to hear you think we are meeting the bar when it comes to COVID-19 protocols. Team Essex loves what they do and exceptional customer service should not be a perk but an expectation. We love welcoming you home to Essex, thank you for trusting us to take great care of you!
We recently moved in about a month ago and are loving it here at Essex! The staff is super friendly, and we love having plenty of green space for our dog and Grant Dog Bark Park close by. The view is gorgeous and the finishings are all new and light (white quartz countertops, light wood floors, and white cabinets and backsplash). There are two showerheads, one of which is high up enough to almost be like a rainfall showerhead. We love living here!

Thank you so much for your kind words! As a Bozzuto community, we are family serving family and to know you picked up on this feeling from day 1 is music to our ears! We look forward to getting to know you better in the coming months (and someday show you our warm smiles behind the masks!) Have an amazing day ahead!
Moved in here about a month ago. I could not be more pleased and mind-blown by the daily majesty of the view. Every morning is a new flavor of sunrise I've never seen before. I've seen more sunrises in the last month than in the first few dozen years of my life. The apartment layout and fixtures are nice, but the view is *still* breathtaking and we are not even to Fall or Winter yet. Proximity to the lake and park(s) are enjoyable as well. Also, Justin, Cleasea and the others downstairs are always helpful.

My experience over the past year at Essex on the Park has been greatly (positively) influenced by the concierge team. They are always ready to assist in all capacities, including walking guests to my door and delivering my packages into my unit whenever I was out of town. Thank you George, Justin , and Mariah! Thank you for all that you do for the EOTP residents!

After taking the tour with Tracee, who was very professional and informative, my mind is set on making this my new home! The amount of amenities Essex on the park provides is amazing. The units are spacious with amazing views of Chicago’s beautiful skyline. Imagine just taking a few steps out of your apartment to find yourself in one of their lounge areas or Winter Garden, amongst a ton of other amenities this community has to offer. If you ever decide to move the South Loop of Chicago, I would certainly recommend this place!
Property Manager at Sentral Michigan Avenue, Responded To This Review
Your review means so much to our team, especially Tracee our Sales & Marketing Associate! Your love of scenic views will not be compromised but enhanced at Essex on the Park. With lush Grant Park across the street, breathtaking views are as convenient as they're fun. Thanks for the recommendation, have an amazing day!
