Lofts At River East

Our AC has been broken since February 2023 and they never fixed it. The management office claimed that "being too hot is never an emergency."

I moved in March of 2016 and I am very happy with my decision. It is hard to find actual loft apartments in Chicago, most of the new buildings although spectacular look relatively the same. I appreciate that my apartment is unique. Every encounter I have had with the management team has been positive, I do wish they had more bike storage on in the building, but the rest of the amenities are spacious and well designed.

I’ve lived here for several months now (since the beginning of April) and overall have had a very positive experience! If you’re at all like me, I DEFINITELY look through and appreciate reviews when considering if I want to live somewhere. So, here we go… Pros Staff -- The Staff is great. They’re friendly and they go out of their way to be accommodating, but fair to all residents. Building -- The building is BEAUTIFUL! The units are gorgeous and the amenities are top notch. Location -- The location is AMAZING. Cons Parking – Parking is expensive and unassigned ($250 a month). Overall, The Lofts are a great place to live and I would definitely recommend it to others! ?

We were in awe the minute we walked in. Even my mother who has been trying to get us back to the burbs! This building is so super cool. Seriously could not believe the size of the units. And I don't know who designed this building but we cannot believe how different (in a good way) it is. It's not like any other building. The hallways are HUGE. But the lower level where all the amenities are really blew us away.

Um... about as cool as it gets. this building looks nothing like the hundreds of other buildings. we rented a 2 bed here. the minute we walked in we knew.

The Lofts at River East is the perfect building for those who want apartment living and all of the conveniences that come with it, but don’t want to live in a high rise. A new incarnation of the gorgeous old North Pier Terminal Building, the south facing apartments overlook the Ogden Slip, with a lovely view of Lake Michigan to the East (for most) and the city skyline to the West (for all). We couldn’t wait to move in and already love it here. The apartments have been designed with impeccable taste mixing modern, sleek design with rustic wooden pillars and exposed brick. The building staff have been wonderful, seemingly excited to have people move in. The location is dog-friendly in more ways than just the building itself – there is a dog park directly across the street and dog-welcoming Milton Olive Park and Navy Pier are a mere 5 minute walk. With Whole Foods just up the road and Mariano’s not too far across the river, the River East area has become a great residential neighborhood. Still on top of downtown Chicago, it doesn’t have the noise of River North or the Loop, but instead boasts a lot more grass and dare I say, a little more class!
