West 77 Chicago Apartments

Roof/pool scene is awesome. They're always improving stuff, too. Great place to grill, have nice food, use pool/sauna, etc. Also everything is always clean, inside and out.

So far no real pain points - they do shut down the roof at 11pm or 12am, but that's probably for the best haha.

The building hosts several events where we get to meet other tenants. Some events included happy hours at bars, BBQs on the roofdeck, a magic show, game watches in the main lobby, and other events of this nature. The building is very good at communicating these events so there is usually a good turn out.

The neighborhood can tend to be somewhat loud at times depending on what side of the building you live. This can be distracting at times especially at night. It is not something that is unbearable. The second, more disappointing, critique of the building is that the utilities bill is not based on usage but rather on the square footage of your apartment. To explain, the heat and AC charges for the overall building gets allocated to you based on the size of your apartment; regardless of whether or not you have used your heat and AC unit. So if I don't use my heat, for instance, I can still have a heat bill because others in the building have used their units.
