   4.6(5 reviews)FMP Score

   why it ranked: Dwight Lofts nails what creative students actually need: dedicated spaces to make art and music without compromise.

The leasing process is refreshingly painless, and the location near DePaul and the Red Line means you're never stuck. As one resident noted, "I just love that it wasn't a hassle like other places that rent," and that ease extends to everything about living here.

   why it ranked: Pittsfield Apartments earns its ranking through location, security, and staff who genuinely care about your experience. Perched in one of downtown's safest neighborhoods with 24-hour doormen and the L-stop just a block away, it's the kind of place that lets parents sleep easy and students focus on school. The team goes above and beyond Margaret, in particular, has earned praise for her responsiveness and heart. As one parent shared, "Margaret was on it. She is extremely helpful and very caring," and that level of attention defines the whole operation. The historic building and proximity to the Bean make it a home with real character.

   The Flats at East West

   view → The Flats at East West

   3.6(5 reviews)FMP Score

   why it ranked: The Flats at East West struggles to deliver on the basics that matter most to students near Roosevelt. Residents consistently report serious safety concerns, with multiple police incidents and inadequate security response that management has dismissed rather than addressed. When students need help most, staff fall short from unhelpful interactions during crises to dismissive front office responses. The combination of safety lapses and poor management accountability makes this a risky choice for your college years.

   777 South State

   view → 777 South State

   1.8(5 reviews)FMP Score

   why it ranked: 777 South State has the bones of a solid building but struggles with follow-through on what drew residents in the first place. The pool closure through August while rent stays full price is a bait-and-switch that frustrates many, and laundry costs have climbed to nearly three dollars per load on machines that don't even work properly. That said, the leasing team and concierge genuinely shine one recent resident noted, "The leasing team and concierge have been very helpful and accommodating, especially during move-in when I had to adjust my date last minute." When management gets it right, they really do, but inconsistency is the real problem here.

   Hyde Lofts

   view → Hyde Lofts

   5.0(4 reviews)FMP Score

   why it ranked: Hyde Lofts stands out for delivering responsive, professional service and genuinely livable spaces at a fair price near campus. Maintenance staff like Sal earn consistent praise for tackling issues quickly and keeping the building in shape, while the furnished units make move-in and move-out painless. Students appreciate the clean, quiet, modern feel and the security setup as one resident put it, "the outside is well lit and open and there are always multiple locked doors that separate the living area." For a no-fuss living experience, this one delivers.
