Nice Apartments

Very clean and quiet place to live.

Very Good

Best Position, Best Apartments and Best Staff

It is a great choice in Oak Park due to location

Positives Best choice in Oak park due to location. Rooms are good size and kitchens and bathrooms very pleasant. Great parking availability. Friendly staff, nice club house and gym. Convenient trash disposal. Feels very safe.

Cons higher rent than in other places. Would prefer if floors were wood rather than carpets. In gym TVs do not work, antibacterial wipes frequently missing. In club sometimes coffee missing and no cups for coffee ever available. The biggest turn off is that pets urinate and poop in elevators Despite the best effort of cleaning staff elevators smell unpleasantly especially during week-ends. Wish that get together parties were more frequent and better organized.
Response:
Wlodzimier, thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are actually looking into adding wood flooring in some of the apartments so we hope to see that in 2016. I understand some of your concerns and I will make sure those are taken care of right away. We love having our monthly activities and we are very happy that you enjoy them. We will definitely look into hosting more parties throughout the month. If you have any further questions or concerns, please to do not hesitate to reach me directly at (708) 383-3000 or oakparkplacemgr@lincolnapts.com.
Thank you, Erin B. ~ Business Manager

Great property

Staff and maintenance is very responsive. Noise levels are good and I live on a dog floor, yet I really don't hear them. Well maintained property and a good value given the neighborhood and its amenities.
Joseph, thank you so much for your kind review. We strive on excellence and we are always here for you when you need something. We will continue to maintain the property so that our residents are highly satisfied. Thank you, Erin B. ~ Business Manager

Overall best apartment complex in Oak Park

It's one of the best places to live in Chicago, being so close to downtown Chicago but away from the hustle and bustle. Also being located in the heart of Oak Park is great as well, being so close to a host of amenities and stores. The inside as great as well, with the modern design and layout all being refreshing compared to other places in the area.The gym could definitely be bigger, maybe combine it with the yoga room next to it since it's barely used. The area on the roof deck could be used more effectively. Lots of grass but its not for pets Maybe build on top of the heating and cooling equipment and add a swimming pool room These are obviously dream scenarios, but if a swimming pool was built somewhere there'd be no competition within 10 miles. This place would have it all.
Jonathan,
Your ideas are wonderful and we are definitely looking into some building renovations for next year. I am so glad you like Oak Park Place Apartments and all of the nearby conveniences. I will keep all of your ideas in mind. Thank you.

Excellent convenient place to live.

I would highly recommend OPP to anyone looking for a place in downtown Oak Park. The management is extremely helpful and caring.
The building is well cared for and when requests are put in for maintenance within my apartment it is taken care of very quickly.
Vicki,
We appreciate your feedback. The maintenance technicians take pride in their work and we are very happy to know that you notice that. Thank you so much. ~Erin B., Business Manager

Best place to live in Oak Park

Apts are very energy efficient. Common areas upgraded and very well maintained.
Elizabeth, I'm so glad you liked what you saw at Oak Park Place Apartments. There is more to come and we hope you are there to share it with us. We work very hard to make this a green community. Sincerely, Erin B. Business Manager.

Quality of service has declined significantly since new management.

Things have recently declined in quality since the new management has taken over. The staff in the office are much less personable and we feel as if they are annoyed by the residents of the buiilding.
For example, packages have not been delivered ina timely fashion and the office does not let us know that there are packages waiting for us. In fact, we have not received a single email from the building management since the new company has taken over. The monthly get-togethers that were promised to us on signing our lease has not been taking place either.
Overall, I would not recommend staying at Oak Park Place Apartments to any of my friends at this time.
