The sign touting “brand new” luxury rentals outside Eugenie Terrace is a bit disconcerting to anyone who remembers when the high-rise was built in the 1980s.
I checked in with the leasing office and learned that the building underwent an $18 million renovation of the common areas and units “in recent years.” The makeover did not include in-unit washers and dryers, which many assume is an essential component of “luxury” in Chicago high-rise rentals.
Jarring verbiage aside, at 1730 N Clark St Eugenie Terrace is in the kind of sought-after location – facing the southern end of Lincoln Park – that never gets old.
I’ve heard from someone who lived here that the insulation between units was so poor that the noise was horrible, as in you could here pretty much every little thing between units.
I never visited them there, but I tend to believe this account because I rented at Cobbler Square, also owned by the same company that owns this building (Village Green), and the walls there literally sounded paper-thin.
I could hear my nighboor talking, watching TV, taking a piss in thier toliet…. truely wonderful experience… 😉
nwzimmer,
Village Green is the management company. Ownership is, I believe, different on the two buildings.
