Apartmentratings.com has horror stories re Section 8 residents there. I can't confirm and didn't visit it this weekend. Rayiner seemed to think it wasn't a big deal.AddyO wrote:For everybody looking for housing in the Streeterville Area, I thought McClurg was the best deal, but I ended up going to Lake Shore Plaza (its across from 420 Ohio East). They had Convertibles for 1075 and 1 bedrooms for 1250 with 2 walk in closets and lots of space. All the kitchens are all white so no upgrades but the prices where the best I had seen and you and lock in the rate now if you get on the list. McClurg sorta scared me when they said the rate could change. I'm on the list at both but I think I'll go with Lake Shore Plaza. If anyone has heard horror stories PLEASE pm me. I also visited Onterie, Streeter Place, McClurg, 420 Ohio East and The Seneca if anyone wants details.

I was wondering why this place was a lot cheaper than anywhere else.
Then I google mapped it. I was thinking, too south for old town, too west for Gold Coast, oooooohhhhh.

Re: Northwestern Law Class of 2013
For reals, this area is still pretty touch and go--some blocks will be just fine and will feel like a nice little neighborhood--go 2 blocks another way and your rotty will soil himself under the shine of multiple blue light cameras. Before signing anything I would go to the slum of your choosing in person, then at night walk to a.) the closest bus/el stop you would take to school, b.) the nearest place that sells easy mac/milk/insert stress-relieving snack of choice and c.) the closest place to get a caffeinated beverage/study.NayBoer wrote:What if I use the money I save on rent to buy a gun and a rottweiler?D-hops wrote:You don't want to live there.NayBoer wrote:How horrible is this area today?

If you feel totally comfortable doing the above 3 things (assuming you have any sort of internal ghetto safety-meter) then give it a chance. If you find yourself saying..."well, those gentlemen just must have been trading advil for their studying-induced headaches" or "wow, what neighborhood spirit, everybody is wearing the same color hat...I must get one of these hats!" then I would look elsewhere. Just my .02...

I'm not even going to try it. I'm already filling out an application for the McClurg waitlist.

Thanks. I did read about that. I heard they are on the lower floors in one place and in general I'm not worried about that.

Actually no, lets stay with T13. Otherwise we are tied for the worst t12.

Good point. But there is a pretty big difference between Duke/Northwestern and Cornell.Desert Fox wrote:Actually no, lets stay with T13. Otherwise we are tied for the worst t12.

Word is that NU dropped to 13 this year anyway.
