I am having trouble with the te Tenants above me. I have shown Yolanda Brown Proof of all the noise going on upstairs and she continues to ignore me and my fiance. My fiance is a cancer survivor and she needs her peace and quiet the tenants upstairs refuse to control their kids from running in the unit. And they are treating me like I am the problem. It's disgusting what's going on I want out of my lease and she will not release me from my lease.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I’m living at one of Wirtz’s properties off Wellington. Jimmy Styx was super helpful and responsive in my search and through the application process. Definitely recommend.

I lived at 2970 N. Sheridan for 2 years and I could not recommend it enough. Pete was fantastic to work with signing and renewing my lease. Katy is absolutely the nicest human being and is always there to assist with any issues. The maintenance/ cleaning staff are always on top of any issue, no matter how small. They truly couldn’t have a better team. I am grateful that was my first apartment in Chicago. If it was closer to my work I would have stayed.

We've lived at 3270 N. LSD for the past six years and I can't say enough good things about this place. I love the architectural details of the vintage apartments, including the parquet floors and beautiful moulding. We've been able to personalize our apartment with lighting, curtains, and paint and make it feel like our own.
The management doesn't get any better. Ever person who works at this building is charming, professional, responsive, and caring. Concerns are addressed immediately. It would be hard to find a better team.
We're only leaving because we're moving across the country to be closer

Absolutely amazing experience working with the Wirtz family. The Regional Manager and her team were absolutely customer first in every way you can imagine. We are moving to another state but we cant wait to get back to Chicago/Wirtz residence once our commitments have been met else where. Special thank to the Wirtz Team for making us so comfortable for 5 years!

I've had an overall positive experience living with Wirtz, primarily due to all the lovely staff. They have always been accommodating and highly responsive.
When searching for an apartment, I chose a unit that was undergoing renovations. Throughout the entire reno, they sent me continuous updates and photos. When I found out the cabinets were not going to be the color I initially expected, they went out of their way to work with me and find a finish that I would like. When I finally moved in, the apartment looked beautiful.
While living here, maintenance was always on top of repair requests,

I have rented now twice from Wirtz in the 2970 N Sheridan location and I can only rave about the management, the way the building is run and maintained, and the location. Management is a huge make or break for me, and I have to say the team in this building are, bar none, the best I have rented from in Chicago. Pete, Katy, Elise, Roman, Oscar... all are constant presences here and honestly, they make you feel like royalty! If I have ever had an issue with my apartment, within 24 hours I see remedies. If I ever had questions about leasing or just general questions I have always received rapid responses

Slumlords. I did not feel safe or respected while living there. I lived at 3270 LSD for 5 years, and each year things got worse, yet more expensive. The building is falling apart, and the company has a lot of turnover so things are clearly not managed well. They are trying to market themselves as "luxury," but that means a lot more than a new coat of paint in the lobby. It means being attentive, proactive, and treating your tenants like valued customers. I had so many maintenance issues, and had to push every time to get them taken seriously. My apartment flooded after I reported an issue

THEIR UNITS ARE INFESTED WITH ROACHES and when you bring it to their attention they will deny it!!!!!!
If I could get this management company zero stars I would. They are nightmarish. I was a sub tenant on a 6 month lease. It wasn't even six hours before I found two dead cockroaches under the fridge. Within the next three months I'd find seven dead cockroaches plus countless baby cockroaches in my unit and on the ground floor where my unit was located. I tried to bring this to their attention, and they kept denying the fact that there were any cockroaches in the building. I tried working

Couldn't care less about the tenants. First of all it's October 31st in Chicago and we have no heating in our apartment (they're "working" on fixing it for about a month now). We've been waiting 2 weeks for the stove to be fixed. I've been waiting 2 months for someone to resolve the issue with my parking space (it's always partially taken by garbage containers). 3 months wait for the floor to be fixed (still waiting). Oh! And there's a hole in the wall which no one wants to take care of either. If you don't feel like dealing with that kind of stuff

If I could talk to the Miguel of a year ago, I know exactly what I would say: "Yes, go with them, it's the best decision you can possibly make. Don't even doubt it!". By that time, I was looking for an apartment every single day, all day long. Of course, finding a place to live is a very important decision. I would have loved it in anyone would have told me how amazing living here would have been. I first arrived by the beginning of August 2018 and I'm still living here. 422 W Melrose St. truly is my home now. It has been the best decision I made!

The Wirtz staff did a great job on updating our apartment with beautiful new lighting. The work was scheduled quickly and performed professionally. The electricians and painters were superb! Thank you to Rachel Lindo and team for making these updates happen.

Very responsive to simple requests such as "need deadbolt fixed"

Will not respond to inquiry into when they will wash windows. I've lived in a Wirtz apartment for over 18 months and the windows have never been washed.

Wirtz also completely re-did hallways and light fixtures, but won't upgrade single pane windows that are over 100 years old and let hot and cold air in like there's nothing there. Cracking paint everywhere, broken doorknobs, broken laundry machines and elevators out of service constantly. AND they have the audacity to raise the rent on people.

Just like most big rental companies in
Chicago, Wirtz could care less about their tenants and only care about $$$. They're inconsiderate of tenant's time and inflexible.

A few weeks ago I received an email on a Wednesday that painters were coming to paint my apartment door on a Friday. The email stated my apartment door would need to be unlocked all day and pets would need to be secured or removed. I didn't feel comfortable relying on 1 maintenance person to keep an eye on 12 units and I live in a studio, so no way to secure my cat without someone being home. I had to unexpectedly

Don't even try applying if you are anything less than perfect. Difficult to contact whomever you're working with. Waste of my time.

COCKROACHES, cockroaches, cockroaches. I was a long time tenant because I couldn't afford to move. Every two months a big juicy 3 inch cockroach crawled into my apartment, and there were always ten dead ones on the back stairs. They always promised to call an exterminator, but the cockroaches never stopped. A crappy building run by a GREEDY company. DO NOT RENT FROM WIRTZ.

For me, Wirtz Realty has been the most responsive realty company I've ever dealt with. As an almost former resident of 535 W Cornelia, maintenance was by far the best in regards to responsiveness. I will never forget putting in a work order and John (one of the building engineers) was at my door within 3 minutes. I was beyond baffled. The same holds true for the main office on Melrose. Pete Koszela always gets back within hours in regards to pretty much anything. If he can tell you're a little over worried in regards to something, he'll let you know everything's good and ease

I lived in the property located at 3000 N Sheridan Rd from 2011-2016. Overall, this property is amazing. The door staff is friendly enough and the maintenance staff is friendly as well. I'll give a special shout out to Zi, he is one of the nicest men you will ever meet!

Most maintenance requests were fixed within the week of request. Some units in this building were updated, others were not. Current rents in the building seem to be a little high; however the units are gorgeous and very large. I had a hard time moving away from this place but figured it was time to stop renting and to purchase

I'm very impressed so far! I'm relocating after graduating college and it's my first time living in a big city. Pete Koszela was spectacular and helped answer the millions of questions I had about moving here with promptness and patience. I gave him a list of things I wanted in an apartment and he did very well at helping find the best place for me. Additionally, he helped get my car parked inside while I was moving in after having issues with my car window that left my car interior exposed. The guys who helped park it were also fantastic, and the lady who helped us park the UHAUL

Update: No reply to my previous review? Cool, only goes to show my next comment about caring is just how this company operates. So after having a rock thrown threw my window, the "on-site" building engineer was too busy "hanging out with friends at dinner" to care. Told me to tape up the window and "I'll look into fixing it". So not only do I have the worst service and carefree people ever, I'm still going to be homeless for almost a week hoping someone will be concerned about my safety besides my neighbor.

Can I change this to 0 or -1 star? No, so an update

The apartment is clean, so that's good. 2970 N. Sheridan Rd.

Negatives: didn't tell me they were erecting a giant high rise next door, which takes away my view. I probably could have figured that out, so maybe that's on me.

Constant construction on my building. Was not told about that. Put in "energy efficient" taps, which messed up my water pressure. Little refrigerator isn't very good at keeping food fresh. The elevators are broken often. You have to pay $100 to install and $100 to take out air conditioners, and you have to use THEIR guys to do it.

Now they
