Central City Management

I have lived at 10 W Elm St for over 8 years and am sad to leave later this month. Morrie and Shawn (in the mgmt. office) have been so accommodating and great to work with. If I ever had an issue, it was immediately addressed. You can’t beat the location, the size of apartment, etc. Very highly recommend if you are in the market for a new place!

My wife and I rented from Central City Management at their west Lakeview location in the 3400 block of Marshfield. If we hadn’t purchased our condo, we would continue living in the apartment indefinitely we loved it so much. The building is in immaculate condition for an 80+ yr-​old building which is a true testament to the care that the owner/​manager (Morrie) has for his properties. Whenever we had any issues (which was not often) his team was promptly able to assist. I found Morrie to be very accommodating; when I had a question/​concern about one of the rules/​addendums to the lease, we discussed and came to agreement. Our experience was that the other renters in the Marshfield location had similar levels of responsibility and it made for a great living arrangement. Also, you can’t beat the price for what you get! Take note: Morrie’s properties are in great condition because he takes care of them and expects his renter’s to do the same. If you aren’t responsible or don’t like following rules, then you should probably look elsewhere.

I loved having Morrie as my landlord! He is understanding and kind. He sees his tenants as people, not just tenants. Anything that is needed from management, is handled quickly and professionally. Morrie and Shawn at the office are easily accessible and always helpful. If you have the opportunity to live anywhere with Central City Management as your management company, I would say do it! Morrie rocks!

I lived in the apartment building in Elgin, IL. The place is quiet and safe. I lived there for 2 years, but I was ready to leave after the first year. The elevator is old and constantly breaking down, and people standing in front of the building smoking. My rent also went up 6% the first year.
The manager was polite and friendly, but I found he would enter the apartments when he wanted. Sometimes he would post a notice informing the tenants, but other times he didn’t. I walked in my apartment, and he replaced the refrigerator. That’s fine, but let me know. I may have my laundry out. Another time, he went in to replace the faucet, again, he didn’t mention this before hand.
If you’re in Elgin, go to Blackhawk Apartments. The price is about the same, but you get way more.

My experience living at 3330 N. Lake Shore was great; I lived there for two years and really enjoyed it. The location is awesome as it is right across from Belmont Harbor and the lake – I’m really going to miss that one-​of-​a-​kind view! In addition to the great location, the apartment was great to live in. Throughout the two years, I never heard any of my neighbors (above, below, next door), which was key. Most importantly, Morrie and Shawn are both really helpful and easy to reach, although I really didn’t have much to contact them about while living there as it was a pretty smooth experience!

I lived at the Lake Shore property (3330 N. Lake Shore Dr) for nearly 3 years and it was a great experience! If you’re looking for convenience, safety and awesome strolls by the Lake, this is the place. Morrie and Shawn are very helpful and respond to emails or phone calls rather quickly. Memorable experience and if I’m ever permanently living in Chicago again, I know where I have a home! Thanks Morrie for helping a CA girl call Chicago home.

I’ve lived at the building at 3330 N. Lake Shore Dr. for the past 3 years, and the only reason I am moving is that I’m buying a condo elsewhere. This apartment has been amazing — the apartment itself is really nice with far more space than I ever would have guessed I could get for the rent; the building is well kept; and the location is great!
Morrie and his staff are always professional, friendly, and responsive (even though I’ve had very few reasons over the past 3 years to need to reach out since everything runs smoothly in the apartment and building).
If you’re looking for an apartment in Lakeview, I would strongly recommend this one!

So the lockout fee isnt even bad. I guess I was mis-​reading what my lease said. haha I had to get new keys made and it was like 5 dollars… thats nothing compared to what I would have paid in my prev. bldg.

I’ve had an excellent experience living at 10 W. Elm since moving in almost a year ago. This building is run and maintained extremely well, is in an absolutely perfect location in the Gold Coast (close to public trans, grocery store, restaurants and bars galore), and provides a great space for singles or couples.
The units themselves have a lot of charm with hardwood floors, french doors, sconces and some built ins. If I could buy a place in this building, I would! I would highly recommend living here for anyone new to the city, or those looking to try out the Gold Coast. I’ve lived in three apartments in the Gold Coast in five years, and by far, 10 W. Elm has been the best!

This is one of the greatest apartments management companies in Chicago because it is not an apartment management company. It is owned and managed by one man who takes great pride in his properties. He treats every unit like his home and keeps to a very high standard when it comes to choosing tenants. The location at State and Elm is second to none, walking distance to all the great amenities the Gold Coast has to offer. And the price is extremely reasonable, especially for the amount of space in the apartment. I would recommend anyone looking for an apartment in the Gold Coast or Lakeview to give this company a call. Ask for Morrie and he’ll take good care of you.
