Apartment Description
Work & Rec while exploring the Riverwalk, shopping along the Mag Mile or meeting friends for a bite at a River North hot spot. It's Healthy Convenient, with amazing access to both lakefront trails and CTA/Metra trains. It's also Stay & Play in... plentiful amenity spaces, including a stylish clubroom, convenient work-from-home spaces, and a year-round pool. In an effort to continue to reduce our carbon footprint, Lake and Wells partnered with Demi to bring composting to our residents. We’re thrilled to be the first residential building in Chicago to partner with this innovative service beginning in 2024.
Living here has been the best choice we made! It’s safe, clean with all the amenities you could want, and an easy walk to a blue line stop. (Barely a walk, you could hop to it) all the staff here are wonderful and I love coming home. We will definitely be renewing our lease.
Property Manager Responded: Hello, thank you for your kind words and this wonderful review!

Lake & Wells is an amazing place to live. We love the location, the community, the apartment layout, and the amenities. However, the garage security needs to be fixed... otherwise, residents will be highly concerned about continuing to live here.
Property Manager Responded: Hello there, thank you; we appreciate your feedback!

Lake & Wells is an amazing apartment complex that takes care of everything. Management and everyone who works there is friendly and super helpful. Amenities are wonderful and are actually useful. The apartments are different floorplans so there is one that can fill your needs, but they are super great.
Property Manager Responded: Hi, we are so happy to read such a great review about Lake & Wells! Have a great day!
