testimonials
Kenneth and Markus at Wicker Park Connection have consistently gone above and beyond to make my experience here truly outstanding. They are incredibly knowledgeable and always address any concerns promptly and efficiently. I also really appreciate the maintenance staff. They run a smooth operation and upkeep of the building. They always respond to all maintenance requests promptly. Efrain came and helped me out late Friday evening when I was locked out and came early Saturday morning to give me new keys!
Responsive management is a huge plus! So helpful and effective in answering my questions in regard to moving and coming up with solutions to my questions. I appreciate Uzo so so much, made moving much less stressful!
Becky at The Bristol has been amazing. She checked in with me several times before my move in to make sure I had all of the requirements met. My apartment is beautiful and there were no maintenance issues at move in. I couldn't recommend a nicer property manager. Becky went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much.
Management has done a great job with welcoming me into the apartment! Their communication is great and they ensure their tenants are well taken care of.
We have lived at Motif on Belden since summer 2023 and have had a great experience! Marté, Stephane, and Claudio have all been so friendly and helpful.
I've had the opportunity to interact with several team members from 33 Realty from property managers to service technicians. Everyone has been incredibly professional, helpful, and timely. My building and my apartment are kept in great condition and if there's ever something that needs some attention, it's responded to quickly.
