Peak properties Reviews

Living in my two bedroom apartment (Milwaukee building) has been a wonderful experience. Any issues were addressed by maintaince (David C). within a day or two.

Throughout my lease Peak Property has been very accommodating, I appreciate the prompt and polite demeanor of the property manager (David M).

During the holidays they gave out Starbucks gift cards to the residents!

The area is very walkable with bars, restaurants, and a great free bookstores just minutes away, for your convenience.

The colorful entryway is quite welcoming after a long day, and the neighbors are quite friendly, which is a plus for the shared patio space. The best part is that there's plenty of light during the day, so if you're like me, and love your plants this apartment is perfect for you.

Decent apartments but sometimes you get what you pay for. Had a few issues throughout my 4 years living in their apartments, but they were mostly responsive and did take care of things quickly. But truly the only reason I m giving them 5 stars is because of Yohana who is one of their agents. She took care of everything, even if it wasn t her responsibility! And she s the reason we decided to live with them for another year.

Please be careful! Their maintenance people have entered the home of young women with no notice and without announcing themselves, and they tried to get into their bedrooms when they were home alone. Management did absolutely nothing (not even issuing an apology) to resolve the issue even though they violated the lease and Chicago Municipal Code.

I paid 1150$ for a 1 bed room for a year. Peak offered me the opportunity to renew my lease at the same rate. I moved into a studio in the same building for 910$ as it is more affordable. A single day after my previous lease ended, they listed my former apartment for 950$ . Only 40$ more expensive and over 200 square feet larger. 1058 w George-2911 n Seminary.

Living in a garden unit in an old Chicago building is not without some maintenance headaches, but the team was always on top of things. The automated process for maintenance tickets was super convenient & the team was always professional & helpful. Also, they were flexible & worked with me when I was ready to move out.

I have zero complaints when it comes to Peak Properties managing my unit in Evanston. I have been very happy with their responsiveness thus far. My maintenance requests have been answered within an hour or two. They send out email notices when work on the building is being done. They have been considerate and communicative. Leticia S and Nick S have been beyond helpful with every question I ask them. The happy move in day emails and keep in touch emails from the real estate agent are a really nice touch! Other companies don t do this - very satisfied and would recommend renting from Peak.

There is no communication on where my money is for my refund on my move in fee since my application is denied. One person tells me the money is suppose to go to my account, someone tells me it's suppose to go back to my card, and then someone tells me I didn't pay it all. I feel like I've been scammed. And anytime i contact someone, only voice mail answers. This is really bad for business. Still expecting someone to call me. Almost a $1000 missing from my account.

Being a renter under Peak Properties is by far the worst and most unfortunate renters experience I've ever had. I never receive prompt responses, and when I do they aren't met with urgency or care. I underwent a two month long construction project, which I was told was going to be no more than two days, with no offer of being relocated or receiving any type of living stipend. I repeat, I was living in a construction zone for two full months. I sent multiple emails to Peak telling them how much it affected my day to day, especially during a Pandemic, and continued to receive no support. On top of that, Peak failed to be the point of contact with the construction company, so I was left managing all communication with the third party vendor. After all was said and done, I tried to work with the Property Managing Director on negotiating a reasonable refund for the time spent doing their job, and living in a full on construction zone, and that got no where. This was completely unjust. I also underwent an apartment fire, and due to lack of response by both the Property Manager AND her Director, this set me back 10 days with my insurance company. The list goes on but these two situations speak volumes. I hate to submit a negative review but this went too far and affected my life too much. Renters rent to be taking care of, and have the property managed, that is what we pay for, and by no means was I treated like a renter or seen as their client.

I have rented apartments yearly in Chicago for 6 years now and Peak Properties has been my favorite company to work with thus far. I've been working with Leasing Agent Ivan for two years now and he always responds to my text no matter the time of day and has found me a great living space both years, I love working with him! Any time I've had a maintenance request they have responded very quickly and checked in to make sure everything was satisfactory.

This company is beyond negligent and useless, I am having a hard time figuring out where to start. When we lived in a peak managed property probably the worst part was security. Fran day 1 our unit did not have a functioning deadbolt on our units front door and the main door to the building was so old and crooked that it would only close when tightly shut. I complained for almost a year and this problem was only given attention when a new management company became involved. Our basement was broken into, coincidentally the same weekend the Peak stopped managing the building, it was a strange coincidence as far as timing but when I asked peak if the could look into the issue I got absolutely no response. I can say that at least once I recall Peak workers entering the basement for some electrical work and literally leaving the door wide open until around 11PM or so when I decided to take out the trash and noticed the issue. Actually maintained in the building was nonexistent - hallways were never in 2 years cleaned, I would have to repeatedly ask for air filters to be changed and the weeds needed to be at least 2 feet high for them to finally get weed whacked. In the winter out back stair and second entrance was a literal death trap while our front steps had crumbing cement. They would never clean the snow but rather dump salt on ice and hope for the best I guess? I would never ever live in another Peak managed building. Furthermore if I was a building owner I would not use this company out of fear that massive negligence could turn into a bigger issue.
