Reviews of Beal Properties
Brittney Nadler
I love living here - the building, apartment, and neighborhood are great. My rent is surprisingly affordable for now. Whenever I have had issues, the building manager, Eddy, shows up or sends someone very quickly. Everyone I have met is friendly and mature, there are no issues in the building community. The only problem is that the dryers are constantly broken. I would give them 5 stars if they would buy new dryers!
Maddie Warren
Spencer Ford was so amazing to work with! He really understood what I wanted and found me the most perfect place. He took the time to figure out what I needed and understand my “must haves” He’s easy going, friendly, kind, and hard working! He’s been the easiest to work with. 10/10 recommend working with him. Beal has a ton of great places in Chicago, I’m so thankful!

Let me start off by saying, Beal was so quick and so fair to review everything I had to offer as a first time renter! They have the relationships with the agencies around the city that make EVERYTHING go so smooth! The way their applications process works took all the anxiety of renting my first apartment in the city away! It took 5 easy steps and everyone in their offices was so quick to respond to anything I submitted. I even was so excited to get my keys and wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get them before the weekend started and they still were able to pull it off and get me my keys within the hour! I’m 100% sure I saved myself a nightmare of a time renting my first apartment by working with Beal. Keep in mind that this is a face pace industry, come with everything you need for an agent to help you, be prepared and specific about what your looking for and you will also have a great time working with these people!
Madeline Murphy
I had the best time working with Alyssa and Mil from Beal Properties! I was blown away by their timely communication and constantly positive attitudes. Moving to a different city can be very intimidating, but they made the apartment search and leasing process so smooth and easy! I would definitely recommend Beal Properties to anyone apartment hunting in Chicago!
Pierre Gratia
My experience at 2912 N Mildred was good. I had to move out early because I ended up needing a bigger space. Beal were accommodating and offered me to move to another Beal property free of charge.
Hal the building manager is accessible and of great help. I had no issues with the apartment.
Only minus: they don't provide square footage for their apartments so definitely visit in person before signing a lease.
Jack Knuth
I was recently in a pinch to find housing quickly in the lake view area, and Beal Properties were able to succeed in finding a suitable apartment when others could not. Danielle was very helpful and understanding of how quickly I needed to move, while still considering the needs and wants I had for an ideal apartment. This will be my second year using Beal properties for rent in Chicago and I would recommend them to anyone else looking for apartments in Chicago.
Haley Sutliff
Fadila and Dennis made it such an easy process when moving into my apartment through Beal Properties. They are kind people that take care of their residents and it shows they truly want their residents to have positive experience with Beal Properties. I can always rely on them responding very quickly too. I have nothing but great things to say!
Colleen Morris
My building recently transitioned from one property management company to Beal Properties and I've had a great experience with them thus far. Maintenance requests are always addressed in a timely manner and Gazi has been phenomenal and so helpful! My heat wasn't working properly and he stayed for over an hour to make sure it was functioning right. Very happy with Gazi and Beal Properties!
Kimberly Flores
My experience with Beal Properties has been great! My building is always nicely maintained thanks to the building engineer Vasif, and anytime I have a maintenance issue he is super responsive and just such a nice person! 10/10 recommend.
Zack Karmin
The building engineer Gazi at my Beal Properties owned building has been fantastic. There were several maintenance issues with my unit that went ignored by the building's previous ownership, however as soon as Beal took over, Gazi was empathetic and responded quickly to my needs. In fact, he came late at night to fix an urgent issue while he was off the clock.
Michael Salerno
Josh was incredibly helpful with the whole process. My fiance and I were relocating for my job and had a very tight window and Josh was able to work with us quickly to get our lease signed and setup for the days we needed. Zenel also worked with us to help us get set for when our movers arrived.
Since move-in Zenel and his team for maintenance have been incredibly helpful.
5/5, I highly recommend Beal's services especially to anyone who is relocating from outside of Illinois.
Jodi Crocker
My building engineer, Vasif is so wonderful and reliable. I've had to count on him to help me out in a few situations now and he has always replied so quickly and is always there to help. He just came over to fix a problem and was here in under 10 minutes. Truly amazing!
Rowan Obach
505 W Belmont is an old building being renovated. Gabriella is the building manager and is very helpful in all information and requests pertaining to residency. She is very responsive and easy to message if any issues or concerns arise.
Steven C
I had an issue with my apartment. The building engineer, Gazi, was responsive immediately despite it being a holiday. Each interaction I have had with Gazi has been incredibly friendly and helpful - he and Beal Properties help you to truly feel at home. Thank you!
Matt Baran
This is my 2nd apartment with Beal Properties and I have nothing but good things to say. Majda and Julia are great! All minor requests are resolved in a timely manner and anything that needs immediate attention is addressed the day of. Very responsive! Definitely recommend 5/5
Brock Busch
I live at one of their properties and have had a very positive experience. Whenever I have had any issue Vasif has been extremely helpful, friendly and prompt. He has made my experience living here above and beyond what I would normally expect from a Chicago rental property. Highly recommend.
Arianna Kulikova
I’m a resident at 505 Belmont, and even though there is still construction happening, I’m so happy with how maintenance is keeping up with all issues and keeping the building very clean;) love my remodeled unit and I love how Gabriella is always here to listen, clean and help any time any day. Thank you Gabriella!
Brigid Reilly
Gazi, the building engineer, has always been so incredibly helpful at the 656 West Wrightwood Ave apartment building! Any maintenance issue I have , he responds to promptly. Last night, I reached out if he could turn on my heat because I had mistakenly turned it off despite the cold weather, and he did so even though my request was very late. He is the absolute best! Alaina, the property manager, is also very responsive to requests! Alaina, the property manager, is also very repsonsibe to requests!
Rudy Orozco
My furnace went out right before temperatures were supposed to get frigid, and building engineer Zenel was very responsive and in no time my furnace was fixed. I appreciated the sense of urgency and care to my situation.
Augie Haynine
Vasif is amazing If there is ever anything wrong in my apartment unit, he shows up immediately and fixes it with ease. Things can always go wrong in a house/apartment and it's nice to have someone who is reliable and always there to help.
Christine P.
This is our 7th year at a Beal Property and can't stress enough how pleased we are with Beal. Alaina, our Administrative Property Mgr., is extremely responsive and keeps us updated on any concerns, repairs, etc. We've had a few issues over the years, as any tenant, but no matter how big or small, she's extremely easy to work with. Can't say enough good things.
Amanda Dittami
I've only dealt with Beal the last couple weeks and so far, everything has been going quite smoothly. I applied for a lovely apartment and got approved only two days after. Two business days after that I was sent a link to sign my lease. It was super easy to do! I've been working with Marissa who has been really responsive and helpful.
So really, so far, so good!

Jasmin intervened promptly, efficiently and cleanly to repair and replace defective furniture in my apartment. Thank you Jasmin.

***Update: We have received a new oven. While this situation was very frustrating, once we were able to clear up some miscommunication, it was handled professionally and quickly by Beal. They wrote us a sincere apology and have been much more communicative since we expressed our concerns. Aside from the incident below, we have overall had a very positive experience and find that the property is well maintained and the building is safe and quiet.****
My partner and I are disappointed with Beal Properties. Our oven broke in September, it's now the end of January (FOUR MONTHS) and while two people have looked at it, my partner and I have received absolutely NO clean up, repair, or replacement. The inner oven glass shattered, and the door does not seal properly. It is 100% not useable. They have told us that the specific oven model is on hold, but have not explained why we cannot get a different model, brand, or even an oven from an unrented unit. We are at our wits end. Emails and phone calls to management repeatedly get ignored or dismissed. The below picture shows the oven door and the way the glass is not connected.
Abdulrahman Qaddour
I recently moved into a one bedroom. The quality of the apartment has been great. The building manager, Dennis, has been especially kind, friendly, and diligent with his help of my recent move. I had a few instances of requiring help or needing something changed and he always responded in a timely and professional manner. The company itself has been smooth to work with throughout the process. No complaints thus far.
Alex Morea
Eddie A. helped me find my first Chicago apartment. He was patient with me even though I kept changing my mind when picking out the place. He responded promptly to my emails and I highly recommend working with him if you're looking for a place.
I have been in my new apartment for a few nights now and have no complaints. The apartment is exactly what I was looking for and I'm happy I found it! Thanks Eddie and Beal Properties.
Gianna Galioto
I moved in recently and have had nothing but amazing things to say about where I live and am beyond thankful for Denis. He is amazing, accommodating, helpful and so kind beyond words. I can tell the building is well cared about, just as well as the tenants. I feel safe and excited to live here. Having Denis as a point of contact has made the moving process easy and welcoming and I couldn’t recommend more!
Nick Corona
My experience finding an apartment with Beal Properties was great. When touring apartments, I was looking at numerous places and I can say for a fact that my agent and the Beal team were the most organized and pleasant. They were not pushy and understood I was keeping my options open. I toured a few of the buildings and found that many of them were my favorite options and still within my budget!
Will Gallagher
Coming from out of state on short notice has been a breeze with the Beal Properties team! Kristen quickly responded to my inquiry online and sent over videos of the exact apartments I was interested in. After speaking with her on the phone, I felt very comfortable signing a lease. I appreicate how quickly they processed everything since I am on a tight timeline. Mil has been extremely helpful with making sure I have everything ready to go before moving in. Everyone that I've spoken with has been well organized, highly responsive, and extremely friendly. Highly recommend contacting Beal Properties if you are looking for a place in Chicago!
Juan L
Review for 4829 N Damen apartments and property manager Ernes Kisic. Just moved in and the apartment is nice. A few things needed fixing after I moved in. Ernes was able to take care of the list within a week. Ernes commicates well and has been very responsive.
Jim C
Early 2023 update. Still underwhelmed.
Three months in and I am underwhelmed. Howling dogs, neighbor's trash blocking the fire escape, overflowing laundry room trash, not very responsive staff, a building manager who is nice but has to be asked repeatedly for needed items, crazy high prices to do wash, and 5 watt hallway light bulbs. I've been in the business; these are basic no-nos. The real question is, why do the one star reviewers finally get a reply only after posting?
Chelsea Han
My building engineer is awesome. Seada has been so quick to respond to any issues I have. I am preparing for the upcoming summer and have inquired about the current AC unit. She was quick to take a look at it and send it over to management who approved a new ac unit. The ac unit was installed quickly within the week.
Brailey Nudera
Vasif has done such a great job responding to any and all maintenance requests I’ve had since I moved in. A very nice man to work with
Pham Thi Thanh Van
I have been in 817 W Waveland Ave under Beal Properties for over 2 weeks. I love this place, it is so nice with huge beautiful yard and the apartment is big with high ceiling. I can feel like staying home. The building engineer Julia is enthusiastic and thoughtful, she helped me a lot to set up my place and know around. When i needed to fix something, she responded quickly. I can’t thank her enough.
Christian Wirawan
This Review is Strictly for the building engineer at 427-431 W. Belden Ave, Mr. Gazi. I have to say out of all my time renting in chicago, he has to be the best building engineer by far. I had to move out of my current apt may 31 and he was able to get my apt patched up, painted, and cleaned by the afternoon of may 31, right when the previous tenant moved out earlier that day. So with a quick turn around time of 4 hours, I was extremely pleased to not have to find a place to stay overnight with my truck full of stuff. In addition, the response time; whether by text, call, and email was less than 30 minutes, making it really easy to stay up to date on the current conditions of the move in date and time. It's safe to say that Gazi is not only professionally trained with over 20 licenses in regards to building maintenance, but also extremely empathetic to customers' needs.
Kevin Davis
If you are looking for an easy and stress free experience, work with Josh S from Beal Properties! Moved back to Chicago from Seattle, I was unable to view any apartments before moving in. Josh sent me listings and videos of 10+ units and found a perfect fit based on my requirements. Response time was less than 1-2 hours whenever I had questions by phone or email, great experience.
Stanley Lim
I’m a resident at 445 W Wellington and my experience renting here has been amazing. Great unit, and Denis and Fadila are super nice and helpful. There was an incident where water damage when I was away caused the floorboards to morph, and they were both very on top of getting them replaced by speaking to management and the contractors that did the repairs. Highly recommend the building!
Ryne Bennett
I have to say that my experience with this company has been stellar. Kristen was my rental associate and she was consistently communicative from start to finish. On the day of my scheduled viewings, Kristen was extremely patient, accommodating, and listened to what it was I was looking for. I was then put into contact with Mil, the leasing admin and she was wonderful to work with as well. My move-in plans changed near last minute and I had to move in a week prior to my original move-in day and this was successfully arranged without incident or question. After moving in, the building engineer, Art, has been nothing short of excellent and responsive to my needs. I think my time here is going to be great, and I highly recommend Beal Properties if you're in the market for a new place.
Saba Amirali
Grateful to live in a building where my needs are quickly and carefully listened to. I’ve had to communicate with my building manager Vasif often and he is always reliable, trustworthy, and the best! Great community.
Julie Rogers
I have lived in my building for two years and the building engineer, Vasif, has been so great. I've had to reach out a couple of times for help and he always calls or responds to my text right away and shows up within 5 minutes to fix the issue. The building is also well maintained and I've really enjoyed living here. Thank you for being so helpful!
Mike Glinski
Living in a Beal-owned property has been a great experience so far. Our building engineer, Denis, answers maintenance calls swiftly and always takes care of our unit. Interactions with the rental office have been smooth as well - we were able to discuss, view, and sign our lease digitally without issues when completing our move from out-of-state.
conrad conde
Beal properties and Pioneer Realty Group were amazing to work with. They truly live by the old saying "Customers come first". They went above and beyond to help.
Starhopper
From my very first contact with Jacky the leasing agent, through apartment viewing, application & approval, finalization of the lease and connecting with building management to get my keys, Beal properties could not have provided a more perfect experience!! Thank you for making it easy and getting me a beautiful apartment in Ravenswood. I would recommend this group to anyone!
Ramdas Pophale
I am looking forward to moving into one of the Beal apartments, but wanted to give a shout-out to Emily (Leasing Administrator) for making the application process painless. She was an attentive and well-informed guide through and through.
Gracie
I just recently moved in and I love it. Very easy access to public transportation and the expressway. My building engineer Vasif, is amazing, friendly and very attentive to details. Thank you!
Taylor Gibson
The response time and quality of service we've received from Beal so far has been unmatched - I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to rent!
Angie C
The building engineer Vasif has been responsive and helpful. I have been lived here for a couple of months, nothing to complain about.
Claudia Portilla
I lived for 2.5 years at 4829N Damen Ave. building and had nothing but good experiences with maintenance people who promptly took care of anything I needed.
Ernest is always on top of things and is a very attentive and friendly person who really cares for the tenants comfort.
I've also seen him around fixing and painting vacant units making sure everything is good, working and sparkling clean, ready for the new tenant to move in.
Always great service with the best attitude.
Grateful for a great experience and would definitely consider renting again with Beal Properties in the future.
Lucas Ryan
Nothing but good experiences so far.
Our agent Chase went above and beyond to help us get the apartment, even answering emails on a Sunday night and keeping open communication from start to finish.
Our building engineer Manuel has been awesome. Our toilet and stove broke on a Saturday night (poor coincidence I know) and he came right out that night and replaced the whole toilet and fixed the stove. He even noticed that the water pressure in our shower was a little low and said that he would send someone to take a look this week.
The apartment was clean when we moved in and we have no complaints, everything has been as advertised/expected.
JACOB
Moving into my new apartment has been a smooth experience and that’s thanks to the building manager, Gabriella! She replies promptly and is very amicable. In the two weeks leading up to my move I’ve felt taken care of by both Beal and Gabriella. I’d put six stars on this review if I could!!
Dave Mayo
Vasif is an almost daily sight, always doing a through cleaning of the hallways. Including the walls and common areas. Any issue is taken care of with urgency and competence. My friends comment on how clean he keeps the building when they come over. Always makes sure the hallways smell nice and are warm. The back door could use some padding so the building doesn’t shake when it closes though.
Emma Plansky
Loved my experience with my property managers, Julia and Martin! Any time I had an issue, I would call or text Julia and I always got a response either right away or within at most 30 min. The building common space was cleaned every week and I really loved my unit.
Quyen Lopez
Had great experience with BEAL my 3 years here. My building engineer - Ernest is super helpful, responsive to text, friendly, professional and knows how to fix things in an efficient matter. I've lived in many buildings before and it really matters if the maintenance person cares. I can honestly say that Ernest is by far the best building engineer.
Steve Galperin
I recently moved to a beal property and the building engineer (Vasif) has been extremely helpful in showing me around and being available for misc requests that have come up from time to time.
Eric Ibarra
This company allowed me to get my first apartment - moved in late 2018. Now they are handling my second apartment.
Would I recommend my 1st Apt Building and the Manager Gabby?
Yes.
Would I recommend BEAL Proprieties?
Yes.
Any inconveniences we’re handled immediately.
When my first apt started having major issues the Manager Gabby helped right away and with the help of BEAL, they were able to provide me a new space in a new building.
I can wholeheartedly say, this was a GREAT first apt experience and so far being a great second apt experience.
5/5 = Perfection
My rating of 4/5 is because there’s always room for improvement as a company that I won’t add here but the management: my building manager Gabby, my new building manager Jas, and admin Kaylyn — get 5+/5. Amazing people working for a great company and deserve compensation.
prathik jain
Positive: Responsiveness, Friendly, Professionalism.
I had requested maintenance to get blinds and faucets fixed and the light bulbs changed. The building engineer, Vasif responded immediately and provided really great service!
shungu chimbangu
I just moved into my apartment at 2321 N. Rockwell. The buildings interior and exterior is beautifully maintained by our building engineer, Vasif. Vasif is a credit to the company, always making himself available for whatever the tenants may need assistance with. Just this past Friday, I contacted Vasif early in the morning on my way to work, to ask if could check on my ceiling light fixtures which were flickering. Within an hour, I received conffirmation that he had changed out the bulbs and replaced them. He also advised that I had left one of my windows slightly ajar. He closed it and made sure there were no other windows not closed fully. On returning home, I found and extra bulb he had left for me, just in case. This is 5-star service and a great benefit of living in this building.
Lauren King
Our experience moving into an apartment here has been amazing! Vasif has been so helpful, responsive, kind and gave us great tips on how to put our furniture in the apartment so it would work best for us. He has made it such a smooth and fun process and has gone above and beyond. We are really impressed. Thanks so much for everything!
Tyler Rudolph
This review is mostly for the amazing work by Manuel and the rest of the team at 622 W Cornelia. We moved in back in April, right around when Manuel started at this location and he has been the most helpful, friendly, efficient, and dependable building manager/engineer I have experienced! I can’t thank him enough for all of the improvements he’s made and the work that the team does to keep the property looking great. And of course thanks to Beal as a whole for the great renovations since we moved in! Would definitely recommend this place.
Logan Lenhardt
I would like to share that my experience while residing at the Beal Property around the Lakeview/Wrigleyville neighborhood has been wonderful. The buildings are well maintained and clean always, and the property engineer, Manuel, is so prompt in addressing anything to improve the residence for all.
Recently, Manuel came to my apartment and installed both of my window AC units-which I would not have been able to do myself, and I am so thankful to live somewhere that has employees who are willing to jump in and help their tenants, it really creates a sense of community!
Thank you Manuel, and Beal Properties!
-Logan Lenhardt
Caitlyn Clair
I just moved into my building last month and am really liking it here. Vasif, my building engineer, is genuinely so kind and helpful. I needed help getting a piece of furniture up my stairs, and he even offered to help me — which is above and beyond, something he totally didn’t have to assist with. Very responsive and attentive to any building needs. The property is always maintained well and I love this community. So appreciative!
Madeline Story
The folks at Beal Properties are exceptional at their work. I simply gave my leasing agent, JW, a list of my apartment requirements, and he provided me a list of excellent options to tour. We spend just a few hours visiting different units, and I was quickly able to find a perfect spot that met all of my needs and desires! Mil, my leasing administrator, was quick to respond and helped me complete my lease. I'd recommend this company for anyone who doesn't have time during their busy schedule to endlessly search for apartments! They made it quite painless and went above and beyond in their service.
A E
Phenomenal apartment and staff. Alma could not have been more helpful in my move in process, and I’m happy to be living under Beal Properties.
Edit: Beal continues to do an amazing job, especially Danielle! They are all extremely accommodating and take time to listen to their residents, 10/10!
Dave F. Brown
It can be a daunting experience moving into a huge metropolitan area like Chicago; but not when you're teaming up with Beal Properties! We were treated with kid gloves all along the path--from the agent (Jackie) who persisted in getting in to show us the apartment that we were interested in seeing, to Mil, the leasing administrator at Beal Properties! Mil fielded about seven phone calls from me, and despite my obvious "one more question" annoyance, Mil couldn't have been more patient, polite, and professional! I highly recommend Beal Properties for your search for that perfect place in Chicago!
Patricia Razo
I am about to leave my unit at 445 W. Wellington Ave, and I will say the building engineers are amazing. Denis always got back to me and when I had questions about the unit was quick to help. All the other individuals I interacted with that are affiliated with Beal, like Majda, were very understanding and professional. I ended my lease early and bought myself out of my lease because I just didn't have the best experience here or best interactions with the people who live on the same floor as me. I wish I would have researched more about the building before committing to it. I've lived in apartment complexes before and this one has the thinnest walls. My neighbor's office space and my bedroom share a wall and when she is on a conference call it sounds like she is sitting beside me. I also didn't realize how connected the vents are either. Whatever my neighbors are cooking made the whole apartment smell, sometimes it smells good and other times not so much. The AC units are not all that great and are extremely loud. If you let it run too long it makes the unit smell like mildew. Love the location and the area I just think it's a tad overpriced for what you're really getting. Because of the interactions I had with admin, I'd rent from BEAL again, I'd just rent in a different building.
Cvetan Kostadinov
I’m writing this review for 445 W Barry building where Jasmin is the building engineer. Jasmin makes sure the building is cleaned every morning, and its always clean and smells great. Jasmin is very responsive to all maintenance requests he usually takes care of them the same day or next day the latest. I have been a tenant here for two years and will renew again in December. I’m very happy with the building and management as Majda who also works in the office always takes care of any concerns immediately. I would recommend this building or any building where Jasmin manages it.
Lorena Mejia
Beal properties in the North Shore is home sweet home. I find that the management company does care for their residents and take pride in keeping up with the properties. I have lived at two locations in the North Shore managed by Beal Properties each time I found their team both Engineers and Office staff to be customer oriented, resourceful, friendly, and will go above and beyond to help you with maintenance and with security measures or concerns within their agreed service level agreement sometimes even expedited that's great service. The team at the office are always so very responsive in my experiences and will provide a good "why" if a request can not be met or fulfilled. This is so important and makes you feel heard. I appreciate the team at Beal Properties and enjoy my time as a resident and happy to call this "home" as a result.
Ally Donnantuono
I recently moved into a new place and there were minor issues here and there. The bathtub faucet was dripping, the dishwasher needed to be replaced and the closet doors were falling off the tracks to name a few. However my five stars are for my building engineer Seada and her husband. They are so kind and so responsive. Most of this was fixed within 24 hours of making them aware of it, and what did not get fixed right away, she was always sure to follow up with the right people and keep me updated until it was fixed.
Harmony Cox
Just moved in to the Damen Apartments and it's been great. My move in got delayed by issues with my moving company and they were responsive and helpful throughout a frustrating process. My building manager Ernes is completely on top of maintenance, and he's also friendly and helpful every time we interact.. He returns text and calls right away, and fixes things immediately. My experiences with the front desk folks have also been good. Overall, it's been a great experience so far. I love the location and I love the building!
Elaine Matteucci
Dennis is THE BEST! Our front hallway lightbulb needed replacing and our blinds accidentally broke and he came to fix everything right away. He was so fast responding to and addressing the issues. Thank you Dennis! You've been extremely helpful and efficient ever since we moved in last month!
Brittany Daugherty
I moved to a Beal Property in June of 2020. My experience with them has actually been great and I have dealt with a lot of property managers in the past! Britt in the management office is super kind and helpful and quick to assist with any issues. We also have a building engineer at each building. Mine is Vasif and he is doing great!! He keeps the courtyard looking amazing and is always so quick to assist with any maintenance issues. Seriously he will get there the same day or next day and fix your problems. I’ve lived places in the past where it takes weeks to have an issue fixed. Thank you for the awesome service!
Darius Burroughs
I would like take the time to thank my building engineer Gabriella for always being responsive and patient when things came up regarding repairs and services. I would also like give my appreciations to the entire maintenance team, repairs team and the extermination team at Beal properties. Often these aspects are forgotten or looked over, but I believe there is virtue in appreciation and understanding. I'm not going to say everything is perfect, but I will say the way in which the staff responds to imperfect occurrences is commendable. Please keep up the good work.
Holly Zabrin
I lived at 917 w dakin for about 2 years. It was a very convenient location next to the train and a wonderful area. Towards the last year of my lease, my ceiling started having significant water damage. The ceiling became puffy and began leaking a lot of water when it would rain. I called the leasing office several times and a roofer has yet to come fix the issue (it’s been over 5 months). When I spoke with the manager from Beal Properties, and they informed me that many units had this issue and several locations at Beal. Many drawers were also loose and fell apart easily that I had to fix myself because no one ever came to fix my request. I’d suggest checking out the area for signs of water damage in the unit if checking out this property.
Matthew Lamson
I would specifically like to thank three individuals: Kemal, Dominique, and Zenel. I moved in recently and I love my apartment but there were a few issues that needed to be addressed. (leaky faucet, loose doorknob, etc) The primary building engineer Zenel was sick but he communicated quickly and clearly to get a backup engineer, Kemal, on-site as soon as possible and Kemal was fantastic. He fixed all issues swiftly and he's a really nice guy. All of this was coordinated behind the scenes by Dominque who answered all of my questions on the phone and she is very friendly and polite. I'm looking forward to the rest of my year here!
Emily Allen
I am so impressed with everyone from Beal Properties! The process of securing my new lease was simple, quick, easy, and accommodating. Josh and Mil answered all my questions and were very quick to respond. I would absolutely recommend. Thank you, Josh and Mil!
Carmen Paquette
I wrote a review recently and wanted to update it but I can't find the original review so I am writing another one.
I moved into my current apartment with Beal Properties at the beginning of this year. The building manager changed after my first few months and it has made a huge difference. Seada, the currently building manager, and her husband are wonderful, responsive, and professional.
I had two issues in the apartment after I moved in - a leaky bathroom faucet and a loud noise coming from the refrigerator. Once Seada took over the management both issues were taken care of promptly!
This month my AC unit stopped cooling the apartment and I was nervous to reach back out to them because they had just taken care of my initial complaints. When I finally got the courage up to send Seada a text she responded that same day and Beal replaced my AC without any problem. I can't say enough about how happy I am to live in a building that Seada and her husband manage.
After my past experiences with 4+ different landlords and property management companies I am happy to report that Beal Properties is the way to go!
Emet Durakovic
Very great building. Also very happy with having Gabriella and Dino around, they get things done when needed around here, very happy to live here.
Brenda Rocha
Julia with Beal Properties reached out to me to let me know my sink needed repair before I even knew! She had mentioned that my neighbors sink above me had been clogged and that she thought mine might be having the same issue. Within 30 minutes, I had a fully functioning sink again! So appreciative to have a hard working and thoughtful person as my building engineer.

I had a really good experience with Beale. For my first time renting, all the folks I worked with helped me feel comfortable and excited to rent from them! They were responsive, kind, and even showed me more apartments than I was expecting, so I could have a lot of options. I am moving into my new place this weekend and looking forward to it...all because of the positivity and helpfulness of the people at Beale!

I lived in The Damen Arms for a year. The studio was beautiful and pretty big compared to most other studios. I found the staff at Beal Properties to be very helpful from beginning to end. I moved into another Beal Properties building and it’s still as great as it was from the start! Erness, who is my building engineer, is amazing. He is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. Anything we need help with, he’s on top of it. I can’t believe he does such a good job while taking care of as many buildings as he does! He’s been friendly and welcoming from the beginning and it always makes my day better to see him. Christy, who helped me and my boyfriend find our apartment, was wonderful! Mil, the leasing admin, has also been wonderful. I was supposed to move out on the 31st and move in to the new place on the 1st and Mil helped me with arrangements so I wasn’t homeless nfor a night. These buildings are well-maintained with wonderful staff! Very happy to be with Beal for another year!
Ashley Goedecke
Vasif, our friendly and hardworking building engineer, is quick to respond to any issue or inquiry and is eager to help out with whatever is needed. I can always count on him to answer and he drops everything to help any of us!
Update 6/3/22: My A/C unit broke and I messaged Vasif, our building manager, who responded right away to come and help me install my new unit! He truly cares about his residents.
Taylor Hopson
Gabriella is a wonderful building manager. She is very attentive and helpful. I love my studio apartment. I moved in back in April and have nothing but nice things to say. Thanks for making my first apartment a good one!
Ashton Shirley
I currently reside in one of the Logan Square properties and just wanted to praise our building engineer, Vasif. I have had a few instances where I have needed his help, and he is always very responsive and helpful. He has a positive attitude and I now feel very comfortable asking him for help. As a young female living by myself in Chicago, I haven't always felt very safe being alone with maintenance guys in my previous apartments. This is certainly not the case with Vasif. In general, Beal Properties has also been great to work with. They respond within 24 hours and are always friendly. I have also appreciated how understanding they have seemed to be throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Jane Hanneman
I’ve had a great experience with Beal Properties so far, from my rental associate to building engineer. My rental associate, Kristen, was incredibly helpful and communicative in getting my application in. My leasing admin, Mil, was also very helpful in putting together my lease and giving me all the info I needed to move in. Finally, Dennis, Fadila and the team have been amazing in getting me set up — they were incredibly helpful in arranging my move and getting me familiar with the building, and are always available to help if I have any questions or issues. Would definitely recommend Beal.
Rose
Just moved into one of their apartments and it's very nice and more spacious than I thought it would be. New appliances that match, nice granite countertops, and recently waxed floors. The building engineer Ernes goes above and beyond to help with any issue you may have and will fix anything very quickly. He worked super hard to get everything into top shape for my move in and even gave me a helpful tour of the apartment building when he gave me the keys. Highly recommend.
Kate Collinger
I am extremely impressed by the responsiveness and timeliness of the maintenance requests/issues that I have thus far had at my apartment (4641 N. Paulina). I had an issue with my stove and Nick came by in 4 minutes to assist me. When I alerted him of another small concern, he followed up immediately, came by the next day and they already in motion to replace the stove completely by Friday (received the email update from Beal and text message from my building manager yesterday- on Wednesday). Marija, my building manager, is extremely friendly and helpful and Nick who assists her in maintenance issues is always very kind and prompt. I have a friend who is dealing with a nightmare plumbing issue at a newly constructed building in Lincoln Square and had received no communication on the issue in over 3 months. I have nothing but positive things to say about my building and the promptness of my requests/issues at Beal Properties. I am only 4 months into my lease and am so thrilled.
J G
I am moving into my apartment next month and I have had nothing but great communication with those at Beal Properties. Everyone has been very professional, welcoming, and quick to respond to my questions. Specifically the building Engineer and building manager at 660 W Wrightwood Laura and Adrian. I have had many questions just to make sure everything with my move next month goes smoothly and they are always polite and quick to get back to me. Seeing the great communication I’ve had thus far makes me excited to move into my unit next month.
Katie Williams
Before I get into this, let me say this great review is for Vasif at Beal Properties, my building manager for the past 2 years. Vasif was absolutely incredible—easy to contact, responsive, always took care of any issues immediately. My bathroom ceiling leaked and fell in, and he fixed it himself entirely within 2 days. When moving out, he painted my entire unit himself. When I was out of town and a really valuable package came unexpectedly early, I figured I would just text him and see if there was any way to bring my package into my unit for extra security, and he did it that day. I will truly miss having him in my building now that I've moved.
I have less glowing things to say about Beal, but I suppose that's the nature of a property management company sometimes. Not very responsive, hard to get a hold of, aggressive. I won't miss this particular company. But I will miss Vasif and he more than makes up for them!!
Abigail Hoffman
I came on to write another review but only option was to edit/delete my previous review. So here I am to rave about how great Vasif is! My dishwasher wasn't working last night and I reached out to him this morning and he was over in less than ten minutes! He is always so prompt and helpful. I have never had great luck with building engineers in my previous buildings and I am constantly blown away by how responsive he is. I am unfortunately moving soon and already know my new building engineer has big shoes to fill.
Krosse Alucard
I've only been living here for a month, but so far it's one of the better apartment buildings I've seen. Management is super friendly and professional, especially Mr. Ernes. He talks to you like he talks to a friend, is always willing to help out the renters in the property, and always makes sure the building is kept clean, tidy, and in great condition. I've had bad building management at previous apartments before but I'm a little more at ease knowing I don't have anything to worry about with this one because of people like Mr. Ernes.
10/10 would recommend.
Charlotte Burnett
Recently moved in to a Beal property. Staff helped to organize a smooth move in process. They are present, easily reachable and friendly. The building is clean and have not had any issues
Molly Phillips-Nugent
I'm not usually one to leave reviews (purely out of forgetfulness) but I'm taking the time to write this because my experience with Beal Properties (specifically Mina!!) has been absolutely outstanding so far.
I'm moving into Chicago in November but my job has left me with zero time to travel into the city to view apartments. I cold-emailed Beal and explained what i was looking for, and Mina replied promptly with a ton of listings in my preferred neighborhood and price range. She then met me on my ONE day off in October to go through several apartment options in two different buildings. When I ended up deciding to try a different neighborhood than the one we viewed apartments in, she was so flexible, friendly, and kind about it. She even did FaceTime tours with me in the new neighborhood and sent me videos of each apartment so I could make an informed decision. I was so impressed by the whole experience and felt so taken care of. I'm used to renting in Northern California/bay area where there is so much competition you have to sign a lease for the first place you see. It was such a treat to have flexibility and to take my time making a choice. Mina was so accommodating and I felt like I gained a friend out of the whole process. Thank you Mina!! I can't wait to move in :) :)
Nicholas Budden
Vasif, the building engineer, does a phenomenal job. I have been in my apartment for over a year (just renewed my lease), and he has been quick to address all of the minor repairs needed (usually replying to messages within the hour and often resolving issues within the same business day). To date, he has helped me repair my kitchen sink, unclog my shower drain, and install a window AC unit. 5/5 for Vasif.
JustBeDrake
Had an issue called my building manager Vasif and he was quick and efficient great work.
Madeline Perkins
I love Beal Properties!! Our apartment is spacious, well-maintained, affordable, and in a great neighborhood. Our building engineer Zenel lives nearby and is always around fixing things, landscaping, and taking care of everyone. He’s the best! When Covid hit, they kept all of their staff—not furloughing anyone!—whether cleaners (who started cleaning common spaces even more thoroughly—we love our sweet cleaner!) or engineers or leasing staff. And speaking of their front office, Josh helped us prep to re-sign our lease (of course we’re staying another year!) and was professional, helpful, and kind. And Bree was great too! They kept reaching out even as I kept missing their phone calls on accident. I found this place through word-of-mouth referral, which is how you know it’s good. And it’s been the best!
Elodie Joubert
This is a 5-star review for the new building manager at 2100-2112 W Ainslie St., Ben.
Ben's been super responsive since day 1. He responded to pretty late call (9pm) to help me get back into my apartment when I locked myself out. He also promptly showed up on a weekend to take care of miscellaneous repairs around my apartment (smoke detector, water filter, toilet paper holder, bathtub seal). I greatly appreciate his flexibility, responsiveness and communication. Furthermore, the common areas of our building have also known significant improvement since he started: the stairs/hallways are cleaner, mailboxes are properly labeled, and there's a lot less junk picking up dust in the basement! I'm grateful to Beal Properties for bringing him on, it was the right move.
Andrianarivo Victor
The building engineer Ernes is a great asset of Beal Properties. He is very patient and professional, and knows how to deal with tenants. I noticed that he is really good at doing his job and communicating. Never before have I experienced such care and attention from a building engineer.
Carolyn Jummati
I am so happy with the service that I have received from Beal Properties-specifically the help from Eddie and Danielle. Eddie showed me the apartment and was super friendly, professional and responsive. He gave me all the advice and support that I needed to give me the best chance of scoring this awesome apartment. Danielle helped me through the process of signing the lease and getting prepared for move in day. As a tenant, I am confident that they will take good care of me and respond to my concerns quickly-very excited for this next step of my life!
Jon Marko
I chose Beal properties because they had good reviews and equally good properties. Chicago being an area with a harrowing rat infestation (and I'm not just talking about the landlords), I could tell intuitively that Beal was not cut from the same cloth as those. Having lived in their unit now for a little over one month I can say with the utmost confidence that you need to believe the hype.
Ava is my building manager and she is three parts professional, compassionate, and quick on addressing tenant concerns. Vasif the building engineer is prompt to address maintenance requests and do them with great and exacting care. I look forward to finishing out the rest of my lease with Beal, and recommend their company to anyone looking for a place in the Chicago area, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Jesse White
UPDATE 2021-09-12: There has been a new building manager/maintenance staff in place for at least several months now. The previous staff left very abruptly and I believe it was due to them having too much work for such a small staff. The new staff have been helpful and work hard. I am optimistic that this staff has the appropriate staff for the workload so that requests are completed without too much delay.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
The building managers, Alma and Mike, for
445 W Barry Ave are really great!
They began their jobs at almost the same time my father moved into the building in December 2018. In just under a year they have not only performed all regular maintenance tasks timely but they have really transformed the building by making significant improvements.
Alma and Mike work really hard; This includes just yesterday when my father told me he saw them doing some cleaning on Thanksgiving day.
Alma and Mike were a large part of our decision to renew our rental agreement for another year.
-Jesse W. (on behalf of my father Randall W.)
Samuel Vance
Vasif, the building engineer, seems to care a lot about the building is kept and has always been quick to respond to maintenance requests!
Lauren Costello
I lived at a property on Arlington for a year until recently, it was my first place after moving from California. The move-in process was extremely simple especially due to Tim, the maintenance manager, who helped me get settled. Tim was extremely helpful throughout my time at Arlington, always responded quickly to any maintenance issues or to help if I locked myself out. The rest of the staff was usually quick to respond to any requests I had as well via email. My studio itself was cute, could use a few kitchen upgrades, but I was comfortable there. The building was safe with multiple layers of security via keypads and locks. Overall I would recommend renting with Beal Properties.
Joey Panelli
I’ve been renting at Beal Property for over 4 years. The new building manager, Ernes is the best I’ve ever met! When he says he’ll do something, he does it. He’s also very kind and makes a point of getting to know his tenets. I love Beal Properties but I give 5 stars to you but more importantly Ernes!!
Marcus Patikas
Beal properties has great customer service. I have had no problems with my studio. Building management is professional and does a great job of keeping the hallways and common area clean. Thank you Vasif.
Gregg O'Connor
My wife and I lived at 555 Arlington for a year. We really enjoyed our time in the building. I can’t give enough praise to Tim the building manager. He was always quick to respond to any issues and is very helpful and responsive. We never had to wait on him to get things fixed. On New Years Eve our sink started reversing and overflowing into our kitchen. Tim had someone there within an hour and had the issue fixed in time for us to still enjoy our night. We were nervous we may have to wait days due to the holiday but Tim really is a great guy and a great building manager. Will be sad to leave a building he runs.
H S
This review is for the Building and Building Engineer at 625 W. Wrightwood only. I recently moved into my new apartment and I am very happy with my unit. It was very clean when I moved in and it has the modern kitchen and bathroom I was looking for. A lot more natural light than my last place which is great. The Building Engineer is Laura and she is AMAZING! She works really hard to address and fix issues that are brought to her attention. She responds to messages and follows up with you to ask if there is anything else you need after a problem is fixed. She really goes above and beyond to make sure tenants are happy. I get the impression that she is always working. I appreciate her dedication and I hope other tenants do as well.
Tim Bougie
Arnel is one of the main staff who I’ve had the opportunity to interact with on occasion in the building and he’s absolutely awesome. Friendly and fast, he was there within minutes when I needed something looked at and is always quick and courteous to respond. He’s one of the main reasons I resigned with the building. The management here has been phenomenal.
Miandra Khuvara
I was so lucky that I came across Josh S. I would need many more than maximum characters to explain how amazing Josh S was throughout the entire apartment search process. From the work he did prior to the apartment viewing , great communication during the search, timely on-going communication, and then most importantly through the whole apartment and leasing process. Josh S is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at his job he felt like a friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend now. It was really great working with Josh S
Matt Duff
I have recently moved in to 445 Barry and after two days a part in my toilet broke. Having issues off the rip can be daunting and a real headache. Luckily the building has Jasmin. Jasmin, I quickly discovered is not only proficient at his job but a real nice man. He fixed my issue in a very quick and efficient manner and when I though there might still be a problem he returned right away to make sure it was taken care of. On top of all that he is always nice to run into and talk with. A house isn't a home without good people. Same can be said for an apartment. It has helped make the move a lot smoother and help me settle in here all the quicker knowing that the building has a proficient engineer and more importantly a good guy!
Ender Camacho
My experience with Beal Properties was kind of ups and downs.
In the beginning, everything was rolling out pretty well. The broker, Carly, was so kind, patient, and honest, showing me the apartment at 3943 N Janssen Ave. The place itself was not bad at all. The building looks impressive, well maintained, and the apartment big, plenty of space, and charming, I must say.
I found too many small details on it that I shared with her, and she took notes and made a request for the Building Engineer so he can start working on it before moving in. Unfortunately, the Building Engineer at that moment did not work on the request. We moved, and nothing on that request was fixed.
There were emails and calls for a few weeks until they finally went back to the business. They explained what happened, of course, they apologized and started working so fast to fix everything written on that request. They introduced me to the new Building Engineer, Julia, and her husband, Martin. Excellent people! Julia called me almost immediately, and she helped me a ton. Julia and Martin were and still so helpful and so friendly. Of course, Alaina, the Administrative Property Manager on Beal Properties, was in contact with me all the time, taking care of my request and my peace of mind.
Beal Properties have good people who care for their clients and their people, like Julia and Martin, Alaina and Carly.
Good on you, Beal Properties, and thank you so much!
Elena Tysh
Me and my husband recently moved into 445 W Wellington. We were welcomed very well by the building managers, Fadila and Dennis. They are incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell they really care about the building and its tenants! I see them constantly keeping the lobby and surrounding areas clean and tidy. When our mattress has been delivered, my husband was not at home and Dennis helped me a lot to get the mattress to the apartment.
I have been impressed by the stark contrast from my previous tenant experience and am very happy with our decision thus far.
Martha Seixas
I have been renting with Beal since August and have had a good experience so far. Rent is easy to pay, and communication has been great since signing the lease. Julia, our building manager, is very helpful and prompt with her services. Starting with the day I moved in and Julia making sure my apartment was move-in ready quickly. After moving in, Julia has helped with a faulty stove - which was replaced with a brand new one in a matter of days, and was readily available to answer a number of questions I had as a new tenant. Thank you, Julia!
Emily Maul
Vasif, the building engineer, has been nothing short of amazing since I’ve lived here. Each time I need maintenance, he comes the next day and my issue is fixed quickly. I highly recommend this company because of their great, responsive and friendly staff.
Nahlah Floyd
We moved in a few months ago just before the pandemic into a property where Tim is the Building Engineer. So far, he (and his team) have been so prompt and friendly with fixing things around the apartment in a timely manner. They have worked hard to keep the building clean on a higher level during this pandemic, which is comforting. We’ve had no major issues so far, and I’ll be sure to leave an updated review closer to lease renewal time, to speak regarding the property management as a whole during our experience.
Chris H
I had a leak in my kitchen and the building engineer, Vasif, quickly responded and fixed my problem. He realized my faucet needed to be replaced and went and bough a new faucet. In under an hour, my leaking kitchen problems were resolved and have remained resolved.
T. E. Burgos
I feel honored to write this review because the service that Beal Properties has provided since I moved into my studio apartment has been absolutely outstanding. First of all, Ava (the administrative property manager) is incredibly responsive and helpful beyond compare, Additionally, she is always willing to assist me in any matter that comes up. Secondly, Sam, my building's engineer, is an amazing individual that has always been prompt to respond and help with any issue that arises. Both Ava and Sam are truly a terrific team, and any company that has them should do everything in their power to keep them. I have not had lots of experience renting, but this particular experience with Beale Properties has been way too smooth and pleasant. Surely they must have some flaws? Well, I have not seen them yet. I recommend Beale Properties wholeheartedly.
Arielle
I want to give a shout-out to both Emily and Ava in the leasing office. Ava has always responded to my emails right away with any questions/concerns etc. that came up while I was living here. And then when I unexpectedly decided I needed to move out a lot sooner than I had originally planned, during the middle of the lease, I worked with Emily. It was an extremely stressful process on my end having to find a sublease in only one month, meanwhile having already signed a new lease elsewhere. Emily was there answering all of my questions/concerns etc. via email and phone throughout the entire process. She would answer right away, was extremely nice, helpful, and understanding, even with my constant 'bothering' as things came up on my end. I'm so thankful for this and really appreciated it.
I also want to give a shout-out to Gabriella who always answers extremely quickly whenever you text her about a question/concern or to schedule a maintenance request. Her husband Dino is the one who usually comes out to complete the request and he is so nice. He knows what he’s doing and will go the extra mile to take care of/fix whatever is going on in the apartment. They are a great team and will try to help you out as much as they can.
This building (739 West Belmont) is extremely conveniently located to just about everything you could possibly need, which I will miss. My studio had a HUGE walk-in closet and 4 windows total (two large, two small), which are both things that are hard to find in a studio. I also really liked that my kitchen was in it’s own little separate room. Neighbors are always quiet (at least on my floor) and/or the walls are well made - I never heard a thing above me or anything in general.
Hillary Mangiaforte
Grace was a huge help in finding my next home during a very quick and volatile time. I'm so thankful for her patience and ability to nail down the properties that would work best for me, my budget, and my lifestyle!
Dana Brownewell
Mary K. made the touring and leasing process incredibly stress-free. Quick responses and guidance make apartment hunting way easier and she did not disappoint! We found the perfect apartment for our location and price point within 45 minutes of touring, I would recommend Beal to anyone looking for quick and accommodating rental service!
Robert Svaia
I had a really good experience working with Beal agents to find an apartment. I worked with both Darby and Josh in the process. Darby showed me an entirely different building that I hadn't considered before that happened to be just the type of apartment I was looking for in a location I didn't really consider. Josh was able to work with me in giving me a little extra time to sign the lease due to some last minute showings, and was able to walk me through my questions and the process clearly. I was able to switch my lease to another unit in the same process very quickly. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment.
Eric Judson
Beal Properties was responsive and helpful in getting me set up to move. The team responded quickly via phone and email. Also, the building engineer was friendly and answered move-in questions.
kalyan mudireddy
I’ve had a great experience with Beal Properties from my rental associate to the building engineer (Ernes). Apartment hunting has always been a pain for me. But this time, Beal Properties made it very easy for me especially because of the quick responses and guidance. The apartment was beautiful and pretty big compared to all the listings I have seen. The prices are also very affordable.
My building engineer, Ernes is amazing. He is extremely polite and always available. He is very responsive and helpful with everythingI needed to do before my move-in date. Extremely glad to get such a nice apartment during this Covid time.
MacKinzie Neal
I am moving into the 445 W Barry building and am super impressed with the way I was welcomed by the building manager, Alma! She had everything ready for me when I got there, including my keys and mailbox set-up. She showed me around the building and even mopped my unit before I started moving stuff in. Her and her husband Mike seem very attentive and are doing a lot to improve the building. The day I received my keys, they had just re-painted all of the hallways and were having security cameras installed. You can tell they really care about the building and its tenants!
Tom Haes
I had a number of different repairs and updates to my unit that needed to be done. My building engineer, Gabriella did a tremendous job in keeping me informed when each would be taken care of. She’s very responsive to maintenance requests and issues and works to make sure everything is completed in full.
Kaley
We loved living on Arlington, it was a beautiful apartment in the best location. We lived there for two years and if we weren’t moving out of Chicago we would have stayed much longer! Tim, the building engineer, and Ardit, on the building staff, are great! They are both very nice, and keep the building really clean and in great shape. Tim is very responsive and made sure any maintenance problem was fixed right away. They always took great care of us. We will really miss living here!
Michael Henry
Great experience working with Beal. Had a stressful and sudden move required for work to Chicago. They very quickly provided options to tour and were extremely efficient and helpful in the lease signing process. Seem to be very accommodating. Looking forward to the move in knowing they'll have my back.
Renee Scavone
I recently moved to my second Beal apartment, and have had an overall positive experience with the company. Though there were some bumps in the road (one of my ceiling lamps came loose) my property manager Gabriella was SUPER responsive, and has answered my MANY emails throughout the last month and a half with patience and respect. Re: the lamp, I said it was fine to leave it until a service person could come on Monday (it happened late Friday night) and she replied that she wanted to make sure everything was all set for my safety, and sent someone over within the hour. Awesome to know she was looking out, and SO happy that the problem was solved so quickly, especially during these stressful times!
Carmen Paquette
I've lived in an apartment with Beal Properties for about 5 months now. They changed building managers three times since I've been living in this apartment and the current building manager Seada is awesome! I was a bit worried initially because I had tried to ask the previous manager about a few issues with the apartment (that have been there since I moved in) and he told me my fridge was "supposed to make that sound". He didn't contact me before bringing in a plumber so I was in a meeting when they came pounding on my door and the plumber didn't actually fix a leak in my bathroom faucet. It was a mess.
Seada and her husband were responsive to my needs and replaced my fridge quickly! They were communicative throughout the entire experience and it was great. They have said they will also get a plumber for the leak again - overall much happier with this experience.
David Nunez
Lived here for a little over half a year. The maintenance team is really fast to response to issues in the building. Specifically Manuel is always there when we need him to do a quick and efficient job. Very friendly and smart. I’m happy to have someone like him around to help us out.
Andrew McCook
I moved into a Beal property over the summer into a building recently converted from condos to apartments. I haven’t had much interaction with the management staff but have gotten to know Dennis and Fidala who keep the building running. I’ve had a few minor (and one that could have easily turned major) issues since moving in. Mainly related to plumbing, but the timeliness in response and quick fixes have been nothing short of incredible service. These guys treat the building as they would their home and it’s definitely appreciated and noticed. They know all of us by name and go out of their way to make sure everything is good. Some of the best building managements folks I’ve experienced.
Hugo Escobar
JW was more than amazing when it came to working with our tight schedule and viewing multiple units. He helped us find the perfect unit and then made it super easy for us to follow up with the leasing department where Mil was also very responsive and helpful with everything we needed to do before our move-in date. So far so good, and I can't wait to officially move in August, and settle into our new home
Luke Keck
I had an amazing experience working with Christy, Grace, and Mil at Beal Properties in Chicago.
I moved across town from West Loop to Wrigleyville which I'm fairly unfamiliar with, and they made the process an absolute breeze, Christy did incredible finding a ton of options that were within my budget and preferences for an apartment. Both she and Grace were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible which relieved so much stress in finding a place even with a busy work schedule. Additionally, after finding an apartment, Mil was extremely responsive and helpful with everything in the leasing, documentation, and fee process.
Definitely recommend to those moving in Chicago.
Brit Austin
I moved into the 427-433 Belden location in August 2019 and have since received amazing service from my building manager Ashley N. She has always been extremely accommodating, kind, and helpful with issues I've had. She is also very good about responsiveness via email/phone and getting back to you in a timely manner. Her customer service is in fact what made me decide on my place and I'm super sad she has moved to a new building. Her and Bruno (building engineer) really set the bar for Beal staff and I'm lucky to have such a positive renter experience. Bruno is amazing and always ready to help.
Andrew Garden
I've seen all the negative reviews, but my experience with Beal Properties has actually been overwhelmingly positive. The lease signing process was easy and straightforward, and Dani in particular was really helpful in helping me understand some questions I had about my lease. They've been prompt and responsive to issues that I've had with my apartment. When I signed my lease, I requested a new refrigerator to match my updated apartment, and they were great about getting it to me and making sure that I was satisfied. Arnel, the building engineer is awesome. He always responds super quickly to texts. I had some second thoughts about signing after reading the poor reviews, but I'm glad I went through with it.
Peter Hepp
711 w Belmont is a great value apartment. They’re always looking at ways to improve look and function. Great building manager Gabriella is very responsive and helpful. The apartments aren’t going to impress but I have been here for 2 years and have no real complaints.
Jennifer Allen
I've been living in this apartment for three years, and I find the Beal Properties group extremely easy to work with compared with most property managers. Especially Cristina, she's so responsive and nice!
Art the handyman is a genuine good guy, and he's always there in case of an emergency. He responds pretty quickly and is sure to communicate with us what the solution is when he fixes things. I'd recommend this company, for sure.
Margie Soto
I have lived on Cornelia for two years now.
I love my apartment and the location!!!
The service and response from the maintenance team has been amazing.
I have had the best overall experience with George our Property manager.
He actually really cares, is always attentive, respectful and easy going and has always made any issue of mine a priority. Having him there has made my experience with Beal Properties perfect and amazing!!
It feels good to have someone that you can talk to and actually cares about his job and doing it well.
***** to George and Beal Properties.
Jenna Spaw
I've lived with Beal Properties for two years now. I have had very few issues, and have had a great experiences with our maintenance staff. Manuel re-did the flooring in my bathroom and was finished within 24 hours. It looks fantastic!
Ross Baker
Great experience renting with Beal properties. They were extremely responsive and helpful during the leasing process as I was moving from out of state and could not do any of the paperwork in person. They have a very easy to use online rent payment system. Sid the building manager has been the best part of my entire experience. He responds to any questions or concerns that I have had about the apartment and has even helped me to install a window AC unit and other things around the apartment. I know that any issue that I have he will be able to help out right away. Definitely would recommend renting from Beal Properties in the Chicago and North Shore area
Chris Martinez
I worked with Josh S., and the guy is an absolute saint. A complete day and night difference from the prior companies I worked with in Chicago; almost immediate responses, complete clarity about the needed credit score, income, etc. I know it's weird reading a gushing review of a leasing company, but rest assured: I wasn't offered a lower rate or anything, and I'm not a bot account. I just genuinely had an absolutely lovely experience working with these guys, so far. I'll update in 6 months or so about the actual apartment (which, btw, was renovated and extremely affordable).

GREAT FULL-SERVICE Beal Properties are fantastic!
I’m living in 660 W Wrightwood and Laura the Building Manager was absolutely amazing and helped me find an apartment when I relocated from China and couldn't have done a better job. She was prompt with getting back to us with our questions via phone or email. She made sure that we were comfortable with our new home.
The building is very clean and maintenance as well fast.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Building managers Mike and Alma 445 West Barry building have been a great help. They are very kind and provides agreat service.
Whenever I had an issue with my apartment they fixed it in a timely manner and made sure everything is working perfectly.
Also they try their best to keep the building in a perfect condition. The building has improved significantly since they moved in both in its cleanliness and appearance.
I highly recommend building managers Mike and Alma if you are looking for dependable and friendly staff. They absolutely made my renting experience very comfortable!

I’ve lived at Waveland apartments for about three years now and Julia (property manager) has always been responsive to any needs I had. She’s quick to act and follows up. Just last week a few tiles had fallen off in our bathroom and she had someone in here to fix it and paint the bathroom in a snap of a finger. Besides her quick responses, she is kind and caring and makes me feel valued as a tenant. Thank you Julia!
Tori Houk
Beal has been a great property management company so far. There are quite a few things that needed to be fixed in my apartment and you can tell that the painting & cleaning was done very quickly and not thoroughly. Yet, that's what you can expect in an old building with many units. Gabriella has gone above and beyond in getting things fixed in my apartment. She's very responsive and quick to get things done (as quick as you can during a pandemic!).
Mckenzi Jackson
I have been with this Company for the past four years, going on five! Anytime (which is hardly EVER) they have always been so attentive! Our building manager Majda has been an absolute joy! She's always friendly and addresses your needs promptly! In regards to the actual company, everyone that I've ever addressed at the Leasing office has been just as helpful! I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Beal Properties or their staff in the 5yrs I've encountered with them! I hope to rent from them for more years to come!!!
Renée Kirk
We have rented from Beal for the last two years. Our experience has been extremely positive. When maintenance issues arise, our building engineer, Tim, is always quick to address things. He is friendly and truly cares about the tenants. We couldn't be happier.
I recently had to address some concerns with the property manager, Barb. She was quick to respond and showed a great deal of empathy and understanding. She addressed things and went out of her way to resolve everything.
We have rented from multiple property management companies in the city, and Beal has the best service by far. I don't usually take the time to write reviews like this, but the level of service I received recently during my interactions with Barb, really warranted it. Thank you, Barb!
Meredith Voegtle
Ben, the Building Engineer is hardworking, polite, and helpful. He has made my move here so easy and in the two short months that I have been here, he is always jumping at the opportunity to help me. He has made a few repairs in my unit and they were always immediate. I couldn't ask for anyone better and more efficient. Beal Properties overall has been wonderful to work with and come highly recommended.
Deb H
The Staff at Beal Properties is very helpful and organized in the application process. They walk you through step by step and keep you posted. They are also very responsive and easy to contact, which is something I personally appreciated since this made the process stress-free. Beal Properties is also one of the largest leasing companies in Chicago, meaning they have a wide variety of apartments to choose from. While I did not work with their agents directly during my apartment search, I highly recommend Beal Properties given their professional, organized and overall satisfactory service.
Jesseca Arlene
I've been living in a Beal Property apartment for a few months now and it's been great. One of the biggest positives has been Vasif, the maintenance contact. He's quick to respond to any emails or questions and also quick to fix any issues. I had a few lights go out and he was able to replace them within the hour. The apartment was very clean and well maintained when I moved in and it's been a great experience all around.
Trey Hopson
Beal Properties were an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I had moved to Chicago from New Orleans and the original place we were moving into turned out to be a terrible location. The realtor got us in touch with Beal Properties and we discovered a beautiful apartment at 660 W. Wrightwood. They were extremely responsive and were able to approve us in a short period of time which really saved our butts since our previous apartment fell through. Once we got the place, we were introduced to Adrian and Laura who act as the property managers. They are extremely friendly and very respectful. They are also very quick to set up appointments for any repairs our place might need. Take it from a recent transplant to Chicago, Beal Properties is the way to go, and their maintenance staff (Adrian and Laura) are top notch. Looking forward to our new life in Chicago. Thanks Beal Properties!!!
Cassy Lalan
My building engineer Vasif has been doing a great job for the past 2 years -- he is constantly at the property making sure it is clean and well maintained. His response to any maintenance requests are always fast and friendly, and he does a great job handling any fixes that are needed. One of the best building managers I've experienced.
Anthony Keen
Let me start by saying, don't listen to what everyone says about this place! There are issues, but if you deal with the right person, you will be in good care! I lived in the 505 W Belmont building and let me start with my building engineers. They were always there when I needed them, responding both quickly and promptly. Any time I had an issue, they were there to take care of it. Whether it had been me forgetting my keys, or something minor with an appliance. They were absolutely fantastic!! My fridge broke, brand new one within days. My oven was rusty (and I'm just that picky) and they replaced it. My toilet began leaking, they replaced the whole toilet.
Then you have the office gals! I've dealt with two that I'd like to thank so much for all their help. Dominic - who works in leasing, and Barb - whom is the manager. Dominic helped me find parking when no one else could. She could've left it upon myself to find a place to park, but she stuck with me and monitored for spots in my area. I will miss how diligent she was in keeping me posted about everything. Barb is hands down the most amazing manager I have ever dealt with. If there was ever any time there was something she didn't believe was handled correctly, she would instantly take the reins and ensure she went the extra mile.
I read the reviews, and I took a chance. I'm so happy I did! Honestly, I would've stayed living in these apartments if it wasn't for a change with my personal situation. If you are looking for a place to live, for a great price, Beal Properties is the team you want to work with. Tell Barb I sent you! They are the reason I felt so comfortable my first year of living in Chicago. 5 stars. Thumbs up. A+++ THANK YOU BEAL!!
Geno Nicole Brauer
Beal Properties truly was so seamless to work with. Mil & David were awesome. My partner & I didn't really even feel like we had questions throughout the whole process of viewing, applying & signing our lease - we were provided with information proactively. We're very excited to move into our beautiful new place :)
Sara
We just moved into an apartment through Beal and had some preliminary repairs that needed to be done. The maintenance staff was very kind and responsive. Tony is our building engineer and is very on top of things! He is friendly and does work in a timely manner, as well as reports back to the tenant to keep them informed. Additionally, we had once instance in which we were unable to reach our building engineer so we reached out to another building engineer, Amer. Amer readily helped us after hours by contacting our building engineer and reassuring us that if we were unable to fix our problem he would personally come out and help even though he was not responsible for our building. We are only at the beginning of our lease but so far we are very impressed with the professional and friendly staff, especially Amer and Tony. Thanks guys!
Rachelle Jacobs
Fantastic people and service. Team members Danielle and Alaina are incredibly helpful. Eldisa, the building manager, is responsive and has upheld a standard of excellency. We are very appreciative for their time and help during our tenancy.
Edit: We are re-signing our lease because we love this place so much. Though rent increased (as expected), the attentiveness and dedication of our building manager Eldisa is a huge reason why we are staying. Any problem we run into (from getting locked out to water damage in the bathroom), he solves right away and with quality work.
Camille Besser
I had a great experience renting here! I recently moved back home to Chicago and didn’t have the best credit. They allowed me to use a co-signer. The building’s maintenance coordinator Gabriella has been very helpful. Every question I have I just text her and she replies very quickly. Getting a response that fast makes me feel good about the decision to move here. It’s important to have a maintenance manager that understands the struggle of a new place or even just the everyday things that may need attention.
Jonathan Cook
When I moved across the country to Chicago, I found a small office available through Beal Properties to teach my piano lessons out of. Every step of the way, both the building engineer and folks at the office were friendly, personable, and attentive to my unique needs. I recently moved into an apartment in the same building, and the experience has been fantastic. Nick and Maria on the 4600 block of Paulina in Ravenswood are the absolute best!! Whenever something comes up or I have a question, they respond quickly and thoroughly, solving any problem I have. I highly recommend renting with Beal and most especially in the buildings managed by Nick and Maria!
M. Doss
I have had a pleasurable experience with the Beal Properties team so far. I live in the Pine Grove building and have had a few small issues with the apartment since moving in last fall. I have reached out to their office several times and was assisted by Parker, who has been helpful in answering my questions and promptly scheduling a fix. The maintenance man, Tony, is personable and has been flexible with his visiting times. I feel like I'm in good hands!
Stephanie Schmid
Apartment was clean, I had no issues, and the building engineer, Ernes, always assisted any time there were any issues. I was definitely glad to have a solid building engineer who kept the apartment complex well kept and was always on top of any requests. I enjoyed my stay here.
Ashley Brice
Recently moved into a unit on 660 West Wrightwood! Laura the building engineer was so thorough with showing me the building and making sure everything was ready for me. The unit was cleaned and painted before my move in day which was great! She has been very responsive and helpful with the entire moving process and I would feel comfortable going to her with any apartment issues if they arise. Really enjoy it here so far.
Janet
Barb has been a great manager. I contacted her after being informed that I wasn't able to renew my lease at a Beal property due to planned renovations. She helped me to find another Beal property and was extremely helpful along the way. In my new apartment, I am struggling a bit with the building engineer. I have lived here for a few weeks now and still don't have a key for my mailbox. There are other issues that I'm also trying to fix, but suffice it to say that the only reason I'm not rating it 5 stars is because of the aforementioned communication problems. Once these issues are resolved, I would consider changing my rating.
Ryan O'Donnell
Very nice and spacious apartments. The staff is extremely efficient in helping with matters when things go wrong. Mehdin, the maintenance person is constantly around and will be at the apartment with 20 minutes for any fix. Emily, the property manager returns emails for any concern within the hour. I couldn’t be anymore impressed with the staff. Apartments are in an amazing part of town, right next to bus stops, train, night life, and plenty of food. I go downtown (loop) everyday to work and the commute is about 25 minutes. I totally plan on renewing the lease!
Chrissy Erickson
Tim and his team are outstanding. They are reliable, dependable and discrete. Each is willing to go above and beyond to assist tennates, within a rapid timeframe. 536 W Arlington Pl is maintained to an extremely high standard, and the interior is both clean and bright. I felt incredibly safe my entire stay. I cannot say enough positives about Tim and Co., the apartments, and my time at 536 W Arlington Pl. I highly recommend this apartment complex!!
Heather Roche
Just moved into the 4851 Damen apartments about a month ago. The location is perfect and I absolutely love it so far. Since the first day I moved in the building engineer Ben has been friendly and very helpful. I always see him working hard and he always greets me with a hello and a smile! I also needed a outlet and my sink fixed and he was in my apartment within hours of me messaging him. (He even saved my bike from getting stolen) He has made my experience very welcoming so far! I highly recommend renting from Beal! Thanks Ben!
Ted Lawrence
Great renting experience! Beal Properties took over for another management company in the building I was living in and I saw upgrades and improvements immediately. They make it super easy to pay rent along with offering promotions and contests for rent payment. The staff is extremely helpful starting with Barb the office manager. She is courteous, professional and knowledgable with all inquiries. I never had a problem with getting in contact with someone when I needed something in regards to my apartment. Their repair/building manager, Zenel, was always very quick and thorough with repairs, as well as being personable and courteous. I would definitely rent with them again and recommend using them for anyone new to the city of Chicago!
Joe J
Love my apt at 445 West Barry. The building managers Mike and Alma are nothing but kind and helpful, and they have never ignored a maintenance request from me. They also manage to respond and act on repairs in a timely manner, which is really appreciated!! The building is kept clean and always smells pleasant. Keep up the good work! :)
Heather Budimulia
I walked by a building and thought it was the perfect location so I cold called the building engineer. I wasn't expecting much from a cold call but was so pleasantly surprised with the level of care and responsiveness I got from Ben. He showed me a few units to give me an idea of the buildings he managed, and while none of those units fit my criteria, he called me two days later to tell me about units that had opened up that were a closer match. I saw them pretty much immediately and applied on the spot. I really enjoyed working with the folks at the leasing office as well. Super responsive and flexible as I was going abroad and needed some buffer time with signing the lease/ paying off the initial fees. Excited to be moving into this community.
Krista Engler
Moved into 445 W Barry recently and the building managers, Alma and Mike, are great! Very friendly and quickly respond to some minor maintenance requests that have come up since I moved in. Overall really liking my experience in this building so far - the only thing I would say that could be improved are updating the Washers and Dryers in the laundry room to take cards instead of quarters and the price is high for laundry compared to other buildings in the area where friends live. Otherwise, great location, great staff, and love my apartment!
Juan Garcia
Building manager Laura was very welcoming to the building. She wanted to meet in person despite my hectic schedule and she even showed me some used furniture that a tenant was giving away for free. The apartment was a bit more expensive than I had wanted, but compared to other buildings the apartments are in good condition, there isn't a smelly laundry facility like other buildings have.
Kayla Boling
I've been living at 505 W Belmont for a year now. Beal was great about getting my application processed super fast and made move in easy with no hidden fees. Gabriella, the building manager, has been super responsive as has the office. When I had concerns about the pilot light on my stove they brought me a brand new unit the next day. This particular building has a slight bug problem but Beal is super on top of it with pest control inspection services. Overall I think Beal is very upfront, communicative, and looks out for its people. I'm renewing my lease another year.
Update May 2020: Beal and Gabriella especially continue to be very responsive through the covid-19 crisis. My building has been kept very clean especially in the lobby and elevator. When I've needed maintenance Gabriella has been quick to help and ensure everyone's safety with sanitation, distancing, and no cross contaminating between units.
Mahdi Hemingway
I want to show my gratitude for all of the hard work my building engineer,Ned, put in to make sure that my move into the building was seamless. After being informed that our original apartment (Apt 1) had been affected by the fire in the garage below, we were a little worried. Often times people have negative experiences with their property manager and/or building engineers. From this recent experience with Ned, that is not the case for us. We believe Ned had a huge part in making us feel comfortable about the alternative apartment (Apt 2). I really appreciate all of the work he put in to make our new apartment presentable. I can't believe he stayed up all night painting and cleaning the apartment for my arrival-- that's amazing! He did a good job selling the benefits of the new apartment to us too. Come to think of it, he did a great job showing us the building during our initial view.
I don't usually do these things, but when someone goes above and beyond I think they should be recognized. It's great to know that people like Ned exist. It restores my faith in the world :-)
Sarah Anzelmo
I love beal properties. I have been with them for 2 years and just now signed at another location where I had the pleasure of meeting Laura Wright who is so sweet and really cares for her building/residents! Looking forward to having her as my building engineer. Danielle from the leasing office is extremely responsive when needed and very helpful. They both made the move in process so quick and easy! Looking forward to another great year.
Alejandro Garcia
I have been with Beal Properties for a little bit more than 2 years( 2 years in my previous apt and 1 month in a new one). And so far the best thing that had happened now that I moved to this new apt is my new building engineer Brendon. He has taken care of the issues I had in a promptly and professional manner. I'm very satisfied with him by doing an outstanding job.
Alison G
I have had nothing but great experiences at Beal Properties since I moved in last year. Barb in the office is so helpful and gets back to you pretty quickly which is very much appreciated. She's been a lifesaver when it comes to applying for units and walked me through my next steps.
Tim is the best building manager ever and he is always willing to help the tenants. When the elevator was temporarily broken, Tim helped to carry groceries and packages for tenants on the top floors. He's always around and easily accessible if you have any problems.
beatbros99
My time living with Beal has been great all things considered.
I am renting a modest studio which has had a handful of quirks and appliance issues while staying there. However Gabriella and the buildings repair team has been quick to respond and has always been timely and transparent with changes to the building. Forma larger building communication has always been timely and personal.
Lauren McLaughlin
Since moving to the Logan Square complex, it has been a professional and positive experience. The building engineer, Vasif, specifically has been such a help to the moving and renting process. His prompt responses, quality assistance and willingness to help when needed is beyond!
Betty Shklover
I live in 555 West Arlington Place building, managed by Tim and he does an absolute amazing job with this building. Our AC broke, I reached out to Tim and he had the AC people come to check it out the same day. With COVID-19, Tim and his helper have been cleaning the building twice a day, making sure everything is sanitary and clean for the residents. I re-signed my lease for another year because of how well this building is taken care of. Tim responds right away and always has a solution for you! Highly recommend living in this building.
Josh Smiertka
Just recently moved into 445 W Wellington and it was an incredibly smooth process. Dennis and Fadila are awesome and have been incredibly helpful getting me all set up here. You can tell they really care about every tenant in the building from how personable they are. Really happy to be here.
Meesan A.
Kristen was such a pleasure to work with. She made the process so easy and I ended up finding an apartment on the first try. I really appreciate that she truly kept in mind what I was looking for, which I think is what made the process such a breeze and to the point. She responded to my emails immediately and was always in communication. Would definitely recommend!
Briget Boyle
Vasif did a superb job fixing a leaking toilet. I noticed a leak, wrote to him, heard back right away, and by the morning he was here to fix it. After checking it out it was clear that the tank needed to be replaced. He went to 3 different stored to look for what was needed to replace the broken part of the toilet, and ended up having to replace the whole unit. I am impressed with his responsiveness and ability to problem solve.
I also want to note that the hallways and building in general always feel so clean here. I really appreciate the care Vasif takes at this apartment building. Thank you Vasif!
Kai Foo
Had a pleasant experience with my building engineer Arnel & Eldisa! Arnel is professional, responsive and nice. He went out of his way to help me put in extra locks on my door, kindly helped me look into my missing packages, and replaced my old and leaky tap at lighting speed. The best building engineer I’ve had at Beal properties so far.
Ninia Linero
Since before my move-in and working with the agent who helped find me my apartment, Beal Properties has been an outstanding management company. The process of my application was quick and communication about everything has always been affective. There were a few minor issues when I moved in, so I reached out to my property manager, Majda, who worked diligently to get them resolved in a very timely manner while updating me each step of the way.
Still to this day, Majda is active and response when I’m in need of any kind of assistance. Being new to the city, I truly appreciate the care they have shown to me as a tenant.
This all being said, I highly recommend Beal Properties and have had a great experience with them.
Nadia Alexandra
Update - we had an issue with Beal for a ComEd bill that we did not incur. We explained to management what happened, but we kept getting charged with the bill. Finally, Jack contacted me after leaving a review about my experience, and he resolved the issue within one day. We are grateful for his help and for other staff members like Crystal and Dominique for their help in the past.
*****
Dominique at Beal was very helpful in getting us approved for a lease on short notice. I will say the building maintenance is not the most responsive and respectful of people's time, but he does do a good job in the actual work he performs. But that is the one complaint I have. Everything works in our building and the laundry room is clean. I am really impressed by how hard Dominique worked to make sure we could move into an apartment on short notice. Thanks!
Justina Pape
My building is always clean and well maintained. Vasif, the building engineer is always incredibly kind, constantly working hard and quick to respond to any maintenance need. Recently 2420 N Kedzie experienced a terrible plumbing problem and he worked endlessly to get the city to solve the problem.
Bryan Wood
I live at 4737 N. Hermitage. We previously had a building manager who did poor work and could not be reached. We were recently given a new building manager named Cornel and he has been much better to deal with. He responded to my texts immediately, set up an appointment time to have repairs done, and got them done in a timely manner. He also went above and beyond to have our smoke detector batteries replaced even though he was in there for a drain issue. Hoping we don't need to utilize his services any more, but it is a good feeling knowing we have a responsive and professional building manager taking care of our unit.
Dragana Savanovic
I recently moved to one of their apartments (445 W Barry ave), and if I am to judge by the application and move in process, this is my new home. The apartment is spacious, and the closet/storage area is out of this world. The building is extremely well maintained, clean, and organized. Alma and Mike, the managers, are friendly, responsive, and the communication has been excellent so far. Being a single woman, I absolutely need a lot of help with the maintenance, and this team provides an excellent service and peace of mind. Definitely 5 stars for this one!
Peter Mark
I'm living and loving it. Beal Properties on Belden Ave is home to me. Great location in a friendly neighborhood with convenient stores, bars and restaurants around. Not to mention you're blocks away from the Lincoln Park Zoo. Shout out to Gazi (Building Engineer) for his attentiveness, professionalism and friendly personality. Thank you!
Rory Cannon
I've lived at 2834 W. Palmer for a few years and their property manager Vasif is the best. Recently, I had an issue with something that needed to be fixed in my bathroom. Not only did Vasif fix it quickly, he also fixed the lights in my kitchen and an outlet cover that had come loose without me even asking. He always responds immediately to emails and any issues are resolved that day. I really appreciate the responsiveness because this has not been my experience with the prior managers of the building or other apartments I've lived in.
Kevin Trinh
From moment I got my keys from Laura, the building engineer, she and Adrian have been absolutely wonderful in making my move into the 625 W Wrightwood Ave property a seamless transition. Laura was very thorough in providing me any information and tips I needed as a new tenant.
They are both very attentive to my comfort and accommodating of any questions I have. I had an issue with my shower shelf and Laura and Adrian responded to my service request very quickly. Always pleasant people to run into!
Brandon Busby
I have not had many issues with Beal Properties, however when I have needed ANYTHING, the maintenance was quick and attentive. I even called to ask what kind of light bulbs were used for my track lighting, and within 15 minutes Vasif stopped by and changed the bulbs with no questions asked. I needed my water pressure checked once, Vasif came over and fixed it within the hour. He is great!
My time as a tenant for Beal Properties has been wonderful and I would highly recommend them to any future renters.
Nikolay Sedletskiy
I've been with Beal Properties since summer 2017. Building that I'm in always clean and engineering team very responsive, have no issues so far. Special thanks to Majda and Jasmine to be able to solve all request fast, responsible and keep building in good condition. Management also very helpful, quickly respond to your questions. I'll keep working with them in the future because of my past and current experience.
Keep improving your services and maintain your buildings. Wish you more and nice tenants. Thank you "Beal Properties Team" for your good work.
Kristin Totel
This is for 2834 W Palmer. I have been here a month and have been nothing but impressed. Moving in and application was smooth and fast which was amazing because I needed to move in quickly last minute. Danielle got me set up and approved and ready in like 3 days. Vasif is the property manager he is always courteous and helpful. The building is kept very clean and in a safe area, the unit I'm in is renovated. It's hard to find studios with a dishwasher AND a microwave, with nice new appliances and fixtures, and hardwood floors. Pricey, but I suppose that comes with reno/location. Neighbors are kind and not noisy. So far so good!
Stephanie Sheard
Needing to relocate to a new state during the pandemic was a little rough, but the Beal Properties team have been nothing but exceptional. Email responses are right away and Zenel-the building engineer answers inquiries, no matter the time- even just to acknowledge and schedule a time to come out and assist. When my heat needed repair, Zenel responded immediately and scheduled a tech to come out within the hour-who fixed the issue right away. From big to minor issues- I receive an immediate response. It's comforting to have such an remarkable property management team who's as attentive, accommodating and professional as this one has been. Thank you for all you do.
Michael Nicoletti
I've recently moved into a Beal Properties apartment. Working with Mina (agent) Majda (admin), and Daniel (engineer) has been a pleasure. They were all pleasant, welcoming, and professional. I did have a minor issue which they were able to resolve with expediency. Mina has been great about helping me with all the details, Majda has been very responsive, and Daniel has been quick to fix things and even gave me the keys a day early so I could start moving some of my stuff. I look forward to living in this apartment and am happy with my choice to move here.
Mike Walburn
746 W Addison
Brian the maintenance technician is very reliable and completes work orders in a timely manner. He truly wants to help you and resolve the problem ASAP.
Also when we had issues with our apartment Ashley the administration property manager was very understanding our circumstances and made sure to take care of us quickly. We had to vacate our apartment while the issue was being fixed but she made sure that my fiancé and our pets had a place to stay. This helped us out a lot since we are new to the area with no family in the city and didn’t know what to do. It’s a great feeling knowing we can turn to them for help.
We couldn’t be more grateful to the two of them for taking such great care of us.
-Mike
Grecia Aguilar
I really like 711 belmont for it's location and cleanliness. I recently had an issue in my apartment and it was fixed within the weekend. Gabriella always responds quickly and seems to really care about the maintenance of the building. Her and her husband make a great team!
Rachel Blakley
Laura, the Building Engineer at 660 W Wrightwood has been fantastic. She helped me through the process of getting my new apartment in the midst of this pandemic. She even allowed me to send things to my apartment early, that way I would have all my stuff before I arrived at the start of my lease. I highly recommend her and this company.
Merjem Dzananovic
Extremely satisfied with Beal Properties!! Worker Gabriella took such amazing care of the building I’ve never seen it so clean and in order. You can tell that she cares so much about the safety and health of her tenants especially with this Virus!! Will be working with her and Beal Properties continuously in the future. Definitely made my families lives so much easier knowing that we’re so well taken care of. Thank you!!
Madeline Marines
We've lived at 555 W Arlington for a year now and just renewed our lease. Tim, the building manager is great! We've had a few bigger issues recently (AC going out, sink leaking) and he always responds right away and fixes the issue quickly. The building, lobby and elevator are always clean and well maintained as well!
Kieran Maloney
So far, my move with Beal Properties has been great. When I sought them out to sign a lease, communication was a bit indirect and unclear. With time I learned the easier ways of doing things, but there was no clear & up front information. But, after my move in, it's been exceptional. Mil & Vasif have been so accommodating to my concerns and quick to set me up with a repair when the bathtub needed refinishing upon my arrival. The unit is great and the complex is well maintained.
Luis Medina
I couldn’t have asked for a better move-in experience. My building engineer, Vasif, was extremely responsive and made sure I had everything I needed for an effortless move-in. Additionally, he has fulfilled every single one of my maintenance requests in an efficient and timely manner.
Allison Parker (Allison Parker Yoga)
The whole team with Beal Properties, specifically Mil, Christy & Jacky, made finding my new apartment a breeze. Definitely one of the best property companies I have worked with in the city of Chicago!
Masha Bekker
Eddie from Beal Properties was an incredibly helpful and patient person to work with. The apartment I rented from Beal is perfect for my needs and is very affordable, and everyone I interacted with throughout the process was extremely helpful. Eddie in particular bore with me through every question and countless emails. I would definitely rent from Beal again.
Kandis Rockwell
I've been living at 445 w. Barry ave for a little over a year now and it has been rough until recently. I've dealt with flooding/plumbing issues/and rodents. But our new maintenance crew Alma and mike are amazing they assist immediately with any issue the building smells so much better and they really care about the tenants happiness. They have been so awesome
Sanket Wagh
I live at one of the properties managed by Beal Properties, specifically whose building engineer is Tim. He is always very responsive and direct with his answers and help. If anything goes down and you ask for a repair at the appropriate time, it will be guaranteed to be repaired efficiently. The building itself is very well maintained and very clean. Over all I feel the building excellent only because of Tim and his excellent work ethic. I would highly recommend Beal Properties especially if the building manager is Tim.
Samantha Sullivan
My boyfriend and I have lived at 625 W Wrightwood for two years. We have had our ups and downs with Beal. We almost didn't renew our lease, however, Laura and Adrian became our building managers and we are happy we stayed! They are dedicated to making sure the building is in the best condition and that their tenants are happy. They are both very nice and take great pride in their building. They have done such a great job over the past few months. Thank you Laura and Adrian!

Such a great experience with the building engineer at the property I live at. Vasif came over on a Saturday to take a look at the building because I wasn't getting any water in my apartment. Turns out the pipes had frozen while I was gone for a couple days. While we waited for them to defrost he fixed a rusty sink handle and changed some of my lightbulbs! I appreciate the quick assistance especially on a weekend.

My five stars goes to my property manager Gabriella on her hard work ! Always professional and keeps up the good work even through construction currently happening in the building!! Gabriella always responds in a fast and friendly manner. ❤️❤️

My time staying with Beal has been good
I live in a small studio apartment and there has been some small appliance breaks and quirks, and Gabriella and the repair team have done a great job at responding to everything and being clear and open with communication.
Update: Roach infested apartment with the worst paint job known to man. At least they sprayed it once a month

I recently moved into 510 W Briar and couldn't be happier with the entire process thus far - from application/lease execution, to move-in and minor repairs. I was moving from a "luxury" building downtown and was nervous about moving to an older, more budget-friendly building. However, the nerves were short lived as I worked my way through the move-in process. My lease execution to move-in time frame was extremely short (signed my lease Thursday for a Monday move) but the wonderful staff at the Beal corporate offices were very responsive with my questions and turned all documentation around immediately. On move-in day, I met with my building engineer, Jasmin, to get keys and a quick building orientation. He was extremely friendly and showed me the ropes. After he had left, I noticed a few typical things that needed to be addressed - gas to stove off, missing light bulb, small leak in sink fixture- and he was back before I knew it to fix everything, even replacing the leaky fixture with a brand new one. In the time since, I have seen Jasmin around the building frequently and can tell he is the reason the building, although older, is kept as clean and functioning as it is.
Again, couldn't be happier with my Beal and 510 experience!

I live at 660 Wrightwood and have seen so many great changes to the building since Laura started as the new building manager. They keep the building clean, have done some nice updates, and respond to maintenance requests very quickly. Within 24 hours of me notifying them of some problems they had them all fixed. Really appreciate the hard work of Laura and Adrian.
In another incident, I had a problem at 11pm at night and Laura and Adrian were kind enough to come and help me out at such a late hour. I really appreciate how caring and hard working they both are for us.

I just moved into 445 W. Barry and so far my experience has been nothing but pleasant. The building is well kept and Alma and Mike, the building managers, are really nice, helpful, and informative! This made my move-in easy and they answered any questions I had. The apartment was clean and ready for me when I arrived and I couldn't be happier with my new apartment.

Most of the issues I addressed to the Manager and Building technician have been resolved within an acceptable time-frame. I understand some issues take longer to resolve than others and I think some tenants don't give the property managers time to get them resolved. I recently woke up with my heat not functioning. I reached out to Julia (Building Engineer) and Dani (property manager); they resolved the issue within hours. There will always be small issues on an older property but nothing major. 3827 N Fremont is a great property live on with a great managerial team. Julia's husband does a great job fixing most issues and does it with attention to details.

Jasmin, the building engineer at Melrose Apartments is awesome! His turnaround time for a maintenance request is ALWAYS less than 24 hours. He even installed in AC unit for me! I notified him about a small leak in my bathroom sink and I cam home to find a brand new faucet. Thanks for all that you do to keep our building clean and in top shape, Jasmin!

Hello everyone...in this new normal of finding a new affordable apartment, I need to recommend Gabrielle at Beal properties. She was extremely prompt, informative, supportive and tentative to my needs. During this stressful time, I'm very fortunate to have had Gabrielle get me in my preferred unit ASAP. Furthermore, the Beal team ( Danielle, Bree and Mil) were outstanding as well, ensuring everything went well to expedite my experience. Thank you kindly...
