Hands down, no questions asked, Ardmore-Winthrop is one of the BEST management companies I have EVER rented from. Typically I am not one to award 5 stars on a regular basis via Yelp, but they have earned every single star.
This company takes the time to genuinely get to know you and your individual needs then match you with the best apartment they have available. I came to them last August (2011) and from the moment I stepped into the office I felt welcome. With them you do not have a feeling of just being a client, you have a feeling of being a member of a wonderful family.
All of the Ardmore-Winthrop buildings reflect the immense pride they take in their company as they are all neat and well kept by an outstanding staff. Maintenance requests are handled promptly and professionally given the years of knowledge and experience their maintenance staff has.
Looking for a studio? 1-br? 2-br? Ardmore-Winthrop has a wide array of different floor plans to choose from that can accommodate your budget and space needs. Worried about having a personal package delivered? No problem! The office personally will receive and store your package in a safe and secure location until you are ready to pick it up.
Overall words cannot describe how happy I am with this company and I would highly recommend checking them out if you are in the market to rent a great property in the the ever fabulous Edgewater neighborhood. (Oh, and did I mention, most of their properties are just a couple blocks to the beach?)
Cheers my fellow Yelpers! -

Yeah, me again, but I've been living in one of their properties for almost four years, so I guess I've got a lot to say.
Latest moment of greatness: I ordered expensive electronics from Circuit City, via Amazon, and paid for expedited delivery to my job. Instead, a courier delivered the package to my billing address in the Ardmore Winthrop property, and LEFT THE BOX ON THE FLOOR IN AN UNSECURED LOCATION. Just left it there. Because what you do when you call someone and they aren't home to receive their expensive new laptop is DROP IT ON THE FLOOR IN THE LOBBY AND PEACE OUT. Christ on a cracker. I happened to call the missed number back and spoke with the driver, which is the only reason I even knew it had been delivered. In a panic, I called the good folks of AW, conveniently located across the street, blurted something along the lines of "please...laptop...floor!" and it is now safely in their hands.
God bless them, I swear this is the best management company in the city. I freaking love these guys.3 Previous Reviews: Show all »

BEST. APARTMENT MANAGEMENT. EVER !!!!
Its officially six months since I have moved into a Ardmore Winthrop apartment. I found them via Yelp and its great review. Once I viewed a unit, I was sold, mostly because I could tell that the area was safe and the building is well kept.
Six months later, I can tell you it's the best decision I was ever led to make. The management runs the apartment I live in with true honestly, transparently and commitment to community. Management is always communication with residents on what they are going to do (with timely notice), and they want to do, and when via signage around the building or emails. I feel comfortable calling them about anything and everything, because I have witness timely responses. I remember when I viewed the place with Andy and asked him about bedbugs, he was so honest in his response about the research I had done, the fact it did occur once (at most 1 year ago) and how they as management were dealing with it. I was so impressed that he did not try to hide this issue that many apartments were dealing with. By the way, I have never seen a bedbug or any other insect especially fruit flies, which were my fault. They spray monthly like clockwork.
Management appear to know who I am every time I interact with them. In addition, my hubby who lives in Indy is around about twice a month and they also make him feel like a valued resident. I have received a birthday and Christmas card, both with stamps even thought they could have placed this in my mailbox or under my door. They are also willing and open to receive feedback about the unit. Questions posed to them are always answered. Staff is friendly and most of them live in buildings owned by Ardmore Winthrop. My favorite person on staff is Mike, who is an angel. He had helped me bring in my bed when I trying to do so by myself. He has jumped my car when I was all alone getting ready to go to work. And when something needs to be fixed in my unit, I can count on him to have produce a solution that is quality, lasting, and timely. Rosa and Mike also keeps the place very clean. Never have I seen any inside community spaces unkempt, nor is the outside not maintained. When I see both Mike, Rosa, or other maintenance persons, they are working for the building...not talking or smoking the day away, but working. I thank them so much for that.
Everyone that comes visits me loves my space for the money. All utilities are included in my unit, which is a plus. Rent is reasonable, if not under the average for the space, locations, and A+ service from management.
I have lived in many apartments for rent before and this is the best management yet! I really enjoy living in Ardmore Winthrop properties and would have it no other way in Chicago.Listed in: Da' Edge

I have been with Ardmore Winthrop for over two years now and couldn't be happier with my decision. They are so attentive and make you feel like you are part of the family. They can be reached anytime of the day or night if you have a concern or problem and rental rates are more than fair for the neighborhood. All in all a fantastic place to live!

Full disclosure: I'm a real property litigation attorney. I sue landlords for a living. I also sue bad tenants. I NEVER have good things to say about landlords.... or tenants, for that matter. But I have lived in one of the A-W buildings for the past several years and have LOVED every minute of it. In fact, I'm moving within the building this year to get a new space but refuse to leave them because they are so awesome.
Prompt responses to calls, maintenance requests are a snap, friendly staff and they even love my dog. An amazing group of people running a fantastic set of properties. -

I never thought I'd be in a position to write favorable reviews about an apartment management company, but here it is. I've been living here nearly six months now and I've never been so happy and comfortable in an apartment building in Chicago!
The building is charming, well-kept and affordable. The office staff who work downstairs have been so helpful and accommodating - something of utmost importance for a woman living alone. They're always there to sign for packages and if a package is too heavy for you to move on your own, they'll gladly slip it into your apartment for you. Going on a trip? Leave your details with them and everything will be taken care of upon your return. Maintenance has been helpful and prompt. The cleaning staff always seem to be bustling about tidying but are never too busy to say hello.
Sometimes, it's the small things that make it feel like home, like how they decorate the lobbies for holidays and leave candy out for Valentine's Day and Easter. Everyone here knows my name and I've never felt so welcomed in an apartment building. I will be so sad to leave when the time comes. Can't recommend them enough! -

I have lived in one of the Ardmore Winthrop Properties for two years. It's been the best apartment experience I've ever had. The apartment is beautiful. My roommate and I love our huge 2 bedroom so much that we often joke we'll have to have a duel to decide who gets to keep the apartment when we no longer want to live together.
Not only does Ardmore Winthrop have beautiful apartments, but the management company is fantastic. They couldn't be more friendly. It's obvious they take great care and pride in their buildings. They are very responsive to tenants' needs. Basically, they're perfect.
I will be moving soon because I'm ready to live on my own. Ardmore Winthrop tried really hard to accommodate my needs and find me a 1 bedroom in the same building, but they just didn't have anything opening up. Their tenants tend to stay for a long time (another indication of how wonderful the apartments and management company are!). If things don't work out at my new place, I will definitely be coming back to Ardmore Winthrop!
I really can't say enough wonderful things about them, and I give Ardmore Winthrop Properties my highest recommendation! -

I say with a heavy heart that I am moving out of my Ardmore Winthrop apartment. It has nothing to do with the apartment or the owners, it's simply because I'm moving to another neighborhood. Matter of fact, if Ardmore Winthrop had buildings in the neighborhood I'm moving to, they'd never be rid of me!
So I figured I'd bid adieu to this place by giving it yet another 5-star rating and a big thank you for 3 wonderful years. Ardmore Winthrop is as prompt, attentive, and friendly as they were three years ago when I moved here. Anyone looking to rent in Edgewater would not go wrong with them!
If I ever find myself wanting to move back to the area, I already know who I'm calling.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I've only been renting from Ardmore Winthrop for a few months, but I can't say enough complimentary things about this company. Everyone who works here, from the office staff to the building maintenance people, has been endlessly helpful and accommodating. They are the best rental company I've ever dealt with - no question.
I live in their Hollywood Beach building - probably the ugliest of Ardmore Winthrop's properties (it was built in the 70s, whereas many of their other buildings are lovely vintage structures), but it's very well-maintained, and the apartment itself is great. Rent is reasonable for the neighborhood and includes all utilities except for electricity. There's also parking in the basement for a not-too-high monthly fee (it's worth it to avoid street cleaning!). They even have another garage a block over with plenty of extra spaces for out-of-town guests.
Other great things about Ardmore Winthrop: they are incredibly reasonable about issues which can often be problematic with other rental companies. For example, my partner and I were both unemployed when we moved in, but they didn't make us have a co-signer on our lease. Also, we have two cats, and we didn't have to pay any kind of pet deposit. Overall, they are respectful and understanding and always treat their tenants like human beings.
I have to give special thanks to the building manager, Mike, who is *amazing* - when we moved in, we had a terrible time getting our moving truck out of the alley behind the building thanks to our utter lack of Chicago driving skills. So Mike actually helped us *drive our truck* back to the rental drop off place, and then had one of his maintenance guys provide a ride home. On a Sunday evening, no less. Talk about going above and beyond!
I can't recommend Ardmore Winthrop highly enough, and I'm looking forward to continuing to rent from them for the foreseeable future. -

This is the third apartment I have rented in Chicago. I love the management they are always responsive and polite in their dealings with the tenants. The maintenance staff is quick to fix any problems you have. The apartments are clean and best of all the normal utilities (electricity, gas etc.) are included in your rent. The prices are decent for what you get. I have lived here now for almost two years and I will continue to rent here until I run out of space. The management owns several apartments in the area so if this building doesn't have what you are looking for there are lots of choices.

I have lived in two of Ardmore Winthrop's many properties over the past two years. I have loved both very much, and miss living there! The management is wonderful, and actually gets to know you and help you out with your questions or concerns on a timely manner. Parking in the area isn't great for street parking, yet they do offer garage or alley parking for a extra charge. Most apartments have most the utilities included which helps a lot! The maintenance crew is always friendly and helps resolve any issues as soon as they can. You won't go wrong renting with them!!

having lived in six different apartments in as many years in chicago, i can say a landlord that pays attention to his or her tenants is probably as valuable an amenity as you can have - much more so than any dishwasher or parking space or in-unit laundry facility. AWP is honest, attentive, friendly and professional. the buildings are well-kempt and affordable. the staff is accommodating. i would and have recommend these guys to anyone looking for a place in edgewater.

Ardmore Winthrop Properties is the best!
Ive been with them through 2 apartments now and plan on staying with them for as long as I rent. The management is friendly and attentive. The maintenance crew is reliable and very helpful.
The buildings are clean,safe,attractive, and fairly priced.
Above and beyond five stars! -

I've lived in 4 different Chicago apartments, all under different management companies. AWP was *by far* the best! Usually tussling with landlords is a nightmare, but the ladies in the main office couldn't have been more professional, friendly, or helpful. Even though I had to break my lease 2 months early, they bent over backwards to make the process as easy as possible. My studio was beautifully restored from the 1920's, immaculately clean but with all the great architectural details preserved. Even the maintenance staff was on top of their game. I think it really says a lot that with all of the negative reviews other management companies in the city receive, everyone has such positive feedback on Ardmore Winthrop. I needed to move closer to the city for work, but if AWP had buildings in Lincoln Park or Lakeview, I would absolutely work with them again!!

My fiance and I stayed in the 5752 building. It's well-built with hardwood floors and has a nice shared patio in the back. The location is great; it's within two blocks of the red line and the 147 LSD express bus. Management, however, is inept. We were charged the wrong amount more than once and it took a couple of months to resolve each issue. Maintenance was occasionally unresponsive, even refusing to service one request, presumably because they were too busy. We broke lease.

The management is amazing, organized, and very helpful. If there is ever a problem (which is rare) they respond quickly and in a friendly manner. The maintenance crew goes above and beyond what is expected and I absolutely love this place! I highly recommend it!
