Good job to the police. The have been diverting a tremendous amount of resources towards the BS at Sullivan.

Craig, I apologize for using such derragory terms towards African Americans. I am glad you do not permit this slander on your website. Hope you're doing well. And by the way.. I am sorry but that is very funny about the transexual.

aja88~ If you will search this blog for 'new reside on morse' you'll get a good idea about that area.

I've received dozens of emails asking the same question.

My answer to all of them. Give them a try.

'Reside on Morse' seems to be doing a good job with the property since the child labor episode and I'm impressed.

I hear they are a tad expensive though.

I would recommend asking to 'Reside on the Lunt' side. It's a bit more quiet.

i walk by that building all the time with my dogs - it looks fine - there is usually a security guard in the front of the building. i'm hoping a lot of the people that just "hang out" with no worthwhile mission will move on down the street as it gets cleaned up.

The more decent folks that move in, the better it gets

What does that have to do with anything? Do you think white people should keep African Americans out of predominately white neighborhoods? By in large, it is a very small minority of people who are causing the most trouble... race has nothing to do with it.

Ajz, if you are going to be at Truman why don't you move to Uptown?

AJZ88, don't pay attention to the numerous alarmists that post on this website. It is true that like other areas of the city we have our share of issues, but I think weighing the pros and cons you'll find that this is a decent area to live in. For what I pay for a nice, renovated 1 bedroom apartment up here I would be paying a good $300 more a month in rent in Lakeview/Lincoln Park. As long as you use common sense you should be fairly safe...I had more scary incidents happen to me living in Lakeview than I have had in Rogers Park.

I moved here from Nebraska 3 years ago and I used to live in a rougher neighborhood of Lincoln, NE than Rogers Park. So far my husband and I are happy with our decision to move to this area and we plan on staying here for the next several years.

ajz88...try looking on one of the side streets off Morse. There are a ton of great apartments for rent if you just walk around and look. We live off of Pratt, and couldn't be happier with our neighborhood.

i went to reside on morse yesterday,the apartments are very nice but the building still has a lot to finish. i would be living in the lunt side building. the area was a lot nicer than i had imagined it to be. im from a small farm town by rockford so i guess i am going from one extreme to the other but i cant wait. i love the city =)

Welcome ajz88!! Hope all goes well. I did notice a great deal of studios at Reside and wondered that they were marketing heavily to students.
