The Emerson
1135 Westgate St, Oak Park, Chicago 60301
The Emerson sits right in the heart of downtown Oak Park, which makes it one of the easiest spots around for getting into the city without dealing with a car. The Harlem/Lake stop is just three minutes away, so the Green Line into the Loop is basically your front yard, and there's a Whole Foods just five minutes off for your weekly run. On the everyday-life side, you can grab coffee at Wise Cup in five minutes, walk over to Beer Shop when you want a drink, and Cummings Square is about six minutes off for poking around the neighborhood.

I’d like to draw attention to Eric Gallegos who works in Maintenance at the Emerson. Simply fantastic. He’s saved the day on more than one occasion. Always cheerful and on the ball. And gets it done. Note: my name is Omar R and I’m a current resident at the Emerson.
We moved away about a year ago, but we still remember this apartment community with so much warmth! …
The maintenance staff go the extra mile to assist residents, particularly Erik and Santiago. I lost my keys in the trash chute on a Sunday morning and we were on the way to a family vacation. I was so upset and thought that my carelessness …

One of the two elevators has been out of service more than 50% of the time i have lived here. …
