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.

Resident reviews
on Google Mapsbuilding constantly has problems with the elevators, there is only 2 elevators, and one of them has been out of service for over a year with no resolution. Wait times for the single working elevator is long, and makes daily living inconvenient.
Elevators have issues. If you have any mobility challenges, do NOT live here. One functioning elevator for almost a year on a 20 story building is pathetic. There have been numerous times in the last month including twice in 48 hours when …

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.
