The Lydian
513 S Damen Ave, Medical District, Chicago 60612
The Lydian is a modern, naturally lit building in the Illinois Medical District, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a rooftop that does a lot of heavy lifting: a rooftop pool plus indoor and outdoor lounge space, a fitness center with a separate private studio, and a coworking area with real workstations if you work from home. Units come with quartz counters, LG stainless appliances, wood plank floors, and your own in-home washer and dryer, and there's a pet wash station and EV charging downstairs. You can grab coffee at the Starbucks 5 minutes away or walk to IMD Park in 3, and the United Center is about a 15-minute stroll for games and shows. The Illinois Medical District CTA stop is right at your door (5 minutes), and the nearest big grocery run is the Jewel-Osco about 24 minutes off.

on Google MapsWe’ve been at the Lydian for over 2 years now and the service and management has gone downhill drastically, enough that I would NOT recommend this building to anyone. …
Jayleen has been so amazing to work with! We've requested so many accommodations, and each time, she's been so patient with us in finding an apartment that we love. We truly appreciate her and are excited for the move here.
