It looks like we don't have a specific address for K2 Apartments, which makes giving directions tricky. This business might not have an official storefront, or it might move to multiple locations throughout the day.

Recommended Reviews

I ve been living at K2 for about 3 months and in that time, I ve seen and heard a lot; enough to write a review. Like most people, this is a pretty awesome place to live. New building, young tenants, great amenities. I fell in love with the building as soon as I saw it. I ve heard from most people, myself included, that they applied to live here the moment they saw it. (I never do that). K2 is totally worth it.

Pros: (1) Great location, (2) friendly and helpful front desk staff,(3) If you are a dog lover, you will be in heaven (4) Jewel-Osco connected to the building, (5) Decent gym-i canceled my gym membership because it has what I need. Weights, Cardio, and some machines.(6) Pool-just opened. it s nice for the most part but I will tell you my issues with it in the next section, (7) new everything in your unit, (8) Awesome views-If you can afford to live on a higher floor, the views are worth the extra cost. (9) I love that they offer key-card access to unit; just like a hotel. Meaning you don t have to carry keys..Just your RFID card. I am spoiled and want every building to have that. (10) Zip car in the building. one one car so good luck trying to reserve it. (11) Much to my surprise, they just gave residents the ability to buy parking passes on their own. Huge time saver. Before that, you had to wait for the VERY VERY Part-time operator of the parking garage to be in to get passes. Better late than never.

Cons: Nothing is perfect, including K2. From what I hear, they just changed management company s so I am sure many of the issues/challenges we all have will be addressed and fixed under the new owners/management company(1) The elevators are a huge headache. Currently, one is out of service and it causes delays but even when it was working, the elevators moved at a glacial pace. K2 really needs to examine their elevator management system. There is no reason why I am waiting to to go up and their are two elevators that say they are on the lobby, but I have to wait for one to come from the 25 floor. Really. Why can t one of the ones that are on the lobby floor open. You need to add elevator wait times to your morning commute. (2) K2 is a secured access building, which I love.  It s strange to me, however, that my key card is only programmed for my floor; meaning I can t move about the building without taking the stairs or waiting for my friends to come down to the lobby and get me. I get that the building can argue that s for security, but the fact that they give vendors and delivery drivers (strangers who haven t had a background check like tenants) unrestricted access to the building invalidates that argument. Very backwards. (3) The walls are very thin. No insulation at all. You can hear what your neighbors are watching and doing! Literally! (4) Parking is available in the building for a very steep cost and it s not private; it s public. I wonder how much of the public actually use it. (5) I am a dog lover and this is a dog lovers paradise but sometimes it can get a little out of hand. Some people are terrible pet owners. I can t tell you how many times I walk out the lower lobby level and met by the terrible stench of pea and dog poo. Come on people, curb your dog. There are two dog parks/runs. One is owned by the building and the other the city. Both are pretty disgusting..The building owned smells terrible and is like a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria and the city owned is nothing more than a muddy/dirt patch. (6)The pool is pretty awesome but good luck getting to jacuzzi. Get to the jacuzzi early if you want to get it. It will, however, be interesting to see how everyone acts once the weather get hotter. (7) I wish the thermostats in the unit were easily replaceable. I have used NEST for a while to control from my smart phone but oh well. Gotta give up something right? (8) The building has a lot of rules, which is not a bad thing, but they don t have a resident manual or guide so new residents know what to do and what not to do. All they have to do write up a handbook and post it to the resident portal and done. When I asked how do I know what to do and rules, they told me to call the front desk. I don t want to call the front desk every times I have a question. (9)The company they have to manage cable and internet is a joke!  Their customer service is average, at best, and their billing system is spotty. To be clear, the building offers free internet and cable but if you want more options you have to pay.

Overall, I like living here. Like I said no building is perfect but if management addresses some of the consistent things many residents ask for/complain about, yelp reviews will get better and better.
