Advice on Studio in Lake View / Lincoln Park

I was searching for studios on craigslist, trulia, apartments.com, etc. and one I found was 837 W Wolfram. The listing made it seem like a good place but I noticed that there are a lot of units available in that building. Should I take this as a bad sign? I wont have much free time to visit a lot of apartments in person.

This is managed by Beal Properties. I live in one of their buildings and the law firm I work for does the property tax appeals for their buildings. I know they have recently renovated a lot of their buildings, so there have been a lot of available units. My building had a ton of available units when I was looking for places and then they were gone before I even had the chance to apply. I wouldn't take this as a bad sign.
