Close, decent

One bedroom is spacious and located at the end of the building so separated from hallway noise. Clean, no pests. Occasional minor maintenance issues, it's an old building, but fairly responsive. Only one dryer (in the basement) works well. Large elevator has been out for several months, and small elevator occasionally gets stuck, so better to use stairs.

Old building, QOL issues

The apartment is old and has constant minor to major issues. The elevators (all of them) kept breaking down, the hot water stopped working, the drains keep getting clogged. The apartment is close to the Law School which is a plus and is otherwise relatively cozy (when things are working properly).

Close to campus and cheap

While the Plaisance is certainly not a luxury experience, the proximity to the law school and the price are hard to beat. Additionally, the property management is usually pretty on top of any requests and maintenance. The only issue is that the elevators are a little old, so they are often out of order.

Bang for your buck

The Plaisance isn't fancy at all but it's right next to the law school and has everything you need for a good price. This is not luxury living, but it's a solid building with responsive management and a good community.

Plaisance

Near school, good space. Some amenities are old and sometimes need repair (elevators, washer/dryers). Overall, it’s okay.

Honest Assessment

The building location is great for law school. Easy commute through all weather conditions. The apartment building, however, emanates knocking noises from the heating furnaces of the apartment. Additionally, maintenance is incompetent and/or lazy. Perks of the apartments here are they are carpeted, have many appliances, and are close to campus security

Super cheap! Ample parking. Easy to negotiate or bargain with landlord. Campus and cafeteria is walking distance. The area is transitioning, so there's a lot of construction on my block. Living in the area does require you to exercise common sense. Grocery store is far away, but whole foods delivers for free, so it doesn't really matter.

Obviously Hyde Park is close to campus, which is the biggest plus. It is campus. Security staff stands on corners at night keeping an eye on everything, and compared to my hometown, I feel safer here. It is frustrating that the grocery stores are not cheap (I use Instacart to have things delivered from Costco or Jewel), and I find that a lot of law students want to hang out downtown or in the Loop, which can be costly and burdensome to navigate if that's not already where you were headed.

I feel very safe in this neighborhood. As a white, young, female, I am always cautious when I am out - in any neighborhood. In Woodlawn, I also practice awareness, but I feel comfortable walking alone, running alone, using public transit, etc.

Woodlawn is fine as long as you are far north in Woodlawn, close to the start of Hyde Park. I've never had any issues.

Very close to law school (approx. 200m). Located just south of 61st St, in what was traditionally a less safe area. There seems to be a lot of investment coming in now and it's rapidly improving, and UChicago Police regularly patrol around or nearby. More shops are also coming into the area, e.g. the Jewel-Osco at the corner of 61st St and S Cottage Grove Ave. Churches are also getting renovated in the area.

It might not be the most social area, but it's not a bad place to live.

They're building a supermarket down the street, so it won't be a food desert anymore. But I had my external spare tire stolen from my car, so it's not the safest.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 6106 S University Ave
A few blocks further south, the neighborhood feels less safe. But this apartment feels very safe because it is across the street from the university (and there is a police officer stationed most evenings). There aren't many nearby bars or restaurants, but the green line is only 10 minutes away.

Not much to do if you are a social person, but excellent in almost everything else.
