Reliable

The staff are extremely responsive and all maintenance requests we have had were answered same day. The gym is beautiful and there is a community printer which is free. Very easy to take the 172 or shuttles to school. Everyone in the building is extremely friendly. One thing that may bother people is the smell is quite bad when people leave the trash chute open which is very often.

HPT is great!

I love living at HPT, management is extremely responsive and fast about fixing any issues. There is communal laundry, but I have never had any issues and am always able to find an open machine. Packages are secure and I am never worried about anything being stolen. The doormen are extremely friendly, and in my experience, all residents are considerate and cordial with one another.

Would recommend

This is a great apartment. Very reasonable rent for a safe building. A lot of the apartments overlook the water. Management is very responsive and usually fixes things day of.

HPT Review

I really like living at HPT (I previously lived at the Shoreland). The Shoreland was great but got too expensive for me. At HPT, I still feel very close to the lake, which I value. The door staff is great, and I feel very safe. I like that there is in-building parking ($200 extra/month). The workout room doesn't have a ton of equipment, which is fine because I mostly use the elliptical/treadmill - it is on the 20th floor and has an amazing lake view. No in unit laundry if that matters to you. I also can unlock my door from an app which is nice (keypad, no physical key). I love that it is such a short walk to the metro and that there are law school bus stops on both ends of the block.

Near Regents, but a better option

Rather than bunking up with the rest of the law school at Regents, my roommates and I opted for this nearby 22-story apartment building. Hyde Park Tower's 3-bedroom apartments have big windows and a great view of the lake. The gym had everything I needed and was open 24/7. If you're looking for a high-rise apartment in the vicinity of 53rd, I think this is the best option.

It's ok for 1L

Wouldn't have picked another building in Hyde Park for 1L, but it's not my favorite. Will probably move out of Hyde Park next year.

I prioritized living close to the law school in an area with restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. 5252 offered all these things. I can also easily walk my dogs to the lake from my building.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Comfortable and walkable, decent selection of amenities (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) and close to the lakefront. Not much nightlife
Reviewed by Chicago-Kent Law Student living at The Shoreland
Hyde Park is a fantastic place to live. My girlfriend and I see ourselves staying there for a long time.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at City Hyde Park
Great neighborhood close to the school. Many students live here, which is good for social events.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 5337 S Hyde Park Blvd
Hyde Park is a pretty place, very lowkey though. Not much going on (few bars & restaurants). A bit far from other happening neighborhoods in Chicago. There are crime issues (cars broken in, muggings) but not horrible--just have to be vigilant about avoiding risky situations.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Hyde Park is quiet and feels a bit more like a neighborhood, but it is easy to get downtown via the CTA buses or the Metra Electric. The neighborhood itself has some nice cafes and things, but there is less to do outside the school
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at East Park Tower
Hyde Park is the BEST. It's beautiful, active community of people who just really care about the neighborhood. I feel safer living in Hyde Park than any other neighborhood I've lived in Chicago (Lakeview, Logan, Wicker) because the people who live in HP have done so deliberately; they came here either due to the University or simply a desire to live here, which means people say hi on the street, strike up conversations in grocery lines, remember you when you see them at brunch, etc. That being said, I wouldn't recommend it for people who want to be in the middle of the action (the Loop). I chose HP because I have no patience for the bustle....and because it's way cheaper. My apartment would rent for twice as much if it were near MPP.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 5434 South Woodlawn Ave
I don't get why people dislike Hyde Park so much. Although, to be fair, I do not go out much and when I do, I have a car. But, I really like being able to walk to school everyday rather than have to commute. Plenty of grocery options, especially now that trader joe's is open. Decent number of restaurants around and they're good; nothing spectacular. As for safety, be aware and don't walk by yourself at 2am; use common sense and you'll be fine.
