A Good Value For Those Willing to Share

Regents is a known entity, with a lot of value for those able to share a two-bedroom apartment. The upsides are plentiful, with lots of other law students nearby and conveniently located public transportation. Slightly more expensive in general than other Hyde Park accommodations.

Convenient but not great

Convenient but not great. The building is too expensive and there are better options out there. Management is not great either.

Not a bad option

Regents is a good place to consider if you are looking for convenience, superior access to public transportation, and the opportunity to be close to law school friends. Try to get a place early in the summer if you want a great view of the sky line and the lake. The views and the friendliness of the residents are Regents' major selling points.

The downsides are that it smells like pot in the hallways a non-negligible amount of the time and things seem to break frequently, like the elevators, the treadmills, and the gates in the parking lot. In-unit maintenance is pretty good though.

Very convenient and lots of amenities

Love that there's a mini market in the building and a grill (that even delivers)! Love the 24 hour doorman service as well. Feels very safe.

Infested

We got both cockroaches and bed bugs. The management team was completely unhelpful and inconsiderate. We got no refund even though we had to move out early. The worst experience of my life.

Regents Park

Regents Park has been a perfectly fine place to live; the apartment is spacious, the gym is fine (if not "amazing"), the management has always been responsive, and the 172 makes going to the Law School very convenient.

Regents Park - decent place if you can't come to research other places

Due to living abroad, I didn't have the chance to scope out housing in Hyde Park prior to law school. I chose Regents Park because it seemed to be the "safe" option all-around. Basically, it is fine. There is easy access to school via the 172 and downtown via the 6 bus. The apartment has lots of windows and storage, and is a decent size and layout. As a couple, we don't feel cramped in the studio. The gym is nice, although better for cardio than weights. I like living near other law students. What makes me hesitate from being completely satisfied with my living arrangement is that I feel with some effort one could find a 1 bedroom with comparable kitchen/bath quality at a smaller building for the same price elsewhere as the studio in Regents Park.

Regents Park has been great!

Amazing place: Great view of the lake; cheap rent for the amenities; right by the bus stop; indoor pool/jacuzzi/grill; gym; mailroom/drycleaners. Highly recommend.

Management is awful

The management at Regents is awful and they should all lose their jobs. They are slow to respond, disrespectful, and incompetent. These are not people who should be working in the customer service industry. The building is aging and although the maintenance staff is great, there are simply too many issues that need to be dealt with. Further, MAC's goal is obviously to put as little money as possible into Regents. Multiple machines in the gym have broken and never been replaced, the washers have all been out of service more than once, the elevators regularly don't work, etc.

Kenwood Reviews

89 reviews
I love living near the university. I think it is very convenient for attending UChicago events. Most of our class lives here, so it makes it very easy for reunions and parties. I take the bus to the loop on the weekends. Living here does not mean you can't experience the loop fun. But people that live in the Loop usually don't come to our class parties because it is far away.
Hyde Park is a great neighborhood, especially for 1L year. There is plenty to do with new bars and restaurants -- and grocery stores, like Trader Joes -- coming in every year. While it's not as "happening" as the Loop or River North, for example, it's nice to be near the Law School as a 1L and most of your classmates will be in Hyde Park as well. I've lived in Hyde Park for 6 years now and can attest that it is very walkable and very safe, and it has a nice neighborhood feel that you don't get as much in the Loop or Loop-adjacent neighborhoods.
Pretty close to campus, about a 10 minute drive/bike ride. Seems safe, at least east of MLK Blvd. Pretty quiet overall, Maple Court is right next to an elementary school so there is some noise in the morning and when the kids are at recess. Hyde Park Produce is walkable, but not super close. Whole Foods is opening up at Lake Park around 51st/Hyde Park Blvd. soon. Large shopping area at 47th and Lake Park with Walgreens and Subway. Mostly fast food on 47th St. No bars, coffee shops, or anywhere nearby to hang out.
Hyde Park is extremely boring. I live here because the school is here and the commute is easy. There are very few good restaurants and no nightlife whatsoever. Luckily, getting downtown is cheap and easy. I've never felt unsafe during the daytime, but I certainly don't go walking around at night.
The neighborhood feels safe overall, as I live right on the border with Hyde Park. There is a dearth of businesses (stores, restaurants, bars) in the area, but that is true for all of Hyde Park. Proximity to the Law School is the best part of where I live.
My building is a 5 min walk to Whole Foods and 12 min walk to Target. Hyde Park is getting more restaurants and bars, but I wish there were better options. It is nice to be close to my friends and close to campus though.
It's a cute neighborhood, lots of young professionals, beautiful architecture, close proximity to school and super close to the city. Downside is few good food options and can get boring. But I love the free bus!
I've been a Chicago resident for most of my life, and I can safely say this is one of my favorite places to live. It's affordable and enjoyable.
