Nice building but very old. Package room is a disaster.

It's Very Convenient and Somewhat Overpriced

Regents is incredibly convenient because it is the first stop for the 172 meaning you can always get a spot on the bus and it is quick to get to and from the law school. Nothing about it is particularly special but I have found the maintenance requests to be fulfilled fairly quickly and it is reasonably quiet. If you are looking for a good deal you can definitely do better but it is an easy solid choice that is unlikely to be a problem for you.

Overall convenient

The apartment is in good condition. The management is a bit slow but it is still acceptable. Packages and deliveries are not efficient.

Apartment is bigger than expected and meets all expectations, all appliances work. Bathroom is not super comfortable/modern but is functional.

There's always pros and cons

Pros:
- Close to bus stop for buses that go to UChicago (for free with a student ID), as well as downtown.
- Many UChicago law students live here. The community builds up to support each other.
- Great view and natural light (if you choose the right room).
- The staffs are all very nice.
- Walmart is very close by (>5min.), Trader Joes, Target, Walgreens, CVS is within walking distance (15 min.).

Cons:
- Regents stands close to a highway. It may be loud sometimes.
- You can basically hear everything that's happening in the hallways.
- The walls aren't super super thin, but you can hear the sound of your neighbor's T-Fall, if you're room is dead silent.
* To be fair, you won't notice your neighbors sound if you have your TV on, listening to music, talking with friends etc., unless they're throwing a party or just really loud in general.

There are better options around Hyde Park

Pros: location, a lot of UChicago (especially Law School students) living here and apartment size.
Cons: mail room, elevators, and residents services in general are messy.

Reviewed by UChicago LLM Student living at Regents Park
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.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Maple Court
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.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Regents Park
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.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Regents Park
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.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Twin Towers
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.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at Regents Park
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!
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 5053 S Ellis
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.
