Apartment is rather basic. Management is kind of bad to work with. Nice to be close to campus. Has good access to public transportation.

This building has a very high concentration of UChicago students. This, there are multiple buses that run between the building and campus. 172 picks you up in front of the building and drops you off in front of Booth. It’s also free for UChicago students! The rent in the building ranges between 1500 and 2000 for one bedroom depending on the floor and whether it is fully renovated. Beautiful view and very convenient. Steps away from Metra and Bus 6 to go downtown.

Bad mgmt, decent location/views/amenities

I'm one of the only 2L's who stayed in Regents. A lot of folks can bad experiences but personally I've had a good one. Mac management is bad. And living on high floors the elevators are often slow. But the amenities are great - including a gym and a new convenience store, laundry, pool, grill you can order delivery from etc. The apartment itself is great with a nice view of the lake. I also have a walk in closet in addition to two other closets and tons of cabinet space.

Not bad and little shop inside building

My experience at Regents has been overwhelmingly positive. This may be due to the fact that I live on a low floor and do not have to use the elevators at all, which seems to be people's main concern with the building. My rent is relatively cheap (I have a roommate), my neighbors are quiet, repairs occur almost instantaneously, the building is safe, management has been responsive to me, there are 172 and 6 bus stops right outside the building, the building is walking distance from many grocery stores, restaurants, and bars, and the building has a gym.

I had a good year at Regents Park. My roommate and I had a spacious apartment with a great view, and any issue we had regarding maintenance was fixed within 24 hours. The building looks old but if you don't mind that, I didn't really care. The biggest issue for us was the elevators, which were terrible. It was rare that all elevators in our tower were operating, and it was not usual to waits for the elevators (both going up and down) for 10 minutes. Otherwise, we had no problems. I do have friends (most of whom lived in the building's south tower), who encountered substantial problems. The elevators there at least once or twice were all out of commission (I once walked up 36 floors to deliver something to a friend there), and they had a tower-wide power outage that lasted several days. I had a good year there and appreciated being in a building with a lot of other law students, but I truly encourage the Admissions office or the students themselves to coordinate another building to focus on.

When I moved in it was clear that nobody had cleaned the apartment since the last tenant moved out.

The apartment is good-sized, clean, and in a great location in the Hyde Park area. It has a dishwasher and laundry in the basement. Maintenance is fairly quick and responsive. And the building is surprisingly quiet - I never hear noise from my neighbors coming from my ceiling or walls.

The downsides are: the elevators are constantly down (usually 2, maybe only 1, work, out of 4 total; servicing 300 apartments with so few elevators creates huge waiting times); the garage for parking a car is expensive, very tight (people rub their cars all the time), and the garage door is always broken, leading to long wait times just to get out; the apartment is expensive overall, especially when you add in utilities; and I have seen roaches, especially in winter.

Pros:
- Great views
- Great layout
- Gym is pretty good
- Staff is nice
- Great living where a lot of students live
- AC / Heat works well

Cons:
- Horrible elevator system (like, genuinely horrible)
- Staff lie about promised improvements for unknown reasons
- Walls pretty thin (often hear people in adjacent rooms)
- Pay extra for Wi-Fi, and at an increasing rate for quicker speeds (we pay $25 per month for 25mbps)
- Revolving door at front makes no sense
- Amenities fee of $140 per month (total)
