Ok

The apartment itself is nice. It is spacious and the finishes are above average. The view is nice. The gym has good cardio equipment and so-so weight training equipment. I still feel the price is artificially inflated, and that Mac arbitrarily raises the rent at the end of the lease to induce turnover.

Great social scene

Good place to make friends and be near the social action, but a bit farther from Hyde Park bars and restaurants.

Worth the premium for being close to others and the great views.

Regents Park

Somewhat expensive for Hyde Park, but at least in our case I would say it's worth it--tons of space, good amenities, and a fantastic view. Might be even better with some of the more modern units. If you spend a little time finding a room with a great view and wait for a decent price (Mac prices seem to fluctuate throughout the summer), I think you can find something that works for you.

Not bad, not great

Great location but pretty pricey. There aren't a ton of other options around near campus so while dealing with MAC Properties hasn't been great, it’s a reliable choice if you want to find something quickly that a lot of other students will be at.

Regents Park is a good place to live for your 1L year

I found Regents Park to be a great place to live during your 1L year. It's close and far enough from the school, so you can have your own space while being close enough to go home quickly if you forgot something at home. Most other 1Ls live there, which makes it also a great place to live socially. Most parties and social events happen in Regents Park.

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.

Happy living here for two years during law school.

Not worth the overpriced rent, but a great place to live if you can afford it and the amenities are worth the high price to you.

The place to live as a 1L. You have your own space, great amenities, apartments are spacious. Most 1Ls live here and in Hyde Park in general.

Kenwood Reviews

59 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.
* Very safe; lots of students and families with children and pets
* Many public transit options to the Law School + Loop (the 6, the 28, the 172, the Metra)
* Close to Lake Michigan, great for picnicking, exercising, or sightseeing * Close to 53rd St. strip (restaurants, bars, a hotel, etc.) but still quiet and peaceful
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.
Everyone in the LL.M program lives in Hyde Park and most of the people live in Regents. You will have an amazing time and the community is perfect. Even if you live alone, you will always have someone to help you with apartment-related problems or just company.
I enjoyed Hyde Park. Although I did try not to walk anywhere at night, I never had an experience that made me uncomfortable. I think Hyde Park has several very good restaurants and fun bars, and it has a nice community feel. I enjoyed living there!
I like Hyde Park. I'm close to everything on 53rd, and most of the time I don't feel unsafe. I'm also close enough to Kenwood that I can walk/run there for a more quiet, less busy experience. Kenwood Park is the best.
