review on UPC

Overall, I like this apartment. It's safe, the staff is helpful, amenities are fine and close to public transportation. The only downside for me is that there is little light in the room, but as far as I know, all of my friends also encounter this issue, it may be the normal things in the US where there will be little light in their bedroom. Not a big problem, though, you just need to find 1-2 reading lamps if you want to do a reading in your room.

reasonable condo

The condominium was built in the sixties and is kind of old, but it has great location which is close to the supermarket and bus stops. The building has 24-hour security which keeps it very safe and the management staff is very friendly and responsive.

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.

There's nothing that compares to being in the neighborhood that UChicago is in. Great restaurants and access to the world class lakefront

I like living in Hyde park- it's close to the law school, and I have all the shops and things I need around.

I really enjoy living in Hyde Park. I love how residential and clean it is. It's a great place to go on walks and explore the beautiful historic houses throughout the area. Yet, it still has plenty of restaurants and places to go. It's nice to live in this residential area close to the Law School and still be only a 20-minute uber away from downtown. Safety is something I think about a lot, but this comes with living in any big city. I try to avoid walking alone at night and walk in groups whenever possible. I never have my music blasting. I also carry my pepper spray and keys in my hand at all times when I'm out walking.

Very close to "downtown" Hyde Park so pretty much everything is around you. Transportation to the University of Chicago is also really close by. So are several CTA bus stops and the Metra. There are several restaurants, grocery stores, and shops close by. The building is truly located in a great place.

There have been very few issues with crime and gun violence around the area but like in every major city, being vigilant is important. I have not been too worried about safety but I am careful because things do happen.

Hyde park isn't the most convenient place to live in Chicago, but it is the most convenient place to get to University of Chicago. At times it may not feel like the safest area, but personally I have never experienced any issues. The commute to school is pretty easy, give or take the accuracy of the bus times.

It's got everything you need. Biggest thing is obviously the proximity to campus.

I love living in Hyde Park, you can view lots of beautiful scenery and easily access to the Loop area for entertainment.
Though Hyde Park is safer area compared to the nearby, needless to say, you should be careful not to walk alone in the nighttime.
