Solid apartment with an unreliable elevator system

Overall, the Shoreland is a good building. The apartment is very nice, as are the common areas. The building is plagued by elevator problems--I've been stuck in the elevator on four separate occasions and have sometimes had to take the stairs because the elevators are entirely down.

Great for a grad student living alone

Great for a grad students living alone who want both privacy and a strong community. Spacious floor plan. Perfect for hosting small gatherings. I also love having in-unit laundry.
Only concern is that maintenance and the resident services team are sometimes hard to get in touch with, especially for urgent issues.

Nice Apartments

I like my unit, but it's weirdly shaped. Make sure you tour in person. Location on the point is wonderful and a ton of the class lives here.
My AC keeps breaking, but they are pretty responsive.

Treated well great building

Have lived in Hyde park for a while and Mac is by and large an awful landlord. However, the Shoreland is an exception. Friendly staff, clean, new, etc.

Shoreland Apartment Experience

I've had a great experience so far living at Shoreland. It's quiet, which is ideal for studying and working at home, yet lots of other students live in the building, so it's very easy to socialize when you want to, especially when the building hosts events in the lobby. Management is very friendly and they always respond quickly to my occasional service requests. I have also only ever found one bug in my apartment in over a year of living here.

Good Apartment

I really like this apartment so far! Maintenance has been pretty quick (usually within a day or two), the bus is very convenient, there are lots of students in the buildings, and the apartment itself is nice. On the negative side, the gym is pretty small and the hallways are kind of ugly (yellow walls and old carpet). It also was pretty hot when I moved in -- I don't think the A/C is the best (in my unit at least).

The Shoreland is excellent

The Shoreland is all-around excellent:
1. Location: I'm a UChicago Law student, and it is great to be about a mile from the edge of campus.
2. Transportation: The 171 bus (with several campus stops) comes right to the Shoreland on both weekdays and weekends.
3. Staff: The concierge staff are wonderful, and packages/mail are handled securely, because they staff 24-hours. The maintenance staff are very responsive (within 24 hours) and friendly.
4. Amenities: While the rent is not cheap, it does include most utilities and does make for a very comfortable, operable, and clean living space.
5. Pleasant residents: Fellow residents are generally friendly and responsible. (For those looking for quiet, this is a good place!)

Hyde Park Reviews

222 reviews
Hyde Park is a historic neighborhood with a lot of local flavor and a defensible restaurant / bar scene. Plus, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Target all recently opened locations here, so there's an abundance of grocery store options.

I personally loved living close to campus, for access both to Harper Center and to the broader UChicago campus. I feel much more integrated with the rest of the university as a result of proximity and availability.
You can easily access all your necessary facilities. Just 1 minute walk to CTA bus stops for U of C and downtown and U of C night shuttle bus stop. 3 minutes walk to Metra station. You can go to Whole Foods Market without getting out during brutal Chicago winter. 5 minutes walk to Chipotle, Roti, Starbucks, movie theater and UPS .10 minutes walk to Trader Joes, Office Depot, Walgreens, CVS, Target, and USPS.
If I manage to catch the bus, it's about 15 minutes during busy times of the day or like 9 minutes at non-busy times. I can also walk to school in about 20 minutes, so it's not bad even if I miss the bus or if there are too many people already on the bus so it just drives by without even stopping (which happens frequently before 10 am). I've never had any problems where I live, and I regularly walk around at very odd hours like 3 am or whatever. Of course, I don't recommend doing that. It only takes once.
The convenience of getting to campus cannot be beat. I feel relatively safe as a young woman here. I have never been robbed thus far. Thankfully there are lots of police officers. I get my groceries at hyde park produce and whole foods, which are both pretty convenient. The 172 is great. I just wish it ran later at night for late classes.
Hyde park is just the best! It has really blossomed over the past 5 years that I've been living there. It has really become home for me. I have lived on Blackstone, Cornell, Woodlawn, and now Kenwood. Each experience has been awesome. I have felt comfortable and safe at all times - even with my late night walks/runs. My favorite feature of course is Lake Michigan! There's something about Hyde Park's lake front that i just adore!
There's a lot going on off of 53rd. Good restaurants (A10, Promentory, Yusho) and even some worthwhile fast food (Native Foods, Chipotle). There are two grocery stores (Hyde Park Produce is phenomenal), and almost everything else (a hardware store, an office supply store in the Treasure Island shopping center, some doctors' offices off of 55th). Down on 57th there are some other good restaurants (Medici) and 57th Street Books is a cornerstone. Hyde Park even just got an improv comedy place (The Revival) on 57th.

In short, there's enough going on in Hyde Park not to feel isolated, but it's far enough away from the city not to feel suffocated.
Hyde Park is great if you want convenience and safety. Some things are a little overpriced (god help those who want cheap flour) but others are cheap (i.e., square footage of your unit if you aren't in Regents). It's not a neighborhood for those who love nightlife. We have almost none. But there's a professional theater company, some good restaurants, and you can walk home basically any time of night.
Hyde Park is a great place to live for a student or a young family, in that it's relatively quiet, but is growing quickly in terms of entertainment and dining options. It's also very beautiful, being an older neighborhood with a lot of brownstones and castle-like structures, and big trees with lots of beautiful foliage in the fall. I don't like the fact that there's not an L stop central to the neighborhood, but the Metra makes up some of the difference if you live nearby, and the buses to downtown are relatively convenient. Also, people's concerns about "safety" are ridiculous – I think certain people tend to become afraid when they see more brown people than they are used to, but the neighborhood is actually one of the wealthiest and safest neighborhoods in the city, in addition to having the advantage of being culturally and demographically diverse. There's also a lot of really nice park space (you're between Jackson Park and Washington Park, have the Midway Plaisance right in the middle of the university, and other smaller parks like Nichols Park and Harold Washington Park provide a lot of nice greenery).
