I like this building. No complaints. It's a little pricey but other than that I've had a good experience.

In my opinion, The Shoreland is the best apartment (for the price) in Hyde Park. Its amenities are modern and well-functioning, and its staff extremely helpful (and pleasant). The building feels new, and the location (right next to the lake trail, and a short walk to campus or the nearby Whole Foods or Trader Joe's) is unbeatable. The 171 bus has a stop at the apartment, which makes getting to and from campus extremely easy.

The only downside is that during the summer, it becomes extremely loud at night. Chicago residents like to park their cars in the parking lot just outside and blast music all night along every night of the week. (That is not hyperbole.) The CPD is quite responsive (and succesfully gets people to stop), but they can only do so much, so do be aware that from mid May through Juneteeth, if it's anything like last year, you should invest in a good pair of earplugs and some naps.

Overall, the Shoreland is terrific. It is not inexpensive, but you get a great value of nice amenities right across from the lake and an easy bus ride from campus. (The 171 -- one of the buses that UChicago students can ride for free -- stops right outside the Shoreland Monday through Saturday.)
Usually, the building is very quiet; the exception is during the summertime, when there are regularly fireworks and very loud gatherings in the parking lot outside. While that is a nuisance, the value of the Shoreland the rest of the year makes it easily worth it for me.

I love the building, but there have definitely been some maintenance issues — I'd recommend reaching out to people in the building before signing to know which floors are best / have had issues!

Haven’t had any issues living here for 2 years. Lots of law students live in the building and the bus picks up outside.

Great experience

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.

So far has been a decent place to live. Bad gym though.

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.

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.
