Love the size (not too many residents), the amenities (in-unit washer/dryer is huge), the bus stop to the law school is right outside, and I'm happy with my space for the price I am paying. I think it's probably the best luxury building in Hyde Park, but it's not prohibitively expense with a roommate (because it's Hyde Park).

The entrance to the Shoreland is almost intimidatingly spectacular, since it was originally built as a hotel (where Al Capone used to "do business"). Inside is not as glamorous, but it has everything I wanted: a gym, central air/heat, and easy/fast transportation to the law school (free buses take you door to door, or you can walk in under 30 or Uber in under 8 minutes OR, if it's between 6 and 8 PM, you can use free Lyft credit to get home). It's also nice to have the option of seeing other law school students both in the building itself or at Regents, which is very nearby and houses tons of 1Ls. It's also great to be able to see Lake Michigan from your room (if you get a lakeside apartment) and go down there to walk or run when it isn't too cold. And to have staff at the front desk who collect any packages that come for you. The gym isn't very big, there isn't enough lighting within the apartments, and people's pets are sometimes loud, but, all in all, Shoreland is a super refreshing deal compared to places like SF and NYC.

Shoreland is very convenient. The 171 picks up right in front of the dorm and drops off right in front of the law school so walking in the cold has not been an issue. Management is impossible, and the apartment is way over-priced. But, having an in-unit washer/dryer is pretty neat.

I've been very happy with my experience at the Shoreland. To begin, it's very easy to get to The Law School, since the 171 picks up right in front. It's an absolutely beautiful building -- an historic site, no less! -- and the inside doesn't disappoint. The apartments were recently renovated, and all are splendid, with new fixtures, granite counters, and, best of all, in-unit washer/dryers. I have a few quibbles, certainly -- the water pressure isn't great, and Mac Property Management has its reputation -- but overall, I'm tremendously satisfied, and plan on remaining at the Shoreland through my 2L and 3L years.

Property is great. Lots of students and even a few professors. Safe. Comes with a ping pong table in the lobby which is fun. Gym is really small. Internet is provided but is ungodly slow so you might as well buy an upgraded package. Management (MAC) is awful but basically have a monopoly on Hyde Park so what are you going to do? Building itself is amazing and is a really historic place.
