Satisfied for the most part (maybe a little overpriced)

I have had only good interactions with Mac Properties despite hearing the horror stories. Maintenance requests are often filled within a few hours of submission and the staff is wonderful and friendly. Being so close to a 171 bus stop is also great because it basically provides door to door service from Shoreland to the law school.

Building review


The building is good. It doesn’t provide you with a lot of facilities (just a gym and common areas) but overall is better than other Mac Properties in HP (especially if compared to Regents)

Clean, new apartment; great folks working in building

I really like living at Shoreland though I will admit the rent feels a bit high for a studio. I appreciate being able to live alone with my cat. The people who work at the front desk and in maintenance are the nicest. The gym is small but good/convenient enough for me. The 171 bus which drops you directly at the law school stops right in front of the building. We are very close to a tunnel that leads to the Lake Shore which is great for running. It also leads directly to Promontory Point where a lot of student orgs host bonfires/events.

Super Comfortable from Day 1

This property goes far beyond my expectation in several ways. First, you can enjoy fully renovated and beautiful room, as if you were the first resident for your room. The kitchen, bathroom, electrical appliances in my room were all brand-new and clean. That makes me really comfortable from Day 1. Second, as almost all the utilities are included in the monthly fee (in accurate, utility fee plus monthly rent), all you have to do is to contact with internet service provider. Especially for international students, skipping burdensome contact with several utility companies is a great benefit and that allows you to start your new life smoothly. Third, though my room is studio type, it's really spacious and has lots of storage space. As I have two closets, I can hang all clothes (no need for storage case). Additionally, it's generally quiet throughout the day, so I think it's one of the best places to study for UChicago students.
The only downside is, while the building is classical and beautiful, it was built in 1925. Actually, I had encountered trouble on the water outlet in the kitchen, but it was not serious.
Overall, I really feel comfortable living in Shoreland and so I highly recommend to new students!

Generally good, occasionally great

I had some hesitations about renting from Mac after some horror stories were passed along but I am generally pleased with my experience here. The front desk staff are so nice and really try to make the apartment complex feel more welcoming. I appreciate the gym in the building as well! All the maintenance issues I’ve had have been promptly responded to and fixed. Depending on where your unit is, it can be pretty loud with trash and recycling pickup which seems to occur every other day at least, so be cognizant of that (seems worst on the northwest side of the building).

Decent

It's a decent place to stay in Hyde Park--meets comfortable, basic living standards. 24/7 doorman and underground parking garage are pluses. Biggest negative is the internet. American Wide Broadband is the only provider and the internet is slow and unreliable. Depending on which side of the complex you live in, you may be able to get 5G internet which is much better.

Great, friendly, collegiate

The Shoreland is a great building for 1Ls and 2Ls. The building offers a collegiate environment as a great deal of law students live there. It is a great distance from the law school (not far, but easy to access via bus line).

Great, friendly, collegiate

Shoreland is a great choice for law students! It is convient to the law school, grocery store, and a number of restaurants. Shoreland also is right on Lake Michigan which is truly incredible. The building has a number of law students living in it, offering an almost “dorm-feel” - I really commend for any 1Ls and 2Ls that want a little bit of distance from the law school, while being conveniently located on a bus route

Hyde Park Reviews

154 reviews
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.
