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!

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.

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

i like it alot

I lived here for all three years of law school. The property management can be a little unreliable at times, but the building feels safe and has its own bus stop that goes directly to the law school.

Great apartment

I've had a good experience with Mac and at the Shoreland. The apartment is relatively spacious and has lots of windows with a pleasant view. It was important to me to have a dishwasher and in-unit washer-dryer and the Shoreland was one of the only places within my price range where I was able to get that. I don't have a parking spot, but I have not had an issue with free street parking as it's a quiet street. I also had a much smoother leasing process after a negative experience trying to rent from Ivy Residences. As a law student, it has been convenient to have many of my classmates in the building. The only major downside is that the Shoreland is far from campus, particularly from the Law School. I walked my commute for much of the first quarter and it is just over a 30 minute walk. There is a bus stop right in front of the building, but the bus can be inconsistent and infrequent, especially when trying to get back from campus to the building in the late afternoon and evening. The building is about a 15 minute walk from two grocery stores, but the Shoreland is also rather distant from most of Hyde Park's coffee shops and restaurants.

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).

We've had a good experience living at Shoreland so far. The apartment is nice and clean, and we don't have to worry about utilities because they're included in our rent. Management is responsive to repair/maintenance concerns. For law students, it's very convenient to commute on the free 171, which stops in front of Shoreland and the law school. You could definitely get a cheaper place in Hyde Park and be fine, but you pay a little extra for the convenience and some amenities (like central AC and in-unit washer/dryer).

overall I think there are better deals out there. however this place is safe, comfortable, and the amenities are quite nice. the maintenance staff is great and I love the location. I am staying
