Laramar Group, LLC

The neighborhood is amazing and you are so close to plenty of grocery stores and restaurants. It is a very walkable neighborhood, plus it is right off of the brown line. I definitely look forward to coming back to a more "homey" area after a whole day in Streeterville.

Comfortable, clean, limited noise issues. Basement has modest gym (cardio and weights), ample pay laundry, and bike/overflow storage. Really, really terrific Super and maintenance staff. A little expensive for me, but (1) seems like that's Hyde Park and (2) it's less than a luxury place.

I really appreciate that I can walk easily to school, Trader Joe's, and restaurants/activities. The neighborhood is nice and has always felt safe. Only a 5-minute walk to the METRA and about 10-minutes from Lake Michigan.

Attended UChicago for undergrad and enjoy living in Hyde Park. This building is close to Harper Center (~8 minute walk), close to the campus gyms (~8 minute walk), and close to a bunch of local restaurants. It is also close to the 55-56-57 metra stop (~5 minute walk) for easy access to downtown.

The apartment is quite spacious, with big bedrooms, living area & kitchen. The bathroom is fairly small but works for us. Unfortunately, the quality isn't as great. Repairs are made cheaply & not fully finished. Our air conditioning did not work when we moved in in the summer & heat did not work come winter. We've had plumping issues where our kitchen sink was pushing dirty water up through the bathtub drain. Essentially, we are paying for space and location...definitely not quality.

Laramer is the new property manager, so this review comes with a caveat. As 1Ls, we cannot complain about being a 15-minute walk from the law school and paying less than $800/person. There are 2 staff members and 2 maintenance staff on-site. That said, this is not the newest buildings. They are putting in a gym.

If you can afford this place, I highly recommend it! Though we pay more for rent than many of our friends, our location is unbeatable-- just a skip, hop, and a jump from the North/Clybourn station, every shop you can imagine in the Sheffield Corridor, and many bars and restaurants at Halsted and Armitage. Our apartment was recently renovated, so that's why we pay more than a lot of other people in this building. If I could downgrade to an apartment the same size but not as recently redone for a price cut, I totally would.
