A bit old, and annoying management fees, but otherwise great!

The condo association management can be frustrating sometimes, especially because they have very strict rules about paying fees for things like moving in ("reserving the freight elevator" for $200, which will also have to be paid again upon move out), requesting new key fobs or garage openers, and maintenance requests. The building is also very old, so we have lots of dust, etc. and the appliances are outdated. But every unit has its own parking space, basement storage locker, and there is a bike storage room and a spacious gym. For University students, the location is great--right outside a 172 bus stop and two blocks from Ratner gym. The pricing is very reasonable for the amount of space we have, and the kitchen is large (lots of counter tops and space to move around). The balcony is also a big plus--we're able to have a portable grill to use during the warmer months and can spend time outside in the fresh air. Because of the balcony, we get lots of natural light. Pet friendly, with reasonable pet fees ($25/year).

Spacious, in-unit laundry, hardwood floors, and easy commute to school

The Rennaisance Place at Hyde Park is a fantastic place to live! The condo building itself is very quiet - it is home to many retirees and professionals - so its always easy to study. I am right on the stop for the 172 bus and UChicago shuttles, so my commute to school is very quick. Barely 2 blocks from Ratner, so easy access to the gym as well. The building has a gym in the basement as well, if you aren't picky.

I prioritized living close to the law school in an area with restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. 5252 offered all these things. I can also easily walk my dogs to the lake from my building.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Comfortable and walkable, decent selection of amenities (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) and close to the lakefront. Not much nightlife

Hyde Park is a fantastic place to live. My girlfriend and I see ourselves staying there for a long time.

Great neighborhood close to the school. Many students live here, which is good for social events.

Hyde Park is a pretty place, very lowkey though. Not much going on (few bars & restaurants). A bit far from other happening neighborhoods in Chicago. There are crime issues (cars broken in, muggings) but not horrible--just have to be vigilant about avoiding risky situations.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Hyde Park is quiet and feels a bit more like a neighborhood, but it is easy to get downtown via the CTA buses or the Metra Electric. The neighborhood itself has some nice cafes and things, but there is less to do outside the school
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at East Park Tower
Hyde Park is the BEST. It's beautiful, active community of people who just really care about the neighborhood. I feel safer living in Hyde Park than any other neighborhood I've lived in Chicago (Lakeview, Logan, Wicker) because the people who live in HP have done so deliberately; they came here either due to the University or simply a desire to live here, which means people say hi on the street, strike up conversations in grocery lines, remember you when you see them at brunch, etc. That being said, I wouldn't recommend it for people who want to be in the middle of the action (the Loop). I chose HP because I have no patience for the bustle....and because it's way cheaper. My apartment would rent for twice as much if it were near MPP.

I don't get why people dislike Hyde Park so much. Although, to be fair, I do not go out much and when I do, I have a car. But, I really like being able to walk to school everyday rather than have to commute. Plenty of grocery options, especially now that trader joe's is open. Decent number of restaurants around and they're good; nothing spectacular. As for safety, be aware and don't walk by yourself at 2am; use common sense and you'll be fine.
