City Hyde Park

We like our place. It is in a great location, right next to the 172 bus and directly above Whold Foods. Staff is nice. The gym is solid. It is pretty expensive for Hyde Park and maintenance is unreliable.

Great place

The building has a newer feel in regard to appliances and amenities. The gym and terrace are very nice and they have programs such as free 15 cups of coffee a month which are nice perks. Overall, the building is also quiet and the rooms have quite a bit of light. Packages are handled efficiently as well. The main con is that maintenance can take a while sometimes.

Went to a more expensive apartment this year, and it was a good move. The apartment is spacious and amenities are nice. Downsides that even with the amenities it's pricy, the temperature is hard to control, and the lights from the high school across the street stay on all night so it can be hard to fall asleep at night. The location is perfect, though, right by a 172 stop, near 53rd street, and right above the Whole Foods.

The building is clean and the all the facilities consistently work. The gym, parking garage, and resident lounge are great amenities that are easy to use and not over-crowded. The building is right next to several bus stops and the Metra, so it's very well-located for getting around Hyde Park and getting to downtown Chicago. Also, the actual unit is very spacious and just as I expected. The views from our living room are amazing!

I definitely recommend CHP, but it is probably more expensive than many Hyde Park apartments. Our apartment is big and we have never had big problems. The electricity is extra and parking adds a lot to the cost too. Washer/dryer and dishwasher in-unit are great, and the AC is strong.

Location is ideal for the 172 line and proximity to Whole Foods, especially for the winter.

We get a ton of light in the apartment because of the big windows, but it is odd that there are no light fixtures in the ceiling in the den (might be the biggest drawback, along with relatively thin walls). The staff is great, and it is nice to be ensured that your packages are secured by the front desk. Management could be more responsible, but that is typical for MAC.

- Right on the 172 bus line (just a 15 min ride to the law school)
- Right above a Whole Foods (I can go to the grocery store without going outside), and a direct 5 min walk to Trader Joe's
- Cheaper than Shoreland Apartments, which the Law School advertises to new students
- Incredibly nice staff, events, etc.
- Beautiful rooms
- Right next to all the restaurants on 53rd St.
- Can also pay for parking

I really like living here. The place feels organized and secure. With two other roommates it does not cost me too much. I like that it has a gym and easy access to transportation.

Nice and convenient location.

The apartment is clean and spacious. The management is good as well. Location is good, as it is both near to law school, near to other apartments the classmates live, and also right above the supermarket.
The only downside is the monthly rent, which is very expensive compared to other buildings.
