Regents is not the best place to live, but it's definitely worth it. Cons: management isn't great, the package room is a mess, the elevators are slow, many of the apartments aren't updated, buses to campus are much less regular than they advertise. Pros: things tend to work, spacious, beautiful views of the river, social life, amenities, cheap. I think Regents is a good place to be if you want things like a gym, doorman, river views, and a law school community, while still having enough issues to make it cheap.

Regents is incredibly convenient because it is the first stop for the 172 meaning you can always get a spot on the bus and it is quick to get to and from the law school. Nothing about it is particularly special but I have found the maintenance requests to be fulfilled fairly quickly and it is reasonably quiet. If you are looking for a good deal you can definitely do better but it is an easy solid choice that is unlikely to be a problem for you.

Nice building but very old. Package room is a disaster.

I live in the north tower which is more renovated, but the amenities are nowhere near as good as they make it out to be. Gym is shabby and mail room is super disorganized.
My apartment itself has uneven floors which is annoying. Also management NEVER responds over email, and rarely over phone. Repairs are quick though. Also super thin walls.

Very convenient to live right on the bus route and near many other students. Nice to have access to the pool and a small gym. Maintenance usually responds very quickly for small problems, but there are a few more fundamental problems (pests and the mail room) that haven’t changed while we’ve been here. Overall, it’s a nice place to live for the price.

All my issues with the apartment have been with management. The actual unit is great, but management especially when it comes to receiving packages and maintenance requests leaves something to be desired.

The amenities of the building are great and appealing, like the pool and fitness center. The package room is absolutely miserably handled and I don’t send anything there anymore.

Having all utilities covered is a relief and convenience, and besides the fact that the air conditioning doesn’t go below 70, I’ve had no complaints with the utilities at all.

To be clear, the property is very poorly run. There’s not a lot of coordination between the different components of management, and in my first month I had to make several trips down to the property manager’s office to resolve misassigned fees and the like.

I have had minor bugs in the apartment, but no less than would be expected in an urban apartment.

I did get locked out of my room by a stuck key within my first few weeks, and they cut a doggie-door-sized hole in the wall to resolve the issue. It was patched promptly and painted afterwards.

All things considered, Regents is beautiful on the outside (both the building and the amenities), VERY convenient for travel and neighborhood, and a good spot to live in general, even if slightly overpriced for the “actual luxury” of the apartment.

Bad management but great unit

Regents Park Review

The apartment is in good condition. The management is a bit slow but it is still acceptable. Packages and deliveries are not efficient.
