Great location but pretty pricey. There aren't a ton of other options around near campus so while dealing with MAC Properties hasn't been great, it’s a reliable choice if you want to find something quickly that a lot of other students will be at.

Convenient but not great. The building is too expensive and there are better options out there. Management is not great either.

Regents is a good place to consider if you are looking for convenience, superior access to public transportation, and the opportunity to be close to law school friends. Try to get a place early in the summer if you want a great view of the sky line and the lake. The views and the friendliness of the residents are Regents' major selling points.

The downsides are that it smells like pot in the hallways a non-negligible amount of the time and things seem to break frequently, like the elevators, the treadmills, and the gates in the parking lot. In-unit maintenance is pretty good though.

Love that there's a mini market in the building and a grill (that even delivers)! Love the 24 hour doorman service as well. Feels very safe.

We got both cockroaches and bed bugs. The management team was completely unhelpful and inconsiderate. We got no refund even though we had to move out early. The worst experience of my life.

Due to living abroad, I didn't have the chance to scope out housing in Hyde Park prior to law school. I chose Regents Park because it seemed to be the "safe" option all-around. Basically, it is fine. There is easy access to school via the 172 and downtown via the 6 bus. The apartment has lots of windows and storage, and is a decent size and layout. As a couple, we don't feel cramped in the studio. The gym is nice, although better for cardio than weights. I like living near other law students. What makes me hesitate from being completely satisfied with my living arrangement is that I feel with some effort one could find a 1 bedroom with comparable kitchen/bath quality at a smaller building for the same price elsewhere as the studio in Regents Park.

Regents Park has been a perfectly fine place to live; the apartment is spacious, the gym is fine (if not "amazing"), the management has always been responsive, and the 172 makes going to the Law School very convenient.

Regents Park management team has been inefficient and terribly organized. They maintain an online portal for rent payment that often over-post the amount of rent due, and attribute past payment to wrong apartments. They have not figured out a way to fix this issue.

Regents pool is dirty and has caused skin conditions.

The management at Regents is awful and they should all lose their jobs. They are slow to respond, disrespectful, and incompetent. These are not people who should be working in the customer service industry. The building is aging and although the maintenance staff is great, there are simply too many issues that need to be dealt with. Further, MAC's goal is obviously to put as little money as possible into Regents. Multiple machines in the gym have broken and never been replaced, the washers have all been out of service more than once, the elevators regularly don't work, etc.

Biggest complaint is the location from the law school. It is a 45 minute walk, and the bus is fast during summer but SO low in the winter. Can take 20 minutes in the morning (plus waiting time), and on the way home its even longer (25-30 minutes). On weekends this is a huge pain when trying to get to the library. Mac had promised a shuttle and took it away, so getting home after 6pm is a challenge.

However, the apartment is GORGEOUS. Id recommend the renovated. Love my unit, love my view. Love being with other law students- and great amenities.
