Best Landlord I have had
It’s a great apartment. The amenities are nice, and maintenance is fairly helpful.

I like that many other law students live in the building. I know many other buildings have issues with stolen packages and that has never been an issue because of the Amazon Hub / front desk management. Also, the 171 picks up outside the building, so in the winter you can get to the law school door-to-door without spending much time in the cold. Also, the proximity to the lake/Point is really nice. Staff at the building is very friendly. Amenities are not great, but the units are updated/clean and many of them have nice lake views.

Positives:
- Responsive management (have heard bad things about other MAC properties, but Shoreland is the location of MAC headquarters.
- Many amenities: gym (almost always empty, treadmills, barbell rack, a few machines), pet spa, dry cleaning, lounge that you can reserve for free for social events.
- In-unit washer/dryer in the apartment.
- 24/7 front desk.
- You get to set your own heating and you DON'T PAY for heating, which really helps for the winter; you can leave heat on 24/7 if you want.
- Great location: right next to Promontory Point (where a lot of social events are held) and the lakefront trail.
Negatives:
- 171 bus is not super reliable: it is nice that the bus stop is right outside your apartment, but you have to be careful if you intend to take the 171 to class every day, because it is frequently delayed.
- Rent is on the higher side: good if you live with your partner or a roommate, pricy if you live by yourself.
- If you're talking at above average volume in the main room, people can probably hear you in the hallway if they're trying to eavesdrop.

Very convenient for the law school because the bus stops outside - although the bus could be more consistent. Location is decent for Hyde Park, although better food options would be nice. Overall very nice building, great to have a lot of friends nearby.

I love living at Shoreland! It is about a 15 min bus ride to the Law School, and the Regents Express also takes you from the Law School to Shoreland. If you have a car, do NOT get parking--there's so much street parking nearby. I have a dog, and there's a park right across the street, and the neighborhood feels very safe. My partner is also in law school and commutes downtown, which is about 35-40 minutes one-way, and it is feasible. Our utilities are a flat rate, and we pay for internet separately.

Shoreland is great
I've really enjoyed my time living at the Shoreland so far! Hyde Park is a great neighborhood and the Shoreland is a great place to live. The units are quiet and spacious and you're right by a park so you have plenty of green space around and you're also in walking distance to the lakeshore trail! Its also a short 2-block walk to get to the bus I take that drops me off at Union Station!

Great location and lots of space
Great location with easy access to Promontory Point and 171 Bus. Quick walk to Trader Joes. Extremely clean! Just wish the gym were a bit bigger.

I've been happy with Shoreland! Lots of law students in building, walking distance to law school and right on bus line, nice units and good overall complex.

Very comfortable with good amenities, a little pricey
I feel very comfortable and safe at The Shoreland. I love having in-unit washer and dryer (this was very important to me) and dishwasher, as well as great central heating and AC. The front desk staff is very friendly and I feel safe and at-home here. I also loving living in the same building as other law students. Yes, it feels a little dorm-like in some ways, but it's really nice to have a built-in community especially when it comes to studying/doing work together in the winter.

Hyde Park Reviews
I personally loved living close to campus, for access both to Harper Center and to the broader UChicago campus. I feel much more integrated with the rest of the university as a result of proximity and availability.
In short, there's enough going on in Hyde Park not to feel isolated, but it's far enough away from the city not to feel suffocated.
