Couldn't be better. Great rooms, great location, great amenities, and nice to be near classmates.

I have had only good interactions with Mac Properties despite hearing the horror stories. Maintenance requests are often filled within a few hours of submission and the staff is wonderful and friendly. Being so close to a 171 bus stop is also great because it basically provides door to door service from Shoreland to the law school.

The building is good. It doesn’t provide you with a lot of facilities (just a gym and common areas) but overall is better than other Mac Properties in HP (especially if compared to Regents)

This property goes far beyond my expectation in several ways. First, you can enjoy fully renovated and beautiful room, as if you were the first resident for your room. The kitchen, bathroom, electrical appliances in my room were all brand-new and clean. That makes me really comfortable from Day 1. Second, as almost all the utilities are included in the monthly fee (in accurate, utility fee plus monthly rent), all you have to do is to contact with internet service provider. Especially for international students, skipping burdensome contact with several utility companies is a great benefit and that allows you to start your new life smoothly. Third, though my room is studio type, it's really spacious and has lots of storage space. As I have two closets, I can hang all clothes (no need for storage case). Additionally, it's generally quiet throughout the day, so I think it's one of the best places to study for UChicago students.
The only downside is, while the building is classical and beautiful, it was built in 1925. Actually, I had encountered trouble on the water outlet in the kitchen, but it was not serious.
Overall, I really feel comfortable living in Shoreland and so I highly recommend to new students!

I really like living at Shoreland though I will admit the rent feels a bit high for a studio. I appreciate being able to live alone with my cat. The people who work at the front desk and in maintenance are the nicest. The gym is small but good/convenient enough for me. The 171 bus which drops you directly at the law school stops right in front of the building. We are very close to a tunnel that leads to the Lake Shore which is great for running. It also leads directly to Promontory Point where a lot of student orgs host bonfires/events.

I lived here for all three years of law school. The property management can be a little unreliable at times, but the building feels safe and has its own bus stop that goes directly to the law school.

The apartment is right off Lake Michigan with super easy access to The Point and the waterfront trail. There is also a bus stop right out front of the building that can take you to the law school. Getting a parking spot with the building is difficult, but there is tons of free street parking right outside, and a parking lot close by that you can pay for monthly. The overall apartment is very clean and nice. Maintenance has always been quick to respond. I also feel very safe as the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day (which also means your packages never get stolen, and there is an Amazon Hub locker that is very convenient). Overall, it is a great place to live as a 1L.

We've had a good experience living at Shoreland so far. The apartment is nice and clean, and we don't have to worry about utilities because they're included in our rent. Management is responsive to repair/maintenance concerns. For law students, it's very convenient to commute on the free 171, which stops in front of Shoreland and the law school. You could definitely get a cheaper place in Hyde Park and be fine, but you pay a little extra for the convenience and some amenities (like central AC and in-unit washer/dryer).

I had some hesitations about renting from Mac after some horror stories were passed along but I am generally pleased with my experience here. The front desk staff are so nice and really try to make the apartment complex feel more welcoming. I appreciate the gym in the building as well! All the maintenance issues I’ve had have been promptly responded to and fixed. Depending on where your unit is, it can be pretty loud with trash and recycling pickup which seems to occur every other day at least, so be cognizant of that (seems worst on the northwest side of the building).

I've lived in Shoreland for three years, and I think it's pretty good value for a student. While there are certainly more affordable options in Hyde Park, the amenities, proximity to transit (the 171 bus stops right out front), 24-hour front desk staffing, and proximity to the lake make it a really great place to live. I always feel safe here, and while there are the usual difficulties of living in an apartment building, I would really recommend it for UChicago Law students (especially compared to other options!).
