Solstice

It is generally a quiet building. It’s conveniently located near Trader Joe’s and not far from Whole Foods. It’s also a block from many of the UChicago shuttle stops.

Great Location for UChicago Shuttles

Solstice is expensive, but nice. The apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows and nice amenities. There is a nice gym in the building. There’s also free coffee and a lounge/study area downstairs if you need a change of scenery. The location is also great - it’s one block from the Midway Metra UChicago shuttle stop, which runs every 10-15 minutes during rush hours and stops in front of the law school. It’s also on the route for other UChicago shuttles.

Solstice All Year Long

Solstice is a really nice, new property with responsive management. It has great windows and the people who work at the front desk are really, really great.

Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 5252
I prioritized living close to the law school in an area with restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. 5252 offered all these things. I can also easily walk my dogs to the lake from my building.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Comfortable and walkable, decent selection of amenities (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) and close to the lakefront. Not much nightlife
Reviewed by Chicago-Kent Law Student living at The Shoreland
Hyde Park is a fantastic place to live. My girlfriend and I see ourselves staying there for a long time.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at City Hyde Park
Great neighborhood close to the school. Many students live here, which is good for social events.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at 5337 S Hyde Park Blvd
Hyde Park is a pretty place, very lowkey though. Not much going on (few bars & restaurants). A bit far from other happening neighborhoods in Chicago. There are crime issues (cars broken in, muggings) but not horrible--just have to be vigilant about avoiding risky situations.
Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Shoreland
Hyde Park is quiet and feels a bit more like a neighborhood, but it is easy to get downtown via the CTA buses or the Metra Electric. The neighborhood itself has some nice cafes and things, but there is less to do outside the school
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at East Park Tower
Hyde Park is the BEST. It's beautiful, active community of people who just really care about the neighborhood. I feel safer living in Hyde Park than any other neighborhood I've lived in Chicago (Lakeview, Logan, Wicker) because the people who live in HP have done so deliberately; they came here either due to the University or simply a desire to live here, which means people say hi on the street, strike up conversations in grocery lines, remember you when you see them at brunch, etc. That being said, I wouldn't recommend it for people who want to be in the middle of the action (the Loop). I chose HP because I have no patience for the bustle....and because it's way cheaper. My apartment would rent for twice as much if it were near MPP.

I don't get why people dislike Hyde Park so much. Although, to be fair, I do not go out much and when I do, I have a car. But, I really like being able to walk to school everyday rather than have to commute. Plenty of grocery options, especially now that trader joe's is open. Decent number of restaurants around and they're good; nothing spectacular. As for safety, be aware and don't walk by yourself at 2am; use common sense and you'll be fine.
