Lovely Place to Live!
My boyfriend and I lived at Scholars Corner for 1 year (2016-2017) while we were living in Chicago to complete clinical rotations. Our experience there was incredible and we would have stayed longer if we weren't leaving Chicago. Sure the building is old, but it is extremely well maintained and very clean. We had a corner apartment so we had a view on both downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan. The lobby has lockers for parcel pending so you can order anything online and have the piece of mind that items were locked. The property manager is very helpful and kind. Maintenance was also excellent. We had 2 small issues during our stay (a leak in our sink and a problem with our shower drain) and both were fixed within a couple of hours after we submitted a complaint online.
We loved living in Hyde Park. The building is on a relatively quiet street, but steps away from Whole Foods and just a block away from 53rd street (where most restaurants and stores in Hyde Park are located). It is also only a 5-minute walk to Lake Michigan, which is great if you like to bike, walk, or run by the lake. We did not have a car while living in Chicago so I cannot comment on parking. However, the #6 express bus (to downtown) and #172 (to University of Chicago) are right across the street. Overall, we highly recommend Scholars Corner!

Greatest Place I've Ever Lived
I lived at Scholars Corner a decade ago, when I was in school at the U of C. I loved it-- the view of the lake was a constant source of joy for me. The amenities of the building were up-to-date and impressive, and the rent was very reasonable. Honestly, it was the only place I cried over when I eventually moved out!

Great building!
I lived in here for five years and I absolutely love it here. The only reason I'm moving is because the parking situation in Hyde Park is horrible but that's out if Scholars Corner control. The leasing manager is very friendly and response to calls quickly. Maintance team is amazing. Requests are usually taking care of within 48 hours. The building is cleaned and I don't have any issues with noisey neighbors (at least not on my floor). My only complaints are that it's an old building so it's gets draftly in the winter and the elevators are old (vintage style) so every now and then they go out but the problem never lasts for more then a day. Also, since Hyde Park is gentrifying, my rent goes up $20 every year. If you can deal with the parking and can afford the rent, I highly recommend Scholars Corner!

Bird's Eye View
My apartment is perfectly unique. From the moment I walked in, my eyes were glued to the view. An ideal picture of the city skyline, even more remarkable when the sun was setting. When I pulled my eyes away from the window I looked around the rest of the place only to find every corner filled with character. Right then it felt like home. Friendly staff and a perfect location sealed the deal. I can get downtown, by train, in less than 10 minutes and I have a short walk to Lake Michigan. What more could a person ask for?

Great apartment
Have lived in the building for over a year now and have really enjoyed the location within Hyde Park. I can access the lake front path for riding/running every morning and am two blocks away from the commercial centers on 53rd and 57th. The office and maintenance staff are extremely nice and have helped me even the smallest of requests. I'm renting a 1 bedroom unit within the building and appreciate the reasonable cost for living in the Hyde Park.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to live here. The location is great, close to all forms of public transportation and ri
