Verified Renter Altho this is a World War I era building, it has been well-maintained and professionally managed. While rents are not unreasonable, there are two additional fees (service and insurance) which I experienced as "hidden" fees. At least one on-line renter has commented negatively about the noise of the nearby train. This noise is intermittent and the kind that one can easily habituate to. On the positive side, compared to other nearby, more modern high-rises, there is more space between floors which seems to add ... read more

Verified Renter Amazon community within the building and love the location. Front desk staffing changes frequently. Less than satisfactory laundry room.

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 w... read more

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 t... read more

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 perso... read more
