Based on unsure illegally captured information they send a group in to rent a room next to the people and then start harassing them. They even listen to private conversations protected by HIPPA and your private protected business information and turn around and use that against you along with other personal information they gather and also pass it along to these common street criminals they hire to harass you even more so they can try and claim no legal responsibility. I discovered what they were doing and confronted them and was met with even harsher harassment, death threats, death threats against my parents, stalking, following me and cloning my devices and rerouting my internet to coverup their illegal activity. They even use their signal jammers to stop me from getting Uber or Order Food/Groceries. They are doing this to your Hotel Guests and the Residents of Private businesses. They use speakers to broadcast into your home them making suggestively illegal interactions with youth and also conversations and sounds of them using drugs to record and blackmail you. This has followed me through 3 states and cost me 4 homes and my job. They are even stealing your businesses private information. Call the Chicago Police Department, FBI, Attorney General and tell them Ryan Higgs told you about this as they reroute my calls, block them, hang-up on me after waiting 10 minutes on hold with 911, don't respond to online report submissions etc. This is going to cost the city Billions of dollars and has already cost everyone in Chicago their Civil Rights and Freedom that you are guaranteed.

This is our 4th winter renting with Ivy Residencies, formerly Rent Hyde Park. Every. Single…read more Winter. We have lived here, the ice in the back of the building builds up so badly that it's nearly impossible to safely exit the building or enter the laundry facilities. I've called twice in past couple of days and both times I was hung up on and was told there wasn't a property manager available. Last week from my window, I overheard maintenance say "I didn't think it would get this bad" in reference to the ice. How can that be true if I knew it would be this based on my experience from the past two years and the fact that winter happens every year in Chicago? The amount of ice that has accumulated over the past three weeks is unacceptable and negligent. Beyond simply accessing the entry and doing landry, if there were a fire, how would we safely exit. At least twice a week garbage and recycling is removed, where is the concern for them?  We all know and understand injuries that could occur from slipping on ice could be fatal. It is clear that Ivy Residencies does not care about the lives or the safety of their residents. In addition to not being able to safely exit my building through the back, we also have not had a working doorbell. How is this possible? How can one company care so little about the well being of the folx they rent to? It has been so convenient to live here the past few years, however, I feel that I should have access to basic safety elements including two safe entry/exit points and a doorbell. Please do better. The lives of your residents literally depend on it.

They are horrible. I applied for an apartment that's advertised as "luxury", yet the unit I was…read moregiven couldn't even pass a CHA inspection. They issued me a refund because they couldn't fix a refrigerator door and a wall outlet in time to pass inspection--and the work order wasn't even submitted until after the inspection. I also feel that I was treated unfairly because of my skin tone being white and assumptions about my cultural and racial background. My father was a tribal member of the Oklahoma Choctaw Nation, and assumptions were made about my culture that I found deeply inappropriate and offensive. On top of that, I feel like they played games with the paperwork and made the process unnecessarily difficult, seemingly to keep me from moving into one of their units. Instead of helping me find another apartment after their unit failed inspection, the only solution they offered was to issue me a refund. I'm a United States Army veteran. You would think that someone who served this country would receive a little more courtesy, professionalism, and respect when trying to secure housing. This entire experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing.

Love living at Hyde Park Tower Apartments. Many people complaining about the price but it is very…read morecomparable to similar apartments in Hyde Park. The cost of rent is an economy issue, since Hyde Park houses UChicago, demand is high which drives the cost of rent up. If you dont like the price, you won't find a better deal in this neighbourhood so start looking elsewhere. Secure, clean building. Lots of laundry machine in building (have never had to wait for a machine in my 11 months, plus they have a re-loadable payment card which is super convenient). Front desk and management staff are very friendly and personal. Maintenance is done in a timely fashion, and the maintenance staff are very professional. Parking is slightly over priced, but that goes with the hyde park territory again. Im glad though that they have parking available in the building. Close to amenities: banks, grocery stores, public transit literally right outside your door, starbucks, chipotle, + + + + : anything you need is in walking distance. Lots of units have gorgeous views of the lake, which is amazing to see every day. Cons: And I'm not even entirely sure if this IS a con.. but CURRENTLY there is lots of construction going on. Not a CON per se but it is loud and a little dusty in areas. Elevator delays during busy times due to one being serviced for the renos. Expected time to be finished in Dec 2016 and so far everything has been on time per management updates. Everything that is already completed (new gym, new lounge) is gorgeous. Love all the new renos and cant wait to see the completely finished product. Just wish they had put more equipment in the gym when re-done. A few high quality weight machines as well as yoga mats and **BOSU BALLS** and medicine balls.

They are utterly incompetent: They prepare accounts that are riddled with errors, and that are issued in pdf, i.e. not in excel. They do not keep accurate records of who has paid assessments---this can cause a lot of friction because it puts the onus on the Treasurer to figure out who is behind. They do not respond to emails. Their front office staff [two ladies on the front desk] despise their customers and performing any kind of task---even acknowledging receipt of notices. We have terminated our contract with them and will move to someone else... anyone else. There is no way to convey how much additional work and burden---and, even, emotional strain---they have imposed on our building as a consequence of their ineptitude. Stay clear.

I hardly ever had to deal with the people in the actual McKey and Poague office, but yes, they are running their business like it's still the 80's.

I originally called Joanne Bullen of the Ultimate Realty Group, LLC because of all her outstanding…read morereviews (average 4.9) on her web site - it is very unusual to find any professional with a 4.9 out of 5.0 rating. We'll my only comment is that Joanne deserves to be a 5.0+. My wife and I were fortunate enough to be represented by Joanne in the purchase of a condo residence for our daughter who will be attending U. of Chicago in the fall. Based on our experience we recommend her 100% without any reservations. Between my wife and me we have done at least 50 R.E. deals over the years and currently own 3 homes and one investment property. So, we have done business with LOTS of realtors. I myself was a realtor for about five years. So, again, lots of experience. We both think Joanne is as good as it gets - Reliable, knowledgeable, professional, intelligent, xlnt communicator AND, as a bonus, a pleasure to deal with personally. She pretty much makes herself available 24 / 7, a real rarity these days. Weather as a buyer like us or as a seller, do yourself a favor and give Joanne a call. And then be as loyal to her as you expect her to be to you. With her professional support you are sure to have a great real estate experience.

Key fobs are used for entry to the building and metal keys for the actual unit itself. Free street parking less than a block away can be found, just have to keep driving around to find it. The building is very large, yet quiet and spacious with a fitness room, laundry facilities, vending machines in the lobby and a front friendly desk person who is seldom at the desk, but that's OK since we didn't need any assistance while we were there. The building is old, but clean, and we saw no bugs inside our unit. The hallways are muggy, no air-conditioning in the halls. Management has large fans in the lobby to circulate air. Window air-conditioner units inside the apartments work great! The location is in a very safe part of Hyde Park with a café located right outside the building, a Mexican restaurant next-door and a sweet shop across the street, very walkable area to the lake as well.

Update- Mac has required residents to use an app to enter the building and elevators however after…read morea year and several iterations of the app I'm still finding myself standing outside of my building, connecting the buildings WiFi, signing in the app (with multi factor verification) to then enter the building. If the app isn't auto signing out, I also find myself unable to enter the building because within the keys there are none available causing me to sign out and back into the all. All of this just to get into my building. I've requested a fob multiple times now. Originally I was told none were available. But ever being trapped in the glass box that is the entry way in 95 degree heat with a toddler I've asked again. I was asked to go down to their office for a conversation about a fob... With things rarely being simple with Mac now there needs to be "approval" for me to get a fob. Approval for a key to enter the building I pay rent for a unit in?! Make it make sense Mac. Since the only way your team solves issues is after a poor online review please consider this now my 4th request for a fob.
