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.

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.

I wish I could give a lower rating. Avoid under any and all circumstances. HPPM charges many fees…read morebut yet slacks on up keeping their properties 1. It's essential that you keep all your rent paid receipts. They lost our rent payment and hounded us for additional payment until we produced our receipt. 2. Although we paid gas through their online portal, we received notices from the gas company for gas shut off due to non-payment. Obviously HPPM was not paying the bill. 3. Every night I fall asleep to the sound of the interior walls crumbling. 4.The apartment was not cleaned prior to us moving-in. 5. I have spotted many dead roaches in the apartment. 6. There are mice. 7. There are holes and cracks in the walls from previous tenants. 8. The roof leaks causing serious water damages and active water intrusion. While this properties is in a good location I have to believe that there are better property management companies in Hyde Park that are more responsive, up keep their properties and do not lose your rent payments.

I've never lived in an apartment before renting out the one I have now with Mac Properties, but I…read moredon't feel much on a day-to-day basis to be lacking. The staff I've interacted with (Amari and Tanisha for calls and work orders, Stefan for maintenance) have been very lovely, quite friendly and polite, and they do make me feel quite cared about. I'm usually extremely anxious about making or picking up phone calls, but I do tend to pick up the ones that seem to be follow-ups from Mac about work orders because the staff I've interacted with make me feel much more at ease than usual. I also find maintenance to be very personable. Stefan and the others who have come by have been very attentive and thorough with the work they've done, and they always verbally check in with us if we're home when they come in, to make sure that they've completed work orders exactly as we wanted. Mac's resident portal isn't great, the help articles are atrociously unhelpful, and I don't really understand why they ask for preferences around contact for work orders because they always email and call regardless of what you indicate. The lawn is always somewhat overrrun with weeds, regardless of the season, so that's a little annoying as well. But maintenance is always incredibly prompt, and usually when the weather gets nicer, someone adds some nice plants to the flower pots outside my unit, which I appreciate. So overall.... I don't exactly feel like Mac Properties totally makes looking after residents their very top priority, but I don't have much to complain about either. I wish we had central a/c and more control over heating, but I suppose it's an old building and that's not really within their control. And I really do appreciate the staff. They're probably the biggest upside to living where I do.

As of February 5th, this issue still persists with no genuine effort from the landlord to resolve…read moreit. Instead, I am met with avoidance, disregard, and false claims of completed work orders, while they insist there is no mouse infestation or evidence of mice in my unit. The landlord continues to deny that there is a problem. They refuse to credit my account for the cost of materials I purchased on my own to protect my home. Calls and work orders remain unaddressed, and they mark them as complete without any resolution. This situation has been ongoing since May 2025. It has become so severe that mice are now openly visible, as if they pay rent, and they walk around the traps. This is a health hazard, and I can't even stay in my home comfortably. I have posted a new video that substantiates my experience thus far.

I lived in HPT for 3 years…read more First, the good part. Nice view, good location to the U of C and the staff (maintenance and front desk) are very kind and professional. So why 2 out of 5 1 trust nothing you are told. Make sure you have everything in writing because later on it will just be "oh you did not understand it right" or "no way we told you this". Few examples, you pay utilities that are not reflecting your actual usage, when we were considering HPT we were told that utilities will likely never pass a certain $ amount, they were always about $60-80 more. Another example we were told that the increase of rent is likely to be around 2-5%, and it was about 10% increase. 2 this is where they get you. They keep adding all these things you do not need "smart locks" (cause a key is too low tech), face recognition cameras (the one on the main door did not work for over a month and you could not come into the building unless someone was at the lobby). So then when it comes to renew, they added upgrades and such so they have a good reason to increase. 3 smoking. As much as they claim to be a "smoke free" they don't do anything about this. They keep saying tell us if you smell smoking we will take care of this. In reality they say that they can't find where it is coming from and just send out an email every so often. 4 security deposit. forget about getting all of it. $190 cleaning fee (mandatory that no one tells you about when you sign the lease). Of course the crazy amount of utilities will be added, and maintenance charges. Of course, if they make a mistake and don't give you the right amount you will wait weeks for them to resolve it.... Just try to be late on a rent and see how much they charge extra.... 5 during the pandemic they closed the access to all facilities (which is of course the right thing to do), but of course your rent kept covering all those facilities you never got to use. Also it took them over a year to have hand sanitizer accessible for everyone. 6 It is still not safe. We had some violent crimes in the building. They try to be better about it, but basically the responsibility go to the doorman, and there is so much they can do. 7 so much trash outside. This is not HPT fault, a the park across the street + chicago winds, you will be seeing trash all day every day. If you have a dog be ready to hold it close 8 you can hear everything. paper thin walls + vents that carry sounds from other apts. 9 want to get packages? You got to pay $50 per year for a useless locker. USPS will not use it, fedex will not pick packages from it, amazon will usually leave the packages out and the doorman will have to put them in. So it is secure.... sure.... but most providers won't bother using it So you pay a lot extra for a newish nice high rise, but you will end up paying between 100-300 more each month on extras in addition to rent (utils $150, parking and electricity that you also pay on your own) If you must live in a high rise it is a nice building with nice location, but be ready for a big rent increase and high utils. There are bigger and nicer properties in the area for a better price. Oh and best of luck getting the money when it is time to get your security deposit

Please note, I never had a single bad neighbor experience from 2018 - 2020. In the worst instance, I had the police mistakenly come to my door due to a suspected domestic violence (the noise was actually from my neighbor). I feel very bad for the families here. I've seen a few of them on my floor only stay a few months, thinking that this is family-friendly place (it is not). I am willing to update this review, but I believe this is a fair summary of my overall feelings right now. (FYI I'm on the 10th floor)

The…read moreapartments are nice for their style (modern and smallish), and the design choices are really clean and beautiful. But I give the building only 1 star because the building management is terrible. Just the worst ever. They are unresponsive, then condescending, then dismissive, in turn. They seemingly spend a lot of time trying to regulate residents' innocent behavior, but very little time doing the things that you expect of building management-- addressing noise complaints, the always pervasive smell of weed in the elevator shaft and air ducts, and cleanliness of common areas. Or getting things done (like parking) when they say that they are going to get things done. Knowing what I know now, I'd opt for a slightly less attractive apartment with drastically more competent management, any day. I only wish that someone would have clued me in before it was too late. (* Though I won't harp on this, I will say in response to the below that *no one* ever came into my apartment to check the noise level, even though I extended an open invitation to maintenance to do so. Yelp readers, I'm sure, are savvy enough to see that two people, who have no reviews and no friends, gave 5 star reviews after my honest review. I'm sure that nobody at the Del Prado gave them comps for that, not at all...)
