    Val N.

    I have found cockroaches in my Regents park apartment twice over a 4 year period. Today I found another one, and when I sent a work order to Mac to have it addressed they informed me that it would be up to 72 hours before they could send an exterminator, and that they do not work on weekends, so it would be up to one week before someone could come address the issue. Mac does not care about their tenants, nor do they treat them well. Mac has taken away bike parking, they are closing the pool, the elevators have been under construction for over a year ( and only 1 has worked for the past several weeks, so it takes up to 30 minutes to get to and from your apartment if you live on upper floors), and they have removed guest parking. The view is amazing, but it is NOT WORTH IT! Do yourself a favor and do not rent from Mac Properties.

    View to the point from my apt.

    I have live in the Regent's Park North Tower from 1992 to 1996. I had to move for personal reasons. I liked RP so much that we decided to go back in June 2019. We live now on the 34th floor and the view we are enjoying from our windows towards Lake Michigan is unique and amazing, it is probably one of the best in the City of Chicago. The staff is truly wonderful, concierges such as Lewis and his co-wokers, Security as Nicolas and his team, maintenance such as Thomas, Donald, Leroy and all of their team are professional, discreet and pleasant. All of the very patient with sometimes having to deal with unruly tenants or visitors. Ms. Laura J. gave a perfect description of the qualities of the staff. Yes, there are problems with regard to the amenities. I believe it is due to the pandemic and the great number of packages received. This problem is probably not unique to RG and will revert to its normality later. The swimming pool has been closed due to the lack of discipline of the tenants who invited friends and family. The charming and extremely well maintained Bergen Garden is reopened, but no-one visits it. Not wanting to be controversial but only fair, I truly give "a minus 5 stars" to the reviewers such as Ethan E., Steven R., Lorri P., Yue L., etc. for their negative writing. Their comments are entirely unfair to the members of the staff who goes out of their ways to give us an outstanding service. They are classy people unlike many graduate students of UofC and others who won't hesitate to close the elevator door on you when you are a senior citizen. I am myself from abroad and do have an accent but I have never experienced any rudeness or discrimination from any members of the staff. It is no longer a luxury building as it used to be in 1996 as the number of the members of the staff has been drastically reduced. The towers being under a different management. Indeed, it is not the Peninsula Shanghai, but it is nice. I heard their is a new Residents Manager who I am certain will correct the currents flaws. I have never found any cockroaches in my apartment and if there were any, it would not be the fault of the building, "cockroaches travel in suitcases". I certainly like the mixture of this American and international community. The pandemic is affecting the whole world including RP. May be Ethan T. should have considered living in another Chicago area before moving to RG and not turning his review into a political issue.... his review is more than unfair. ... I hope for him he will get his Master Degree or PhD soon and be able to go back to a "Real Luxury apartment" in the city of his dreams.

    Regents Park (RP) is an ok place to live nothing more - nothing less. First, its definition of luxury is not completely w/o backing but it is definitely viewed as slant. If the 90s or early 00s, this would be the epitome of luxury for its price range. Yet it is 2015, so what any normal person would expect to have in 2015, RP lacks and then in the alternative, it has what you would not expect to have.' The GOOD: The area is grand. Hyde Park has a lot to do with a movie theatre and a busy-active 53rd Street around the corner. The park is very nice and across the street. RP's staff is very nice & helpful. Doormen/ladies, maintenance, resident services, and the leasing office are filled with nice people. The pool/hot tub/fitness room (not center/gym) are all very nice and convenient. They are an elevator away, and the grill is a solid effort. Yet with grubhub, you can more variety at your door. And I have had a gym membership for over a decade that I actually use so if you are into fitness, you will be disappointed that the variety is slim to medium and the free weights do not go heavy enough. The in-building store has saved my cooking plenty of nights. It is not low low prices but there is worst. Now to what it does not have in terms of modern convenience, no DVR or ability to customize your television package. And the satellite is inconsistent on a sunny day with no or minimal cloud cover. Either way, I work too much to watch shows when they are actually broadcasted. So there go the shows I really do enjoy. The internet is very fast and included in the rent, which is nice. Yet can probably get a friend's login for online viewing on hulu or something else b/c the building has a single contract with Dish Network w/o online viewing access. Next, sometimes I am surprised when my dishes come out completely clean in the dishwasher. I am not talking about top rack dishes blocked by overfilling the bottom. Dishes rinsed and partially cleaned on the bottom rack going in come out on the dirty side of even. Also, spiders call the exterior of the building home. I have not opened my windows all summer b/c the babies are small enough to get through the screen. I have a toddler child and do not feel risking an allergic reaction if she is bite. Of course, the building sprayed for bugs but it is a problem/infestation I never experienced before. Another thing, the leasing office will tell you that there is a cap on heating/cooling. This is true. But when they tell you that if you use less than the cap that you will pay under the cap, that is a boldface lie. The building charges a pro rata share of your apartment's square footage compared to all the occupied apartments in the whole building against the buildings single utilities bill. The building is not set up for individualized heating/cooling costs per apartment. If the building as a whole uses less heating/cooling to result in a pro rate cost below your cap, then you would pay less. Yet this is Chicago and what are the odds all the residents conserve consistently? If anything, RP will ask you to take its word that it will not overcharge you b/c it is not set up to show you this one mega-bill for the building to prove its utility accounting is fair & accurate. Additionally, do not believe any picture of the inside of the unit. The building is out of date - very out of date. The kitchen is probably mid 90s era. Maybe there are some up-to-date apartments in one of the two towers, but I have not seen one nor was shown one. The parking is atrocious. The building charges more than a office tower downtown. And it is Hyde Park, so parking during the day is not that bad but after 5pm - midnight - pray! Last bit: - I never had any issues with cigarette smoke in the building, that may be isolated based upon certain bad residents. Yet it would be unfair to expect RP to have cameras in every stairwell of over 60 floors of 2 buildings

It was working when we toured, but we have not seen it operational at any point since becoming residents. * Hot tub cleanliness: On February 28, 2026, when we turned on the hot tub jets, a grimy black film resembling dirt began accumulating in the water. I took photos that night (see attached). This raised serious concerns about maintenance and cleanliness. * Swimming lessons representation and lack of response: During our tour in November 2025, a leasing staff member told us that free swimming lessons were offered to renters, and we confirmed this multiple times because it mattered to us. After moving in, an onsite swimming instructor told us that, to his understanding, there are no free lessons. When we mentioned we had been told the lessons were free and asked whether he had heard similar questions from other residents, he told us yes. We emailed management on February 19, 2026 asking how to enroll or to clarify whether free lessons are offered, and as of March 1, 2026, we have not received any response. In other replies to reviews that complained about amenities, the rental office has said the hotel manages the amenities. But these amenities are still advertised as part of the residential experience, and from a resident perspective the distinction doesn't change the outcome--we relied on what was represented when deciding where to live. If these issues are resolved or clarified, I will update this review. For now, prospective residents should independently verify the current status and availability of any amenities that are important to them.

She brings such positive energy and professionalism that instantly set the tone for a great living experience. She's also just fun to talk to, carries a welcoming attitude, quick follow-ups, and deep knowledge of the building made the leasing process smooth and enjoyable. Beyond just the leasing experience, the building itself is a gem. The location is unbeatable -- close to everything, yet just far enough removed to feel like a peaceful retreat in the city. And the views are absolutely stunning, whether it's sunrise, sunset, the unobstructed views of the city skyline never get old Serena is always upbeat, helpful, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience for residents. She sets a high standard, not just for leasing agents, but for customer service in general.

My fiance and I have had issues since day 1. To name a few: -The Resident lounge is actually an employee lounge throughout the day as that is the only space the employees have to go to. -The grills have been broken since day 1. You have to bring down your own lighter, pick up the metal grates with your hands, and then light it to actually get it to work. -Once snow started in Chicago, the management team would not have the snow removed from common spaces making the grills, etc. inaccessible. -The key FOBs don't actually give you access to anything. I don't even know why they give them to all the residents when they don't work to get you into any of the common spaces. -They will randomly do renovations on a floor without providing any of the surrounding apartments a notice.

This is the only building on the planet with no freight/move-in elevators so they take the other elevator completely out of commission giving ONE elevator to 18 busy floors of 20ish units. I've waited 10+ minutes just to get in the elevator and have been late for work on multiple occasions because they give the elevator to people moving in during PEAK hours. To add insult to injury, the cold/unkind and totally apathetic leasing office takes the elevator ONE FLOOR UP AND DOWN instead of using the stairs. All the residents constantly look at each other in disbelief every time it happens. They never say hi to anyone and inconvenience residents on a daily basis. Resident Events are nonexistent and when they do, they're either BYOB (seriously?) cold cheap pizza or 1 seltzer. Gee, thanks! I really feel the appreciation and value of my $2908/mo for one small bedroom. Last but not least, between the drunk people fighting leaving LIQR Box next door and the addiction clinics lining the street - this is a pocket of River North that is totally unsafe. There are ALWAYS issues out front and was even accosted by someone mentally aill walking to my car out front one day. I called Neha in the leasing office (also the biggest culprit of riding the elevator one floor up and down) to help me get the garage open to run in. It was laughable how little she cared, zero sense of urgency and didn't even ask if I was okay or follow up with me. Why hire people who clearly don't give a flying f about residents or their jobs? What's the point? Skip the overpriced bedrooms, unfriendly leasing office, lack of any resident appreciation and concern for you as a human being and go literally anywhere else. There are a ton of beautiful and amazing buildings I wish I lived in instead of Niche. Their only saving grace is the amazing front desk staff (Sherrice and Durandt) and maintenance team which has kept me here. I wish I never lived here, the office team here is TERRIBLE and the only apartment I've ever regretted signing a lease with. RUN!

Even with outside temps in the 30s & 40s and windows open, our south-facing apartment reached 82°F during the day and stayed at 76°F overnight. When we requested an early lease termination due to a medical condition that makes me sensitive to heat, management refused, falsely stating that allowing it would be discrimination against other tenants. They also refused any cost assistance to transfer units, despite the high cost and effort of having to move again. Even with a portable A/C and windows open, the temperature never drops below 74°F and still climbs to 80°F daily. It's made working from home impossible and sleeping uncomfortable. If temperature control or transparency matters to you, think twice before signing here -- particularly for south-facing units.
