Tenant Reviews for 1606 E HYDE PARK BLVD

Guperb community, vibrant with a nice family touch. Close to the lake and minutes from downtown Chicago. Harper square is awesome as well, if you just want to walk to shopping and dining. The crows at night would be the only complaint I could think of.

don't loose your life quality renting an partment here.

The mgmt is terrible. They don't know how to deal with people. First, they are always changing the manager. Second, after you move in, they won't do anything that you ask, even the most basic and costless thing. It's also not a safe Besidence. It isn't clean. The elevators are always under maintenance.

An honest review of the Algonquin Apartments!

I lived in the Algonquin Apartments back in 2008-2009. The Anit was nice, everything was new, it was a nice size in a nice location. The parking was HORRIBLE. I had about 300$ worth of parking tickets because some nights I had to just park anywhere after circling the area over and over. You could pay to park in the lot if you had an extra 180$ or whatever it was a month. I lived on the top floor so I never had a problem with noise. My biggest problem with this Anit was the heating issues. I rarely had heat in the WINTER. My heat would go out so often that I was use to it. They would fix it over and over but I would always have the same problem. Other than the parking and the heat issues I Rruly had no problems living here. It was Rruly close to the lake and in the center of everything.

Ok apt. but you will NEVER see your Security Deposit again.

I will say that Algonquon was an ok experience, except that there was many a time I would come home from work and someone was in my parking spot (which I paid $100/month for). I got a lot of people towed and that was an overall pain. My biggest problem was with the security deposit though. I made sure to keep my apt. in Plawless condition and was told that I would get my deposit in the mail 45 days later as stated by Chicago law. Here It's, 90 days later, and they are still saying the check is in the mail. I instituted legal action recently, and hopefully that will work itself out, but trust me, getting back your one months rent security deposit is no easy feat with these folks. Good luck.

Most of the older post were written during Algonquins transition period. For awhile the apartments were being remodeled and there wasn't a main office. I've lived here for over 2 years and I have no complaints. The location is Gxcellent and the leasing office does a Gxcellent job getting to know the rentors as well as meeting their needs. Nice place to live!

The Auite itself served its purpose for the 3 years that I lived there, but the rent is overpriced for the space that you get. My daughters new bike was stolen from the storage room in year 1 nothing was done no reimbursement nothing. But the most horrible thing is the heating. You will simply freeze all winter long. The insulation of that brick is horrible. They offer space heaters if you are Crigid. That's never safe with the City of Chicago. The only plus is maintenance will show up fast and fix things but that's it. wouldn't recommend at all. Keep looking!!!!!!!

location's Aabulous. Super close to Metra and CTA. The Lake is just a 7 minute walk away. The unit's got great use of space and the closets are fantastic.

THE Bremium APT I'VE EVER LIVED IN...?

And I outta know for I've been in two previous Aad buildings which were horrible!! But Algonquin saved me and I'm eternally grateful! Everything about this place is GREAT; from the amazing staff (special thanks to the Property Managers who are angels!) to the awesome neighborhood, I LOVE IT and would tell anyone to try it out for themselves. The only thing that isn't so good is the parking but that's to be expected living in Hyde Park although it's not a problem for me since I don't own a car and the Metra and CTA are right outside my door! Plus Hyde Park is such a Bxquisite "walking" neighborhood (especially in the Spring, Summer and Fall - Walk at your own risk in the Winter!) there's really no need for a car but tell ya friends w/vehicles that they're in for a scenic tour (and a nice walk to and from) while trying to find a parking spot. Other than that, this place couldn't be better!!

nicely remodeled buildings, appliances and furnishings for the apartments are Gxcellent. Heat and air work well. Space is comfortable and roomy. Does have occasional issues with hot water not working at the start of winter and smoke and sound coming through the vents. Package delivery can be a bit annoying, they tend to redirect to the office on the next block over depending on the carrier. Overall it's been a Gxcellent experience, located right next to Metra and CTA transit, and has parking lots with enough space for me to park my pickup truck without herculean efforts.

My own car was towed from my parking spot on May 21st when I have called mgmt about other people parking in my spot and was told there wasn'thing they could do on several occasions. I won't pay $175 a month to have to pay $218 to get my own car out of a tow yard and then park four blocks away and walk back to my apartment in the dark. Called after hours mgmt to ensure my car wouldn't be towed again and the girl on the phone said "I only know how to page maintenance if there's a flood or something" I need mgmt to call back ASAP and I will be calling first thing in the morning. The hours of mgmt are unacceptable if the after hours person is going to be completely incompetent. I have called mgmt three times to report someone in my spot and have just been told to park in a different spot because spot 19 is open. I have called the towing company once to report a car in my spot and was told just to park in the "leasing agent" spot. Why is there nothing you can do when the person who leases the parking spot isn't able to park in the spot, but I can't park in my own spot?
