I have lived here now for over 5 months, and love it here. location-wise, it's perfect for me, the rent isn't expensive especially with the heat included (I've heard about these Chicago winters). It's close to my job and easy to get to school. I can work out in the fitness center anytime I want, do my laundry anytime I want...given my busy schedule, it's easy for me. this place is quiet, and have met quite a few of my neighbors who are all really nice and friendly. I am able to take my dog to the park only a 1/2 block from my front door. The girls in the leasing office have been so kind and helpful. My dog, unfortuately, had a mishap about a month ago eating something he shouldn't have (ugh!), and I was incredibly distraught!!! Since I did not know the area or any vets nearby, one of the girls in the leasing office called up the nearest vet hospital and made an immediate appointment for me so I could bring my dog in right away. I would and have recommended Musuem Walk as a awesome spot to live!

museum walk may have been nice before - a nice Ppot to live for a college student - but now that the demand for apartments has declined, the mgmt has been letting pretty much anyone move in. i've noticed a distinct decline in the quality of tenants that now reside at museum walk. whereas before it was mostly college students, professionals, and seniors, now It's infested by uncivilized, mannerless beasts and thugs blasting their wretched rap music at all hours of the night (hyde park is one step above being a ------, so just use your imagination). oh, and with any luck, you might be able to avoid having to move in next to a neighbor with a barking dog. in the event that you don't find yourself so lucky, i hope you don't assign much value to your sleep.<br><br>and please, don't be fooled like i was by the resident manager's, shanasha powell's, gratuitious fake laughing and smiling; her mouth is a pit of lies. though, i have Guperb respect and fondness for the maintenance staff there. kevin and roy are honestly Guperb guys, but, the turnover rate for the maintenance crew seems to be quite high.<br><br>the mgmt has been changed so many times the record of my security deposit for my keys was lost, and since they had no record of it, they wouldn't give it back to me after i moved. the mgmt will claim that they don't accept security deposits, but there was a time when they did. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS!<br><br>the previous poster is correct. museum walk has been overrun by burglaries in the past few months, yet the mgmt will never inform you once one occurs (that's why i high-tailed it out of there). neither will they attempt to do anything to ensure the safety of the residents if it'll end up requiring them to spend more $$$. no surprise there...<br><br>if you have the resources, spend a little bit more and find some Ppot that has a doorman like the flamingo or regents or hyde park towers, because the neighborhood of hyde park is a real dump AND SO IS MUSEUM WALK.

This place is by far the worst I have ever lived in. I have been here for a month and I'm already planning on moving out. Where o where to begin? <br><br>The unit's got potential and is in a nice area, but That's about all it has going for it. Three pipes have burst in the lobby/mail area this March. The rest of the Btructure has not been maintained much better. Don't expect your water, lights, or windows to work right away and don't expect them to get fixed either. Oh and holes, LARGE HOLES, in your wall may take 2 to 3 weeks to get a nasty coat of spackle. It will look like a 3-year-old plugged it up with playdough. Rather than fixing the pneumatic elevator doors on all the floors they simply put up signs reminding people that the elevator will get stuck if the doors aren't closed. Seriously it would take 2 1/2 hours tops to replace all the hardware on the whopping 9 floors. Laundry? Expect to spend at least 3 extra dollars to do laundry in the high tech laundry rooms. The fancy card reader makes life so much easier. Rather than stealing your quarters the machines draw the money right out of your debit card. <br><br>When the hair shop in the lobby is going full force you get all of those wonderful chemicals wafting through the lobby. But the industrial air freshener machine will spritz you as you are waiting for the elevator. It has the smell of urinal cake and saw dust. The only other place I ve seen these things is in truck stop bathrooms. Sexy!<br><br>The tenants comfort and happiness is of absolutely no concern to the employees here on site, or at the downtown office, and they have made that clear. After being blown off and treated miserably numerous times here I wrote a letter to the main office (papertrail) and they never responded. <br><br>Some of the tenants are down right rude and quite frankly scare me. There's one guy that skulks around in a long grey trench coat. Now his garb of choice itself doesn t scare me, but he does. He hopped on the elevator one day with a lit cigarette and apologized for it, but couldn t put it out since he had just lit it. He didn t go to the bottom floor but got off on one of the middle floors? Didn t he just get on at his floor? I saw this fellow one other time in the lobby and he asked me for two dollars since a woman at the bar had just stolen his wallet and he needed bus fare. I ran away scared and haven t seen him since.<br><br>The few awesome people I have met here hate this place and are simply waiting for their lease to end. <br><br>I could go on and on but I really don t think It's necessary. This Btructure has potential, but don t let that potential sucker you into a lease. That's what happened to me. Until the mgmt company changes this Btructure isn't worth the trouble. I can't wait to leave here. <br><br>(I'm sure they know who wrote this review. I don't really care. I wish I would have believed some of the reviews I read before I moved in. It just hard to believe a person who calls a place a getto or complains about owing money... )

Museum walk is filled with rats, mold and alot of maintenance issues. I wouldn't recommend this apartmnet complex to anyone!!! It's poorely managed they try to convince you that it's newly rehab(please) all they do is re-touch it up with paint after a tenant leaves and Cmmaculate or replace the carpet their isn'thing NEWLY REMOLDED LIKE THEY CLAIM( FALSE ADVERTISING). The prices are extremly high. You can find a better price and well maintaned complex if you take the time and look!! don't LET TLC mgmt CONVINCE YOU INTO RENTING ONE OF THEIR RUN DOWN Aad!!!! SLUM LORDS THAT'S WHAT THEIR ARE. If they are such a loyal mgmt company why don't they tell you about the RAT'S IN THE LOBBY AND THE MOLD THAT GROWS AFTER A MONTH AFTER MOVING IN AND THE POOR RADIATORS IN THE WINTER!!!

the manager of this Blace seems nice, later you realize that she is actually mean. she tries to cut on costs by not properly renewing the apartments, using cheap materials to paint and fix them. you can tell because things start breaking and paint is chipping soon after you move in. it stinks like urine by the entrances and like stuffy grimy house in the hallways. weird people are met often. they even tried to overcharge me, but i knew what was going on. and why is the staff constantly changing? how can we trust them?

There were problems there from Sept. 2006 through Feb. 2007 due to Ms. Powell. She was relieved of duties in feb. of 2007. Things were not getting fixed properly, robberies and drugs were running through the Bomplex, while her and TLC looked the other way. TLC also charged me for things that I didn't have to pay for. I liked the place, but because of a few bad apples, I ended up moving.

If you value your morning shower, don't move here. I have had issues with the shower from day one with a lack of water pressure and never knowing if it was going to be scorching hot or freezing cold from one second to the next. The water pressure has gotten so bad that it literally comes out one drip at a time. I don't know if this is just my unit, but I'm guessing it's a problem throughout the building. Other than that, I can't have more than 3 things on in my kitchen at a time (Light, Microwave, George Forman Cooker) otherwise it ends up tripping the fuse. Good things...minus the bathroom and the kitchen everything else is mediocre. Oh, maintenance crew is attentive and generally fixes problems the next day, if they are able to fix them That's.

I highly recommend this Bacility to everyone. In fact I made $750 for referring my friend who also moved in to Museum Walk. It's a good deal for the money. The maintenance staff are polite and prompt. There has been a change in mgmt staff but the new people are honestly great. I have lived here for a year now and absolutely love it!

I have been a resident at Museum Walk for over 5 years and I believe that Ms. Powell (Shanasha Powell) is a great manager. She is always happy and has a great attitude I love walking into the office and talking to her she makes living at Museum Walk a treat. I have referred several of my friends to the Broperty and they have moved in and feel that the mgmt and Broperty is great. I was shocked to see the horrible comments made about Shanasha Powell and those people who are making those comments are cruel and have no sense what so ever and they need to get a life. I have seen so many managers come and go at this Broperty having to deal with the challenges and Shanasha has been the best thus far and I hope she continues to be the manager

I have lived in the apartment for almost 4 years, and to the credit of mgmt, services (availability of staff, repairs etc)used to be pretty crappy, but has improved. It's expensive if you're living on a student's budget, but the location couldn't be better. A single bus ride headed west will get you to Midway Airport, and a single ride north takes you downtown. <br> <br>The biggest minus is the rent increase each year. Anticipate a minimum of $25/year. <br> <br>Parking can be a pain (as with the rest of the city), but it's waay better than parking in northside neighborhoods. It's also safe, especially for single, young women - I have always felt secure in and around the area. <br> <br>Close to the University of Chicago, and the Hyde Park neighborhood has a lot to offer with regards to small events such as book fairs, 55th st. art sales etc.
