The only reason this gets one star is that the neighborhood is great and the apartment building is just steps away from public transportation.As the previous poster states, this building is extremely overpriced. The $1600 is actually for a one bedroom which they call a 2 bedroom because apartment features a den that doubles as a living room or bedroom. On top of that, you are charged common area maintenance which fluctuates month to month. THe costs range from $80 to $120. Some of the charges are ridiculous. An example would be charging for gas use when the stove is electric or "cooling" costs that was as high as $60 one month. I rarely turned on the air in my own apartment. When the property manager was questioned about some of the line items they couldn't provide an explanation. The offsite mangement company was contacted and the response was "I'll have to get back to you.", which of course they never did. I made the decision to move after about three months there. Add a parking space( a must if you have a car in Hyde Park) at $150 to $200 a pop and your monthly outlay is easily over $1800! Stupidly, I signed a 14 month lease, which I since found out was illegal. 12 months is the limit. I paid $300 deposit. When I moved out it was quickly apparant that I would never see that deposit again. Your unit is to be professionally cleaned. If not, they charge $140 ( to clean a small one bedroom, mind you). The carpet has to be professionally cleaned, if not, the cost is $60. So you pay for getting the apartment move in ready when most mgmt companies figure that in their rent costs. I was then informed I would be charged for residual CAM costs for the mystery charges I previously mentioned. In the end, I was nickled and dimed for another $45 bucks.Most of the door and maintenance staff were friendly and helpful. However onsite managers are changed there as often as folks change underwear. I was there for a year and saw at least three different onsite managers. The company that manages the place needs to be replaced or they will continue to lose good tenants. They can do so much more in gving tenants the opportunity to meet one another or try to connect tenants to all that's happening in Hyde Park.My advice would be to look elsewhere for an apartment with better value and managment that doesn't look to fleece its tenants.
