About The Blackwood

Originally one of Chicago's most elegant 1920's hotels, The Blackwood high-rise apartments in Hyde Park exude the lavishness of the Art Deco style. Restored and updated with modern amenities including a 24-hour gym, laundry center and breathtaking lobby, it is the perfect integration of classic and contemporary living. These Hyde Park rentals offer both 1 bedroom apartments for rent and 2 bedroom apartments for rent. Carefully appointed finishes include granite counters, maple cabinetry, dishwashers, large mirrored closets and central air conditioning. The building's resident lounge, inviting hallways and fast maintenance staff also help make The Blackwood feel like home. Please set up a tour with a Mac properties leasing agent if you are interested in touring one of our Blackwood Hyde Park apartments, we currently offer 1 bedroom apartments for rent or 2 bedroom apartments for rent. We hope to welcome you to the neighborhood and help you make one of these elegant rentals your home.

Pretty Good, Not Perfect
August 30, 2015
Our apartment has a great view of the skyline and a modern feel. The lobby is quite pretty and the gym, lounge, and laundry room are great to have in building. The rent is a bit high for the amount of square footage, though water and Internet are included. We get a great breeze off the lake in summer and a lot of natural light. The building manager is attentive and they once again accept packages at the front desk, but the hours for front desk attendants can be a little sporadic. We love that ...
they allow our pets and let us paint the walls! Our rent goes up yearly, this year by about $150/month, so that is a bummer. So, there is a mix of good and bad; whether it is the place for you will depend on your priorities.
