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.

Pretty Good, Not Perfect

August 30, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com

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.
