Windermere was a great place to live. Quiet, large units, clean, but the tenants that have been moving in lately do not care about the building. My neighbor leaves her trash, old furnishings, and bedding in the middle of the hallway. I have alerted the manager… See More

AVOID THIS PLACE!! We lived at Windermere for 2 years and it was a living hell. We were burglarized by a neighbor on our floor and the management refused to do anything about it when presented with proof. This person also stole our laundry from the… See More

Good building. I've lived in Windermere for a few years now and it's been great. Positives: safe building (with doorman), well-maintained, responsive staff (building manager, doorman, maintenance, etc), laundry room on each floor, small fitness center, lot/garage parking available for a fee, close to public transit,… See More

I decided to move up a little bit in the Hyde Park rental world without moving out of Hyde Park, and I think the Windermere is a great balance of South Side living with North Side fixings (and prices.) While it's not a cheap building, and… See More

Thanks for the review. We love the antique elevators, but agree they can be "wacky". We made some upgrades in the elevator control room since your review and believe the elevators are working well now.

I have lived here for two and a half years and I absolutely love it. I have lived in other MAC buildings and I can definitely say that the attention I get here at Windermere is superior to other buildings. We have coffee in the lobby… See More

I lived at Windermere from 2007-2008. On the whole it was very quiet. The only time it was noisy was when they were doing construction on my floor, in which case the sound of jack hammers was not infrequent. The gym on the top floor was… See More

Windermere House use to be a beautiful historial building, until MAC Properties took over. Have done a lot of unnecessary renovation taking away the historical beauty of the building. Nor does MAC cares about its tenants, just high price rent. See More

I've been here for over a year, and really liked it when I first moved in--- but that was before the newest management and all the construction. They've gotten a lot stricter about smaller things (like you can't take carts / bikes / dogs / basically… See More

People should be allowed to smoke in their own apartments, IF the smoke did not stink up the entire floor. But it does, and for that reason, the building should be smoke free. Why is renovation taking forever? What a waste of money. The new carpeting… See More

The new MAC management is terrible. People can now smoke in the building whenever they want, the management refuses to adequately screen new residents--some people are really shady.

We took your comments to heart and decided to renovated apartments too. Our new kitchens and bathrooms retain their original charm, but have the modern touches you expect in a first rate property.
