I have all inclusive pricing at $500 per month for my furnished rooms.my rooms are on the smaller side as well ( 10 x10), so this is good pricing for me.  I charge $50 extra per month for leases shorter than 1 year ( 2 people have done this so far I'm my 1 year of house hacking). I control the thermostat and got central AC added to help keep costs down since I include utilities. 

in the ward I suggest looking around the area where the university shuttle goes. Students living there usually do so because of the shuttle service. So stick to the area southern area of the 19th ward- around brooks, Genesee street, Genesee park blvd, and Scottsville road. There is an area in PLEX on the other side of Genesee street where students live as well, around Barton and on Plymouth ( the Riverview dorm is over there) 

Do you think asking 600-700 a month per room in highland park would be too much? It would include W/D, utilities, parking and light furnishing? 

For a 3 bedroom you could probably push $600 a room and being lightly furnished like Alyssa said will be more appealing to college students. If you went 5 bedroom you may be able to get $500 a room but harder of course to keep filled where 3 bedrooms usually get rented pretty fast. Make sure you have an egress in basement if going to add bedrooms.

How many bedrooms? Is it walking distance which I would say is any road south of Highland Drive between Mt. Hope and South Ave?

I house hack in the 19th ward near the hospital/ university. 

I suggest offering furnished rooms if you're able to. 

Also look into renting to travel nurses, I did it once and enjoyed the experience.
