Set back from the street, this building welcomes residents up the solid front stairs and past its facade that reflects the clean designs of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The warm brick exterior creates a play between light and shadow, adding visual interest and depth through recessed masonry patterns. Limestone keystones articulate major window openings, and a landscaped lawn provides a spot to relax or absorb neighborhood activities all just a few minutes from Lake Michigan, public transportation and the mix of restaurants and cafes along 53rd Street.

Bordering Washington Park to the East, Hyde Park is a popular and culturally diverse South Side community. Lush, spacious parks and the University of Chicago campus dominate the neighborhood. Although there is a wide selection of luxury communities, there are many apartments and rental houses that are surprisingly affordable, attracting students, faculty, staff, and any renters looking for a good deal.
This small park-like neighborhood is rich with history. Hyde Park is home to one of Chicago’s most famous landmarks: The Museum of Science and Industry, the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. Hyde Park was also home to the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, several Nobel Prize winners, and former President Barack Obama. The neighborhood is surrounded by beautiful green spaces, lush foliage, and lakefront parks with small beaches. Midway Plaisance Park is a long stretch of parkland with sports facilities and an outdoor skating rink.
