Stunningly ornate terra cotta details accent the red brick facade of Kenwood Court, creating an exciting, dynamic sense of historic presence. Originating in the early 1900's, the exteriors have been restored while the interior spaces have been gutted and redesigned to suit a contemporary lifestyle. Located along public transportation routes, across the street from a park, and just two blocks from the University of Chicago, Kenwood Court is also just steps away from Hyde Parks 53rd Street Corridor, known for its eclectic mix of local restaurants and shops.

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.
