Surround yourself by nature and open space. Solstice on the Park's premier location in Hyde Park puts 500 acres of nature at your front door. Your front yard is Jackson Park's playgrounds, gardens, paths, lagoons, bird trails, sporting courts and beaches. Communing with nature is as easy as stepping out your front door. By car, bike or public transportation, Hyde Park is only 15 minutes south of The Loop- but it feels like another world. Everything you need and want is easily walkable, but with peaceful tree-lined streets, historic architecture and positive energy abounding, you might just decide to slow down and enjoy the stroll. The views from Solstice on the Park's apartments are a tapestry of trees, sky, sun, water, and Chicago's iconic skyline, interwoven with Hyde Park's magnificent architecture. Our apartments have all the modern appointments you expect in luxury housing: quartz countertops, washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances, wood floors, and smart thermostats. It's the design, however, that sets our apartments apart. Angled windows reduce energy consumption and large apartments with open floorplans allow sunlight deep inside, illuminating the softness of the natural wood finishes. Expect a better lifestyle at Solstice on the Park. Our 24-hour lobby attendant will welcome you home each day, ready to help. Solstice on the Park has enough common area to satisfy any mood. Ride a Peloton bike in our state-of-the art fitness center, get social in our resident game room, sip a latte in our cafe or read by the fireplace in our library.

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.
