Hyde Park map

Hyde Park Neighborhood Overview

Square Whispers, Graeter's, Porsche Prams

🧭Bordered by: I-71 and Evanston west, Dana Avenue and Norwood northwest, Wasson Road and Oakley north, Red Bank Expressway and Madisonville east, Linwood Avenue and Observatory Avenue with Mount Lookout south, O'Bryonville and East Walnut Hills southwest

📌Best known for: Hyde Park Square, the epicenter of yoga pants and luxury SUVs, art shows, and cinnamon roll capitalism at Sidewinder, where the line wraps around the block

👕You can spot a Hyde Park local by: monogrammed tote, marathon medal, and a firm brunch RSVP, plus strong opinions about which private school is best

👍Locals live here because: walkable blocks and endless latte-fueled small talk which means everyone knows everyone's business by Tuesday

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: parking musical chairs that turns grocery runs into combat missions and Zillow prices that humbly brag on homes starting at $500k for a teardown

The overall feel is: preppy, leafy, porch party paradise where the median household income makes you feel personally attacked

patio brunches and stroller dodging, where a mimosa costs $14 and you'll wait an hour for a table
