Hyde Park Right on Lake Michigan, seven miles south of downtown, Hyde Park/South Kenwood is home to 43,000 people, including more than 60 percent of the University's faculty and a great majority of its students. The area was settled in the 1850s as an elegant suburb and is among the most desirable places to live in the City of Chicago. Many new homes have been built in recent years to meet the demand from those wishing to move here. Hyde Park has a history of social activism, political leadership, and community life; it is also the site of renowned museums and architectural landmarks. Life here can be both sophisticated and friendly, lively and tranquil. Hyde Park has been cited nationally as among the most successful racially and economically integrated urban communities in the United States. For students, it provides the essentials of life along with enough diversions to keep boredom at bay when a trip downtown is not practical. |
