What is Hyde Park Square?

The neighborhood's center: a green with the Kilgour Fountain, ringed by shops, cafes and restaurants. The fountain was donated in 1900 and restored in 2003, and the Hyde Park Farmers Market sets up on the square on Sunday mornings from May through October. The American Planning Association named Hyde Park one of its Great Places in America.

What kinds of homes are in Hyde Park?

Mostly early 1900s houses: Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Victorian and Classical, on tree-lined streets, plus condos and apartments. Prices run from condos in the $200,000s to houses well over $2 million. Some older houses are torn down and replaced, so you will see new construction mixed in.

A 100-year-old house needs a real inspection: foundation, roof, electrical, sewer line. Read Should you waive the inspection? before you compete for one.

What is near Hyde Park?

  • Ault Park, 224 acres with gardens and an overlook of the Little Miami valley, right next door.
  • The Cincinnati Observatory in Mt. Lookout, one of my favorite places in the city.
  • Alms Park above the Ohio River, and the Wasson Way trail.
  • Rookwood Commons and Pavilion in Norwood, for bigger stores, a few minutes west.

Cincinnati Public Schools. Public schools in and near the neighborhood include The Hyde Park School, Clark Montessori and Withrow High School, and Cincinnati Public Schools also runs magnet schools that students across the city can apply to. Compare districts on the Ohio School Report Card.

What if Hyde Park is over my budget?

Look next door. Oakley, just north, usually costs less and has Oakley Station for everyday shopping, and Norwood, a separate city surrounded by Cincinnati, is lower again. My 7 suburbs with more house for the money has more ideas, and I can show you all three in one afternoon.
