Hello, Cincinnati! – Hyde Park Neighborhood and Architectural Tour & Real Estate Info

You can see many of the City of Cincinnati’s signs around the city in the same style as this Hyde Park Square sign.

Hyde Park, A Village-like Neighborhood Nestled in the City of Cincinnati

In a nutshell, Hyde Park is a beautiful place to live. Luckily, I call this neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, my home. Also, Hyde Park is my workplace, where I am an agent at the Sibcy Cline Realtors® at the Hyde Park office. The community lies on the 71 north/south corridor on the east side of the city. Some of the jewels of the district include Hyde Park Square, Ault Park, and Street Gas Lamps. Inherently, its picturesque corridors and architecture make Hyde Park a special neighborhood.

In late August 2022, I created a YouTube video that showcases the appeal of the Hyde Park Neighborhood. In summary of the video, I highlight its business district and residential feel, the history of Hyde Park, the MLS data (newer data is listed in the article), and Niche.com overview.

 

Business District Attractions & Residential Achitectural Style

All in all, Hyde Park has a lovely, traditional, village-like feeling as you walk down the business district surrounding Hyde Park Square. One can see Italianate, art deco, and contemporary, among other architectural styles in the buzzing quaint retail center. Similarly, the residential areas match this aesthetic and sentiment. Along the avenues and streets, homes carry a traditional vibe with occasional contemporary abodes. Inside the neighborhood, visitors and residents can point out the many homes from the turn of the 19th Century to the early 20th century. Frequently, you can spot American Four Squares, Victorians, Tudors, Colonial Revivals, Mission Revivals, Shingled, and Art Deco multi-plexes. Occasionally, you might find some contemporaries scattered throughout and occasional storybook homes amongst other styles. Overall, the feeling is of intentional beauty.

History

Looking back at Hyde Park, named after the famously affluent Hyde Park of New York, it was transformed from a rural area to a desirable community. Its rise to popularity grew when a train connection to Cincinnati’s downtown made the area more accessible. If you are curious more about the history of Hyde Park in the video, visit  Sibcy Cline Community Guide, Haus & Home Magazine, Wikipedia. There you can learn about the Mornington syndicate, a group of wealthy businessmen, who developed the area, and other information.

One week into September, there are 34 properties on the market. From June 1 to August 31, 2022, 92 properties were sold. Furthermore, the median summer price was $450,000.
