Six miles from downtown Cincinnati is Hyde Park, a neighborhood with varied home styles and plenty to see. One of the main features of the neighborhood is Hyde Park Square, a two-block area along Erie Avenue with locally owned boutiques and restaurants and a park in the center. “You get an instant feeling of small-town living close to downtown,” says Derek Tye, a Realtor with EXP Realty with 19 years of experience. “The park surrounds the 100 shops in that area, and there’s plenty of parking close by.” The area is centrally located inside the Interstate 275 loop that encompasses the greater Cincinnati area. While Hype Park Square is the heartbeat of the neighborhood, there are areas that feel distinctly suburban, with homes having private driveways and lawns. There are also rows of hip, new townhomes and condos with plenty of amenities.
Many Hyde Park residents commute via bicycle to easily get around.

Historic homes and new builds
There’s a hodgepodge of home styles in Hyde Park, whether it’s a condominium priced in the low $200,000 range or a multi-million dollar home close to the Ohio River. “With the smaller homes, you can see Craftsman and, close by, there could be a Victorian home that dates back 100 years,” Tye says. “There’s no guidance on how homes are built in that area. You could have a Foursquare right next to a contemporary home.” A single-family home has a median price of over $615,000, while townhomes have a median price of over $800,000. “In that area, you’re seeing a lot of the smaller Cape Cod and ranch-style homes being replaced by million-dollar rebuilds, so you’re not seeing as many on the lower end of the price scale because the land is too valuable now,” says Tye.
An array of architectural styles can be found in Hyde Park from Tudor's to Nationals.
Newer 2015 homes can be found in the Hyde Park area alongside older homes from the early 1900s.
