This 4-bedroom co-op at 5715 S. Kenwood in Hyde Park came on the market in March 2026.

Built in 1928, it’s a mid-rise elevator building with just 14 units. It has no amenities but a shared yard with gardening and grilling.

There’s an on-site building engineer.

The listing says it’s “steps” from the main campus.

The unit has unobstructed views of Hyde Park.

Like many vintage units, it has a separate dining room, but many of its vintage features don’t remain. It does have some millwork and bookcases.

The kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a beverage fridge, and stone countertops.

The primary bedroom is en suite and that bathroom has a soaking tube.

From the floor plan, it appears you have to go through a bedroom to get to the two full bedrooms and even the half bath.

It has hardwood floors in the main living/dining room.

This unit has the features that buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and a “dedicated” parking spot in an adjacent lot is available for $90 a month.

This building is near the University of Chicago campus and the Lab School. It’s just steps from the famous Medici restaurant. There are buses, and the Metra, within just a few blocks.

Listed at $725,000, and with 2800 square feet, will this sell quickly as a townhouse alternative?

Robert Sullivan at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has the listing. See the pictures and floor plan here.
