One of Cincinnati's oldest neighborhoods, Hyde Park has become a favorite among young professionals. Hyde Park Square has evolved to become a thriving hub of activity while still preserving its original charm. Upscale specialty shops and restaurants surround the charismatic fountain in the middle of the square.

A delightfully walkable neighborhood, Hyde Park seems to enjoy an unusually significant number of dog-walkers, joggers, rollerbladers and tricked out baby strollers criss-crossing its tree shaded side streets.
