<p>When I think of Hyde Park as “cute,” I think of the homes that go for a few million around Obamaville (53rd and Greenwoodish) and the homes along Dorchester, Blackstone, etc. which are all old and palacial. The “student ghetto” (55th to 53rdish, Woodlawn to Kimbarkish) is also quite pretty, IMO. (MAC as a landlord, though, is another problem!)</p>
<p>The neighborhood is beautiful (in some sections, at least) and there are at least some families with a good deal of money. I see your point about making residents of the neighborhood feel unwelcome if we were to yank the Co-Op and put a Dean and Deluca there.</p>
