About this unit

Live in the heart of Hyde Park, where some of Chicago's best culture, dining, parks, lakefront recreation and architecture are right outside your door. Ideally located near the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, Jackson Park, the lakefront and 57th Street Beach, this home puts you close to everything that makes Hyde Park one of Chicago's most distinctive neighborhoods. Enjoy nearby restaurants, coffee shops and shopping along 53rd and 55th Streets, with convenient access to public transportation and downtown Chicago. Tucked inside a beautiful classic brick courtyard building on tree-lined Kimbark Avenue, this spacious 1-bedroom condo combines vintage Chicago character with an incredibly functional layout. Step inside to hardwood floors, abundant natural light and generously sized rooms that feel much larger than you would expect from a one-bedroom. The separate living room offers plenty of space to relax, entertain and create a dedicated work-from-home area, while the separate dining room gives you something increasingly hard to find in today's condos a true place to sit down for dinner. The kitchen features quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash and plenty of cabinet space, while the oversized bedroom easily accommodates a large bed and additional furniture. Two closets provide exceptional storage, along with additional building storage, bike storage and on-site laundry. Radiant heat adds to the comfort and convenience. Whether you're looking for your first home, a city residence, or simply want to enjoy everything Hyde Park has to offer, 5551 S Kimbark #14 delivers space, character, location and value at an approachable price point. Come experience Hyde Park living and see just how much this condo has to offer.

Where it is

FAQ

Where do these listings come from?

Straight from the Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) MLS, refreshed regularly — the same listings your buyer's agent sees, no curated subset.

Can I work with Dibze to buy?

Yes. A licensed Chicago buyer's agent lines up tours, writes offers, and handles the close. The seller pays the commission, so it's free to you — and we rebate part of it back at closing.

Can I rent in this building?

If owners are leasing units, the For Rent tab shows them. These are individual condo owners listing through the MLS, so lease terms and pet rules vary by unit.

How is this different from Redfin or Zillow?

Same MLS feed, different model — we don't sell your contact info or turn every click into a lead. One Dibze condo expert handles your whole search and represents you, not the seller.
