Cornell 55 consists of two historic buildings located on the tree-lined avenue named for Paul Cornell, who initiated the development of Hyde Park in 1853. Experience the craftsmanship of early 20th century architectural details: hand-laid, Arts & Crafts style mosaic floors, carved-wood banisters and wrought-iron balustrades marked by the flowery emblems of the Art Nouveau style. The surrounding streetscape is referred to by residents as "Restaurant Row", a variety of international cuisines for every palette, and also includes neighborhood retail stores to fulfill your daily needs. With bright, updated interiors and natural hardwood floors throughout, a Cornell 55 apartments an ideal space to make your home. Large windows gathering light from airy courtyards illuminate the interior and give natural ventilation. Heat is included in the rent, so you won't have to worry about the Windy City's chilly winters. Limited on-site parking is available, and nearby public transportation and major highways, coupled with the University of Chicago's complimentary shuttle service, make the property easily accessible not just to the University, but to the entire city.
