Harper Court
Share
Welcome to Harper Court in the heart of Chicago's Hyde Park - the place to be for dining, shopping, and concerts. The story of Hyde Park starts here.
Welcome to Harper Court. Developed in partnership with the University of Chicago and the City of Chicago, Harper Court is set to return to Hyde Park in 2013 and provide the community with the destination it needs and so richly deserves. To Hyde Park, Harper Court is more than just real estate. It’s a gathering place, a community anchor and a longtime beacon for the arts. It’s vibrant and alive – a neighborhood stronghold with something to say – namely, that it’s been waiting for this.
