5050 S E End Ave

The Chippewa is a mid-century, 14-story cooperative in Chicago’s Hyde Park, completed in 1956 and inspired by Mies van der Rohe’s modernist vocabulary. Units are primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts with open living/dining plans, formal dining room possibilities, and generous windows that frame lake and park vistas. Interior features commonly include hardwood and parquet floors, built-in storage, updated kitchens with granite counters, first-floor bedroom/bath options in some units, and radiant heat incorporated into floor systems. The building offers an elevator, a staffed lobby, and a compact common storage program; monthly assessments historically cover utilities and real estate taxes. Parking is not owned onsite but rental and nearby private parking options and street parking are frequently used. Located steps from Lake Michigan, Harold Washington Park, the Promontory Point views and the lakefront path, the property sits within walking distance of public transit (Metra, express buses, CTA), the University of Chicago, Whole Foods and neighborhood retail. The cooperative’s mid-century design, large window walls, and manageable scale foster a serene, light-filled living environment with easy access to Hyde Park’s cultural and everyday amenities.
