Up early today, planning our day's itinerary.

Would like to look at nice Chicago neighborhoods so I can consider purchasing property. I've been told that Hyde Park and Kenwood are pleasant areas... anybody have an idea?

Thanks
Unless you'll be affiliated with the university or other work in that area, I would steer clear. The areas are nice, but an island in any number of ways and pretty distant from everything else. I'm sure others will disagree, but IMHO the West Loop, South Loop, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, West Loop, River North and any number of other north side areas are better for entertainment, restaurants and culture in general.
