The Best Place to Shop in Hyde Park, Hands Down
August 15, 2025
Hyde Park is popular for its combination of first-ring suburban charm, convenient location and family-friendly atmosphere. The neighborhood offers a mix of stately homes, well-maintained green spaces and a central business.
There’s plenty of boutique-type shopping on Hyde Park Square, but for many locals’ money, the best place to shop is Legacies’ Upscale Resale shop in Hyde Park Plaza.
What makes Legacies so special among Hyde Park stores?
Legacies is unique in Hyde Park because it’s where customers find great deals on gently-used furniture, jewelry, home décor and accessories–while simultaneously supporting Cancer Support Community (CSC).
All our donation proceeds and consignment proceeds, go to CSC, which provides support services to cancer patients and their families.

30 years of great deals for a great cause
In 1994, a group of caring women created Legacies Upscale Resale to sell donated and consigned home furnishings, benefiting The Wellness Community (now known as Cancer Support Community). Initially located in a small shop off Hyde Park Square, our shop quickly became known for its affordable, high-end merchandise.
Since then, we have donated over $3.2 million to Cancer Support Community (CSC). When you donate items to Legacies Upscale Resale), 100% of our profits still go to CSC to help cancer patients and their families.
If you are downsizing, relocating or redecorating, Legacies is the ideal place to recycle your furnishings. Your donations and consignments help to fund over 200 monthly free programs at CSC.
