A controversy has been brewing for some time regarding homes that sit in what’s historically been known as “East Hyde Park.” The MLS listing service has reclassified these homes as being in Oakley. The area of dispute includes homes along Erie Avenue between Tarpis and Pinehurst avenues, the Erie and Saybrook avenues intersection and the Deupree House, 3939 Erie Ave. Residents affected by this are upset and worried about property values and resale — specifically that buying a home in “Hyde Park” and selling in “Oakley” could lose them money.
