What it’s like to live in Far Southwest Side
Far Southwest Side offers single-family homes with yards at more accessible rates than northern or central Chicago neighborhoods. Many properties feature classic Chicago bungalows and ranches with architectural details reflecting solid workmanship. While downtown commutes take longer than from closer-in neighborhoods and transit options are more limited, residents enjoy more living space, better parking situations, and stronger community ties than typically found in higher-density Chicago districts.

What it’s like to live in South Loop
Urban revival thrives near Soldier Field and McCormick Place. Renters in converted warehouses face sparse tree canopy (12% coverage) intensifying summer heat but enjoy quick access to Grant Park festivals.
