Why Live in Ashburn
Ashburn, a neighborhood in Chicago, has evolved from its origins as an ash-dumping site in the late 1800s to a clean, close-knit community known for its sense of inclusion and support. The area features sidewalks, streetlights, and crosswalks, making it walkable for evening strolls. Residential streets are lined with mid-20th-century front-gable ranch-style homes, along with Georgian and Cape Cod styles, all with modest front and backyards. Townhomes and condos are also available. Local dining options include Las Islas Marias, known for authentic Mexican fare, and Vito and Nick’s Pizzeria, a family-owned spot since 1932. Shopping is convenient with Scottsdale Shopping Center and Burbank Plaza just over a mile away, offering stores like Jewel-Osco and Big Lots.
For recreation, residents enjoy Lee (John) Park and Rainey Park, which offer programs and sports facilities. Annual events like the St. Hyacinth Basilica Parish Carnival and Unity Park’s Pumpkinfest foster community spirit. Richard J. Daley College is nearby, and Chicago Midway International Airport is just 3 miles away. Commuters can drive 13.3 miles to downtown Chicago or take the blue line from Ashburn Station for a 30-minute ride. However, the proximity to the Metra blue line and Chicago O'Hare International Airport means residents may experience noise from overhead planes and passing trains.
