Douglass Park Homes for Sale

Douglass Park, located in Chicago’s West Side, is a neighborhood centered around its expansive 160-acre namesake park, offering residents a variety of recreational activities such as sports facilities, scenic walkways, mini golf, and an outdoor pool. The park is a popular spot for barbecues, lawn games, and quiet reflection in its gardens and lily pond. Housing in Douglass Park primarily consists of multi-unit greystones and brick three-flats from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with newer condos and older fixer-uppers also available. Most residents rent their homes, contributing to a strong community spirit. The neighborhood is well-connected by public transit, with the Chicago L Pink Line and Metra BNSF Line nearby, and Interstate 290 providing quick access to downtown Chicago and Chicago Midway International Airport, both about 15 minutes away. Douglass Park is also home to the Illinois Medical District, including Mount Sinai Hospital and St. Anthony Hospital, and the Cinespace Studios Chicago film facility. Local dining and nightlife options include Don’s Grill and Lagunitas Brewing’s taproom. While the annual Riot Fest brings noise and traffic concerns, residents have responded with their own People’s Music Festival. For groceries, Pete’s Fresh Market and Walmart Neighborhood Market are about 10 blocks south.
