Auburn Gresham has affordability and activity
If you’re looking for an affordable Far Southwest Side Chicago neighborhood with investment options and plenty of things to do, Auburn Gresham is the neighborhood. Its mix of housing means you can find lower price tags than neighboring communities and fixer-uppers to try your hand at flipping. Around the neighborhood, there are parks and casual restaurants. It’s a pretty longstanding neighborhood, so there are also traditions like the 79th Street Renaissance Festival hosted by local organizations like the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation that bring the community together.

You'll find a mix of homes and apartments here
Auburn Gresham has an equal split between homeowners and renters. “A lot of them are owner-occupied, and they rent to family members,” says real estate agent Jessica Teuthorn with Keller Williams ONEChicago. “Every other block or so, on the corner, there’s an apartment building. Especially closer to the busier streets where there are the buses, you’re going to have more apartment buildings.” Some buildings are proper apartment complexes, while others are smaller brick three-flats. Single-family homes are mostly Chicago bungalows, raised ranches and Georgians.

Auburn Gresham has lower home prices than nearby neighborhoods
Auburn Gresham is more affordable than a lot of the surrounding neighborhoods. Its median housing price is slightly lower than those for Wrightwood, Brainerd and West Chatham. It’s significantly lower than Beverly, where homes are bigger. Only Englewood is lower, due to more renters. You can get a home here for around the low $200,000s to the low $400,000s. If you’re looking for an investment property or a fixer-upper, you can find those for under $150,000. “Bungalows were often built with unfinished basements and attics so they can build a whole second unit and make use of that,” Teuthorn says.
Auburn Gresham's outdoor spaces and annual festivities
When itching to get moving, there are a couple of green spaces and community centers around the neighborhood, including:
Foster Park, which includes a track, fields, athletic courts and an indoor swimming pool
Dan Ryan Woods, which has plenty of walking and biking paths that become cross-country skiing trails in the winter
Major Taylor Trail, a paved bike path that starts in Dan Ryan Woods and heads south into other neighborhoods
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Roller Skating and Bowling Center, a roller rink that's popular for birthdays and parties
Also called RenFest, the 79th Street Renaissance Festival is an annual tradition you can look forward to every summer. It includes live music and plenty of street vendors.

The local casual dining scene and walkable grocery stores
You can walk to a number of local restaurants, but they are going to be more casual. “There is going to be more fast food and less sit-down places,” Teuthorn says. Some options include:
Italian Fiesta Pizzeria, a popular local chain for pizza, pasta and sandwiches
The Hoagie Place, a sandwich shop with a walk-up order window
Jerk Villa Bar and Grill, a Jamaican restaurant with a nice patio shaded by umbrellas
Harold's Chicken, a local chain specializing in wings and chicken dinners
Auburn Gresham also has grocery stores within walking distance. WIC Grocery and Walmart Neighborhood Market are in the neighborhood. Jewel-Osco is around the corner in West Chatham, and Evergreen Park has a couple of shopping centers.
The Auburn Gresham Metra stop connects the community to downtown Chicago.
There are plenty of public transit options in Auburn Gresham
You can walk to things in the neighborhood, but there are also bus stops throughout Auburn Gresham. Bike lanes are on a lot of busy streets like Damen Avenue, Loomis Boulevard and Halstead Street. If you don’t have your own bike, there are plenty of Divvy bikeshare stations. You’re about 13 miles from The Loop here, but commuters have a couple of options. The Metra’s RI line has two stops and goes downtown. You can also head 2 miles east to hop on the Red Line or Interstate 94. It’s about 20 minutes by car and an hour by train.
