Dutch Colonials join bungalows along gridded streets
Calumet Heights’s street grid is lined with early 1900s raised ranch-style houses, Dutch Colonials and two-story bricked prairie-style houses. Sidewalks run parallel to the fronts of these homes, with the cars parked out front, limiting the amount of front yard space. Meanwhile, backyards give enough room for personal gardens, patios or porches for picnics at home. Single-family homes list between $92,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow and roughly $400,000 for a newly remodeled four-bedroom house.

National stores and locally smoked seafood
While Calumet Heights’s big box stores and fast food chains are limited to the stretch around 95th Street, local businesses are scattered north along 87th Street and Stony Island Avenue’s bus lines. Pete’s Produce, a family-based supermarket, has sold fresh produce along 87th Street since 1974. Seafood food lovers have their pick of fresh fish, whether craving Calumet Fisheries’s smoked seafood or Seafood Junction’s steamed shrimp. “I go to Calumet Fisheries all the time; fish and chips are the best thing there,” Booker says. “People get their food, go out and sit on the old picnic tables with their families, watch the boats go by or get it hot and sit in their cars.” Cruising along 95th Street, shoppers stop for groceries and errands between the Aldi in the east and Jewel-Osco to the west. As the sun sets, crowds file into Family Den to dance to the house music and sip cocktails.
