Prairie District Townhomes for Sale

The Prairie District in Chicago's South Loop is a neighborhood rich in history and character. Originally a Native American trail, it evolved into a prestigious area where industrialists built grand estates in the late 19th century. Many of these historic homes, inspired by Queen Anne and French Chateau architecture, still stand along South Prairie Avenue, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The area features a mix of redeveloped townhouses, condos, and modern townhomes from the early 2000s. Chicago Women’s Park and Gardens serves as a community hub, offering green spaces, a fieldhouse with fitness studios, and an indoor playground. The park is flanked by the Clarke-Ford House and the Glessner House, both historic house museums. Dining options include La Cantina for Mexican cuisine, Chicago Oyster House for seafood, and Spoke and Bird Café for coffee and pastries. The South Loop Market provides grocery staples and specialty items. The neighborhood is well-connected with local bus services, proximity to the Cermak-McCormick Place Train Station, and easy access to Interstates 55 and 90. O’Hare International Airport is about 25 miles away. The area is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for families.
