Residents enjoy a tight-knit community but also modern retail
Like many neighborhoods within Chicago Heights, the North End takes pride in having longtime residents. This area may no longer be a manufacturing center, but it remains a suburban enclave with winding streets that lead to amenities. “The North End has a really tight-knit community,” says Lauren Roman, a real estate agent with @properties. “There are a lot of second-generation homeowners in the area, so many community members have gotten to know one another. Residents are also conveniently located just five minutes from big box stores like Home Depot, Target and Old Navy.” Other local realtors note that not much has changed in recent years, and new developments don’t seem forthcoming – but that consistency is what keeps residents around and attracts new ones.

Midcentury styles starting at $150,000
Split-levels, bungalows, cozy Cape Cods and modest midcentury ranches make up the majority of the North End housing market. Most of these homes sit close together on quarter-acre lots and feature attached, front-facing garages. Prices tend to hover in the mid $200,000s, but can go as low as $150,000, making the North End a more affordable area compared to surrounding neighborhoods in Chicago Heights. At that lower end of North End’s price range, homebuyers will find midcentury fixer uppers. Towards the upper end of the market are properties in the $300,000 range. These typically show up as late 19th-century four-bedroom homes with over 2,000 square feet of living space. Streetscapes are quintessentially suburban, with mature leafy trees and smooth stretches of front lawn.
