Ashburn has a suburban feel, but city prices
Ashburn is in Chicago's outer limits, one of the last neighborhoods on the Far Southwest Side. It's close to suburbs like Evergreen Park. Even though you’ll be farther from The Loop, the location has benefits. Being so close to the edge of the city gives Ashburn a suburban feel, and life is just a little bit slower. There are more long-time homeowners in single-family homes than renters, and staying in the city limits could mean some lower taxes compared to the suburbs.
Ashburn has an urban feel with residents who love the outdoors.
There is so much greenery in Ashburn.

Ashburn is mostly single-family homes
Most homes here are raised ranches, Cape Cods and brick Georgians. “It’s mostly single-family homes, but there are some condos and townhouses,” says broker Tamika Marks with Trademarks and Associates, who is also a 20-year resident of the neighborhood. “For every one condo, it’s about four single-family homes.” These homes typically range in price from the low $200,000s to the upper $300,000s. Prices are about the same as in surrounding city neighborhoods and Cook County suburbs. “The taxes are better, and it meets the city worker requirement to stay within the city limits,” Marks says.

Casual restaurants and fast-food chains are the staples here
While Ashburn is mostly residential, there are some local restaurants and fast-food chains within reach. When not feeling like cooking, you can try:
Starlight Restaurant, for diner food like breakfast and burgers
Vito and Nick's Pizzeria, for traditional thin-crust pizza and Italian
Lawrence's Fish and Shrimp, for fast-food shrimp baskets
Marks says most of the restaurants in the neighborhood are casual, but there are fancier options nearby in the suburbs, like Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park.
Vito and Nick’s Pizzeria serves up some of the best tavern-style pizza in Ashburn.

Grocery store options in and around Ashburn
Chicago’s southern neighborhoods have a reputation for being food deserts, but there are options nearby. Westport Commons Shopping Center has a Pete’s Fresh Market, so some residents can walk to the grocery store. Ashburn is also close to grocery stores and shopping centers in other neighborhoods. Aldi is right over the city line in Evergreen Park, and the suburb also has a Meijer and a Walmart Supercenter. There’s an Aldi in Scottsdale, and Scottsdale Shopping Center has big-box stores like Lowe’s. Burbank Plaza in Burbank has a Jewel-Osco.
Bus and train options in Ashburn
You’ll likely need a car to get to things like grocery stores and shopping centers, but there are still public transit options in Ashburn. Buses stop along busy streets like 79th, Kedzie Avenue and Pulaski Road. The Metra’s SWS line has two stops in the neighborhood and heads downtown, though Marks says not everyone chooses this commuter option. “You could get a bus to the L, which is slightly cheaper,” Marks says. “It ends up being a longer commute overall, but the commuter trains run on a specific schedule, and the buses are more frequent, so you have more flexibility.” Downtown is about 15 miles away, about 30 minutes either by car or an hour on public transit.
The Ashburn Metra station conveniently connects commuters to downtown Chicago.
There are many bus lines that run through Ashburn.
Ashburn is a short drive or train ride away from downtown Chicago.

Meanwhile, Goode STEM Academy High School’s STEM program allows students to earn early college credit.
