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.
Landscaped lawns with spruce trees appear across Auburn Gresham.
