A wealth of opportunity in Belmont Heights
Situated in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, Belmont Heights might seem easy to overlook. Its gridded residential streets of cottages and bungalows are comparatively quiet to the bustling Harlem Avenue, lined with Chicagoland’s classic Italian eateries. But a deeper look into the community reveals a wealth of opportunity for both investors and homebuyers alike. Fixer-uppers neighbor newly renovated homes and custom-builds at an accessible rate compared to surrounding suburbs. Walkable parks and schools make for an inviting environment, boasting low CAP Index Crime scores and a variety of public transportation options.

Uniform residential streets with diverse pricing
The residential lanes of Belmont Heights are lined with Cape Cods, cottages and bungalows. A sense of uniformity blankets the community, as each home offers its own neat lawn extending to a sidewalk shaded by old-growth trees. Homebuyers will find that the pricing, however, is the opposite of uniform. Investment properties might go for $150,000, while custom and newly renovated homes range between $500,000 and $700,000. Attached garages aren’t a certainty, but many lots offer short driveways and ample street parking. Varying as well are quaint verandas and back alleys where detached garages rest beside backyard gates.

Chicagoland’s classic Italian fare
Harlem Avenue is lined with a world tour of eateries, from Puerto Rican to Italian to Middle Eastern. The interwoven retail shops and markets are just blocks from most residences. Luke’s on Harlem is a Chicagoland institution, a family-owned stop slinging beef, hot dogs and Italian ice for more than 30 years. Down the road, BarTucci Homemade Italian Food serves traditional, homemade Italian fare under the glow of string lights on a shaded patio. But of course, the neon red signage and checkerboard ambiance of Mr. Beef & Pizza is hard to miss, ideal for a greasy craving. Just north, Harlem Irving Plaza is a shopping mall featuring dozens of brand-name retail outlets alongside Target and Best Buy. Locals grab the essentials from regional chains like Rich’s Fresh Market off Cumberland Avenue, or Jewel-Osco on Irving Park Road.
