Chicago suburb close to the coast
Calumet Heights compromises urban and coastal living within a suburban setting, with sandy shores 3 miles east and short commutes into Chicago. “When they started building those homes, a lot of Chicago elite, black business owners, the politicians, doctors and lawyers – people of society – lived in those abutting neighborhoods,” says Broker Shiree Booker with Realty One Group Heartland, who grew up in the Chicago’s South Side and has brokered for 24 years. “Avalon Park, Calumet Heights, Pill Hill, all those communities were robust and small businesses were along Stony Island, the main artery.” Today, those small businesses are no longer as standard, but Stony Island Avenue and 87th Street continue to serve as the neighborhood’s primary source of retail and dining options. Locals appreciate access to major thoroughfares in under two miles from home not only because they can access local grocery stores, but also because they can travel east to Calumet Beach and neighborhood parks.

Dutch Colonials join bungalows along gridded streets
Calumet Heights’s street grid is lined with early 1900s raised ranch-style houses, Dutch Colonials and two-story bricked prairie-style houses. Sidewalks run parallel to the fronts of these homes, with the cars parked out front, limiting the amount of front yard space. Meanwhile, backyards give enough room for personal gardens, patios or porches for picnics at home. Single-family homes list between $92,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow and roughly $400,000 for a newly remodeled four-bedroom house.

National stores and locally smoked seafood
While Calumet Heights’s big box stores and fast food chains are limited to the stretch around 95th Street, local businesses are scattered north along 87th Street and Stony Island Avenue’s bus lines. Pete’s Produce, a family-based supermarket, has sold fresh produce along 87th Street since 1974. Seafood food lovers have their pick of fresh fish, whether craving Calumet Fisheries’s smoked seafood or Seafood Junction’s steamed shrimp. “I go to Calumet Fisheries all the time; fish and chips are the best thing there,” Booker says. “People get their food, go out and sit on the old picnic tables with their families, watch the boats go by or get it hot and sit in their cars.” Cruising along 95th Street, shoppers stop for groceries and errands between the Aldi in the east and Jewel-Osco to the west. As the sun sets, crowds file into Family Den to dance to the house music and sip cocktails.

Owens fitness facility and Avalon aquatics

While both parks provide an outdoor escape for children to run and climb on a playground, Jesse Owens includes tennis courts and an indoor fitness facility where basketball players play pickup games and fitness lovers set new personal records. Warmer weather results in increased splashing at Avalon Park’s outdoor pool. Baseball players also return to the park’s five baseball fields as the seasons change to spring and fall.
