Residential area in Chicago with parks

Adjacent to Chicago’s South Loop, Dearborn Park is a primarily residential neighborhood connected by well-maintained sidewalks that give its residents easy access to nearby restaurants and amenities. Tree-lined urban streets and numerous neighborhood parks provide Dearborn Park residents with a nice amount of green space that is not often found in a downtown setting. “The location is super nice. It’s kind of off the busy street, so cars aren’t cutting through. It’s very pedestrian-friendly,” says Real Estate Broker Scott Berg with Berg Properties, who has over 20 years of experience.

Multi-family properties in the city

Dearborn Park is largely comprised of multi-family properties built in the 1980s and 90s. Modern condo complexes and townhouses can cost anywhere between $250,000 and $1 million, depending on the number of bedrooms and square footage. “The condos are pretty decently sized – usually about two to three bedrooms. And a lot of the buildings are in a larger format, getting up to six stories,” Berg says. There are also brick and Victorian-styled townhouses and prairie-style homes for similar prices.

Chicago city parks and historic buildings

When residents want a break from the city streets, Dearborn Park’s namesake green space has an open field for tossing a frisbee and a walking path for getting steps in. Right next to South Loop Elementary, locals can enjoy Jones Park’s two playgrounds before having a picnic under the pine trees. A short walk north will bring residents to Roosevelt Park where they can play tennis or utilize the circular walking trails. Additionally, the northern border of Dearborn Park is home to the historic Dearborn Station, a former departure point for many traveling to Hollywood and other cities in west California. The station is one of the oldest preserved train stations in the United States and is now home to commercial offices and local businesses. For a fun team-building activity with family, friends or coworkers, visit Fox in a Box Escape Room.
