While the neighborhood has experienced its share of issues in recent years, it’s also incredibly resilient and has several community advocacy groups that are striving to improve the area.Realtor April Troope of Tadd Realty, who has worked in Chicago’s south side for nearly 30 years, says the neighborhood is transforming as investors and some new homeowners have begun buying and updating homes more quickly than in the past. “We’ve been renovating our properties to provide better housing here. We’re going block by block to improve it as much as we can,” Troope says. “People should not sleep on Englewood. It’s coming back. It’s a beautiful community.” Local advocacy organizations like The Englewood Arts Collective and the Residents Association of Greater Englewood are also helping to revitalize the area.
