Established Chicago neighborhood

Kilbourn Park is a stone's throw away from some of northwest Chicago's most popular areas while bringing its own identity to the table. Its namesake park is home to the Chicago Park District's only teaching greenhouse and serves as a community hub. "It is an excellent starter neighborhood for single-family homes," Clare Spartz with @properties Christies International says. Spartz has nearly 20 years of real estate experience and has lived in several of Chicago's neighborhoods. "It's so nice to be in an established neighborhood, established schools, everything nearby, and wedged between all the popular neighborhoods."

Wider lots in northwest Chicago

Houses in Kilbourne Park are often single-family homes ranging from $280,000 to $600,000, with most being around $360,000 to $400,000. Homes come in different sizes and styles, including cottages, bungalows, Tudors and townhomes. Lot sizes are bigger than other areas," Spartz says. "There are 33-foot-wide lots for the homes, meaning there is more sunshine; you don't get the sun on the sides in other lots, making these homes more joyful." Many of the homes will include a garage or driveway, with some street parking options.

Grab breakfast at Bryn Mawr

Locals can easily access several shopping and dining establishments in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Kick-start the morning at Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club, a popular breakfast eatery with a diverse menu of breakfast favorites. "I had breakfast there once before, and ever since, I've been asking myself, how do I get back there to have it again," Spartz says. Stop by Thai Aree House for dinner and try their various Thai food dishes. Kilbourn residents can head to Tony's Fresh Market to pick up groceries for their favorite home-cooked meals. Big-name retailers like Walmart and Target are a couple of miles from the heart of the neighborhood, so locals won't have to travel far to pick up their household necessities.
