Marquette Park is a convenient option for affordable living
Marquette Park is a southwest Chicago community that offers proximity to downtown, local employers and public transportation. Its namesake park sits in the center of the community, offering plenty of green space for locals to get outside. Major employers like Mondelez International Bakery and Holy Cross Hospital are both located in the neighborhood, while Midway International Airport is less than 5 miles away. Home prices are lower than surrounding neighborhoods, while also offering investment and rental options. However, the downsides of living in Marquette Park include fewer nightlife and dining options, noise from the airport and difficult street parking.
Marquette Park has ample amenities and is a short trip to downtown Chicago.
Midway International Airport handles over 200,000 flights in a typical year.

Affordable homes, rentals and street parking
Marquette Park’s gridded streets have a mix of single-family homes and apartment buildings. “It’s a good equal share of owners and renters, and that helps a lot of the affordability there,” says Realtor Clarissa Vega with Avenue Properties Chicago. “You can get a nice little rental with a roommate.” Single-family homes are typically Chicago bungalows and workers’ cottages, with a small selection of Cape Cods also available. Apartments are in low-rise brick buildings with two to three units. Most buildings are historic, built between the ‘20s and ‘30s. Home prices typically range from the low $200,000s to the mid $500,000s. Marquette Park’s median housing price is about $275,000, lower than neighboring communities like West Lawn and the suburbs. Investors are especially attracted to the apartment buildings.
When parking in Marquette Park, residents have two options — the street or detached garages. Back alleys behind homes hide the detached two-car garages, but space is limited. “When clients have a garage, that’s a big selling point,” Vega says. People with more cars and renters will need to park on the street, which can be challenging on blocks with more rentals.
Chicago style bungalows built at the turn of the 19th century define Marquette Park's charm.
Variations of bungalows add to the charm of Marquette Parks housing selections.

Commuter options in Marquette Park
Commuters aren’t far from Interstate 55. “For a lot of these communities on the southwest side, you are so close to everything,” Vega says. “If you want to hop on the highway and head to The Loop, you can. If you want to get some food in another neighborhood, you can. If you want to hop on the highway and get to the suburbs, you can.” The Metra’s SouthWest Service (SWS) line also serves the community, running directly to downtown, about 14 miles away. Multiple CTA bus lines stop throughout the neighborhood along major roads like Kedzie Avenue, Western Avenue and 63rd Street.
