Chicago's industrial history alive in Pullman
On the south side of Chicago, Pullman features a unique part of the city’s industrial history. The neighborhood used to be the living quarters for the Pullman Palace Car Company, which developed luxury sleeper cars back in the late 1880s. “George Pullman is the one who developed this whole little neighborhood for his workers,” says broker and Pullman homeowner Carla Norton-Brown with A Dwelling 4U Realty. “It was the only thing here in Chicago where the owner of a company developed an entire neighborhood.” Today, the old workers’ homes now create the neighborhood’s historic district, surrounding a park managed and protected by the National Parks Service showcasing the history through museums and exhibits. While the historic district and homes highlight a unique part of Chicago’s history, the workers’ 1894 strike led to the creation of Labor Day as a national holiday, so the impact of this community spread far beyond the boundaries of Pullman.

Living in Pullman's historic Georgian rowhomes
Pullman’s residential areas are split between history and modern developments. “You’ll see that there’s a lot more historic value on the south end rather than the north end,” says Norton-Brown. Pullman’s historic district showcases red brick Georgian rowhomes, sitting along streets shaded by mature trees. Steps lead up from the sidewalk to the front doors, with two homes typically sharing one stoop. Front yards are small here and typically feature small flower gardens, but exterior personalization is limited here. “People have to keep the historic value. There’s certain aesthetics that have to be maintained for the homes,” Norton-Brown says. “You have to have a certain type of window and colors, like wintergreen or a rust-red type color.” Historic homes typically list between $125,000 and $200,000. On the north end of the neighborhood, people can find more brick and siding bungalows dating back to the 1940s and 50s. Streets on the north side feel more open, with fewer trees and fewer plants in lawns. The houses here list between $200,000 and $250,000.

National parks and indoor athletic facilities around Pullman
Pullman’s parks and recreational spaces are split between historical sites and modern athletic complexes. At Pullman National Historic Park, people can explore the history of the neighborhood’s namesake through the sleeper car workshop or the administrative building with its iconic clock tower. On nice days, people can stroll through the workers’ gardens at Arcade Park. On the other side of town, Dr. Conrad Worrill Track and Field Center at Gately Park offers an indoor 200-meter track and hosts basketball and volleyball leagues. Also called Pullman Omniplex Stadium, Pullman Community Center is another indoor athletic haven. “It has baseball, basketball, and football all in the same center,” Norton-Brown says. “No matter what temperature it is outside, you can play inside.”

Pullman is a decent neighborhood. Nothing too special though. You can learn a lot about Pullman's history though by looking at the houses, communitees, and areas around. Pullman is not as rough as other communities, but it is an ok place to live until you get on your feet.

I like the fact that the kids can play outside. In addition to that, majority of the neighbors are really nice, and helpful.

The area I live in is okay but outside isn't so safe. Because I live in London town which is a town hall complex which is separated from Pullman and Rosaland.

The people are very nice and mannered, they make sure each other is good. People are friendly and want to be your friend. When my family and I moved here, there were about five people who greeted us and welcomed us to the community. The children were even nice to my step-brother the first time they meet him. It feels very safe with the police near the neighborhood and the people in it.
