West Pullman attracts investors and home renovators
Situated on the outskirts of Chicago's South Side, West Pullman is slowly reaching its full potential. The area is popular with investors and house flippers taking advantage of low housing costs and the number of homes in need of repairs. There are plenty of amenities for residents, including a state-of-the-art rec center. You can also walk to the grocery store, Metra stations and plenty of parks.
Bungalow homes are common throughout West Pullman streets.
West Pullman Park features a playground with space for active play.

Lower home prices on the South Side compared to North Side
Many homes here are older and not yet renovated, and investors have noticed the potential of flipping properties on this side of town. “Everyone wants to be in Logan Square and Lincoln Park, but even the run-down homes over there are so much higher,” says broker Duval Williams with @properties Commercial. “The houses that need work are still fairly cheap. You can still find homes that need a lot of work under $50,000.”
Renovated homes typically range from the low $100,000s and the upper $200,000s, and the median here is about $190,000, about the same as nearby communities like Pullman, Roseland and Calumet Park. However, it is about $100,000 cheaper than neighboring Morgan Park, located on the other side of the interstate, where homes are a bit bigger.
Cape Cod homes appear throughout West Pullman residential blocks.
Two-story single-family homes are found throughout West Pullman.

West Pullman is mostly homeowners and older houses
Most properties in West Pullman are single-family homes. Historic Nationals, bungalows and the occasional ranch-style home line the streets. Every now and then, a block will have a brownstone three-flat available for the few renters here. Street parking isn’t really an issue, since most homes have detached garages in alleys behind the property.
Recreation at the Salvation Army Kroc Center
The Salvation Army Kroc Center is the biggest recreation and social spot in West Pullman. With a membership, you can access its indoor and outdoor spaces, including:
A fitness center and indoor track
An aquatic center with a lap pool, lazy river and play area
Indoor basketball and volleyball courts that host local leagues
A performing arts center
Baseball and football fields
You can also head to West Pullman Park, which also has an indoor pool. Outside, there are tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields and a playground with a splash pad. The Major Taylor Trail is a paved bike trail that goes through South Side Chicago, and a good portion of it is in West Pullman.

You can walk to the grocery store from West Pullman
“Something good about West Pullman would be Marshfield Plaza,” says Realtor Carla Norton Brown with A Dwelling 4 U Realty. “There’s a good grocery store over there. They keep building it up.” South Side has a reputation for being a food desert, so West Pullman residents benefit from being so close to the shopping center and its Jewel-Osco. Fast-food chains line Halsted Street, and Maxwell Street Express has Italian beef sandwiches and Polish sausages.

I have been living in Chicago my entire life and yes the weather is a little unpredictable, but I have no problem dealing with the weather. On some days if the weather is too bad I will miss school and work but for the most part I always carry an umbrella and an extra jacket.

It is a food desert. I would like to see more fresh market options, less violence and cleaner streets.
