Family friendly and diverse community
This suburb located just over 20 miles southwest of the Windy City’s downtown got its name from the ridges of dirt that were left behind when trainloads of fill were removed from the area as part of the work on the Columbian Exposition of 1893 — also known as Chicago’s World Fair. Today, the Village of Chicago Ridge has appealed to those looking to distance themselves a little from city’s core, while also not wanting to be too out of reach from both the Windy City and several other parts of Chicagoland. “It can depend a little on where you are, but it’s really close to the Metra station,” says Bernadeta Szchezch, a broker with Re/Max 10, who’s made 10 sales in Chicago Ridge. “Everything is around it. The Midway airport, downtown, Chicago O’Hare. You want to go anywhere, it’s really convenient to everywhere. It’s a really, really good location.” The Metra rail that serves both Chicago and the surrounding suburbs sits near the heart of the village on Ridgeland Avenue. Additionally, Interstate 294 cuts through the western end of the village. Joanna Dlugopolski, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Elite, adds: “It’s a quiet and family-friendly community with lots to do. The park district has various programs for kids, as well.”
Chicago Ridge is a charming tree filled oasis with a charming community atmosphere.

Ranch-styles, split-levels and condos
Many homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and there has been some additions over the past few decades. The neighborhoods here comprise of suburban blocks lined by many ranch-style homes — including raised ranch-styles — and split-level houses, with the occasional mature tree shading a portion of the sidewalks. There are also condominiums mixed in, with a number of them in buildings featuring the Mansard touches seen on other homes in the Chicago area. Price points for two-bedroom condos at around 1,000 square feet can start at just over $130,000, and the slightly larger ones can reach up to upper $100,000s. Then, price points from there can go from just over $260,000 for three-bedroom ranch-style houses to over $300,000 for three-bedroom split-levels.
Ranch style homes can be found throughout the Chicago Ridge neighborhood.
