Beverly Park offers a rural and urban feel in Rockford
On the northwestern side of Rockford, Beverly Park offers quiet suburban living surrounded by parks. “It kind of faces into a rural setting on the northwest side,” says real estate agent Mike Lunde with Gambino Realtors. “You’ve got a city and rural mix, so it draws people looking for both lifestyles.” However, Auburn Street is just south of the neighborhood, connecting the community with western Rockford’s restaurants along Main Street. With downtown Rockford just a few miles away, residents can still feel connected to the city, while still coming home to their quiet community at the end of the day.
Bungalows, Cape Cods and ranches throughout Beverly Park
Beverly Park features a mix of bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, all selling between $25,000 and $100,000. Trees are sparse here, so the streets have a more open feel. Many people allow their dogs to run freely within the chain-link fences enclosing their properties, but they can still walk them to a nearby park along the well-maintained sidewalks.
Bungalows and ranch style homes are very commonly found in Beverly Park.
Ranch is the most common home style in the residential streets of Beverly Park.

Classes at the community center and walking to Beverly Park
Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the neighborhood is a playground and baseball diamond at Bressler Park. While it may be a smaller park than others around the city, it is within walking distance of homes. Mel Anderson Bike Path also runs through the park—this paved bike path stretches for 3 miles to connect various parks in western Rockford. It also stops along the Northwest Community Center. Serving the area for over 75 years, the NWCC offers educational courses and programs for kids, adults and seniors. North of Beverly Park is Rockford BMX, which has classes for beginners and open houses for more experienced bikers at its track inside Searls Park, an expansive community green space with walking trails, baseball fields and a dog park. About a mile beyond the BMX track, visitors ride horses instead at the Lockwood Park and Trailside Equestrian Center, located next to the trails and disc golf course at the Anna Page Forest Preserve.
