History and a tightknit community anchor Beverly
Beverly, sometimes known as Beverly Hills, is perched on the highest geographical point in the Chicago area, known as the Blue Island Ridge – which takes its name from the blue wildflowers that once flourished there. Caroline Conners, director of the Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association, says that proximity to nature continues to be a draw to the area. But there are several other reasons, too: a small-town community feel, plus traditional suburban housing that has stood the test of time. Beverly grew after the completion of the Rock Island Railroad, which provided easy access from downtown via rail and streetcar. The neighborhood population boomed in the years after World War II, and Beverly, just 15 miles from downtown, is now home to about 20,000 residents.
Beverly is a quiet neighborhood in Chicago, IL.
The Beverly Castle is a beloved local land mark built in the late 1800's.

Brick bungalows, ornate Victorians, modern Prairie homes
Most Beverly neighborhood houses were built before 1969, giving the area a stylish midcentury aesthetic. Streets are filled with spacious brick bungalows and Prairie style houses, including a few in the Longwood Drive Historic District designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Indeed, Beverly has a bit of a reputation for architectural flair, including an Irish-style castle that now houses the Beverly Unitarian Church. Prices start in the upper $200,000s for a streamlined three-bedroom bungalow. Victorians and Prairie style houses are in the mid $400,000s to mid $500,000s. Small hedges and ornamental trees, neatly mulched beds and smooth uniform stretches of front lawn are the norm.

I don't really stay physically active in the sense that I don't exercise regularly, but I certainly could utilize the bike trails or gyms in the area.

Beverly is a hidden south side gem in Chicago. Many people don't know that areas like this exist on the south side where it's pretty safe and family oriented. It feels like it's own village in a massive city. I think that it's boarders of evergreen park and Dan Ryan woods plays a role in the safety and lifestyle of the area. The only concern is good public high schools, many of our kids go to private schools after elementary because high school options in the area are mediocre.
