A community focused neighborhood with investment opportunities
Sitting just north of Little Camulet River and directly east of Interstate 57 is the community of West Pullman. Reflected in its architecture, the neighborhood has a long history and, at one time, was one of the most significant industrial communities in Illinois. However, its residential landscape looks different than that of the past. This is thanks to residents and local organizations that continue to improve the neighborhood through a state-of-the-art community center, homes improvements and neighborhood gatherings. “Community is a big part of the neighborhood,” says Leon Ivy, managing broker at Manage Chicago Inc., who has over 11 years of experience in the south Chicago region. “It has a good family-oriented vibe.”

The homes of West Pullman
Lining its modest sidewalks are a variety of architectural styles like ranch, bungalow, Cape Cods, Georgian and front-gabled national-style homes, most of which feature a front porch or small stoop. The majority of these homes were built during the mid to late 20th century, though many homes toward the northeast end were built in the early 1900s, some dating back to the late 19th century. Houses share residential streets with parked cars, an abundance of street lights and speed bumps, making for a relatively comfortable walking experience for strolls around the neighborhood. Many homes in the community are being sold to those looking to renovate, providing homebuyers with a wide price range, with free-standing homes starting at $75,000 to $300,000, depending on size and condition. Those interested in condo living can expect prices from $50,000 to $275,000 for recently renovated units.
