Woodlawn

Currently in the midst of a major revival, Woodlawn is finally getting the attention it deserves. The South Side neighborhood boasts a prime location near the lake and is surrounded by beautiful parks including Washington Park and Jackson Park, home to the largest and oldest beach house in the city. While there is existing housing stock, including tidy brick two-flats, there’s a lot of open land just waiting to be developed. 

Construction in the area has picked up steam and attracted more developers and bigger projects over the years. Several new projects are underway including single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. Woodlawn is accessible by public transportation, including the CTA Green Line and Metra, as well as nearby Lake Shore Drive and the expressway.
