Auburn Gresham

Auburn Gresham is a brick bungalow neighborhood with one of the strongest civic infrastructures on the South Side, anchored by St. Sabina's activist parish and a 79th Street corridor that won the Chicago Prize for its healthy lifestyle hub. This is a neighborhood that organizes, votes, and shows up, and it has the institutional density to prove it.

The Red Line's 79th and 87th stops sit on its eastern edge and the Metra Rock Island's stations on its western one, with buses thick on 79th. One car per household is common. Housing remains affordable for the build quality. Auburn Gresham suits buyers who want a bungalow with backbone: real community institutions and two rail options bracketing the neighborhood.

Auburn Gresham offers moderate transit access: a single car per household is usually sufficient. One car typically covers the gap that transit leaves.

With a Walk Score of 68, Auburn Gresham is "Somewhat Walkable": some errands can be done on foot, but many trips need transit or a car.

At roughly $12,000/year for 1 car, transportation is a moderate line item in Auburn Gresham's true cost. The neighborhood is served by the Red, Green lines.
