Douglas

Douglas covers the northern end of Bronzeville, the historic center of Black Chicago, where the Great Migration built a city within a city. The landmarks are real: the Victory Monument, the Supreme Life Building, Ida B. Wells' home, and block after block of greystones on King Drive that rival anything on the North Side boulevards.

Transit is a quiet strength: the Green Line runs along its western edge, the Red Line's Sox-35th stop is walkable from much of it, and the 29 State and 3 King Drive buses run constantly. Lake Meadows and Prairie Shores add mid-century tower living near the lake. Douglas suits buyers and renters who want historic architecture, a 12-minute Loop commute, and a neighborhood whose story matters.

Douglas offers strong transit access: a car is optional for many trips. One car typically covers the gap that transit leaves.

With a Walk Score of 82, Douglas is "Very Walkable": most errands can be accomplished on foot.

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