Strong Appreciation—Yet Still a Great Value

West Chicago attached single-family homes saw a 5.6% increase in average price in December 2025, reaching $285,000. What makes this growth especially compelling is that prices remain affordable compared to nearby suburbs, giving buyers access to a thriving community without paying a premium.

  • First-time buyers priced out of higher-cost nearby suburbs
