Welcome to West Beverly: A Quiet Hillside Retreat of Tree-Lined Streets, Spacious Homes, and South Side Charm

Tucked in the western reaches of the historic Beverly neighborhood, West Beverly is a peaceful, low-traffic enclave that offers the best of Beverly living with added privacy and space. Nestled between 103rd Street to the north, 115th Street to the south, Central Park Avenue to the east, and Pulaski Road to the west, this residential pocket blends the architectural elegance and community pride of Beverly with a quieter, more suburban feel — all within Chicago’s city limits.

Known for its rolling topography, winding streets, and lack of commercial corridors, West Beverly is ideal for families, first-time homebuyers, educators, and city workers who value safety, serenity, and strong schools — without sacrificing access to downtown, culture, or nature.

🏡 Spacious Homes, Smart Value

West Beverly stands out for its affordable, single-family homes — some of the most attainable historic properties on the South Side. You’ll find:

Classic 1920s–1950s-era brick bungalows and two-flats
Tudor Revival, Colonial, and Cape Cod-style homes with original details
Many properties with driveways, two-car garages, and deep backyards — rare in much of the city

With lower property taxes than North Side neighborhoods, it’s an ideal entry point for:

First-time buyers
Investors seeking long-term appreciation
Families looking for stability and room to grow

This is a neighborhood where homes are passed down through generations — a testament to pride in ownership and lasting roots.

🌳 Green Space & Outdoor Living

Residents enjoy access to beautiful parks and nature:

Morgan Park and Riis Park — scenic green spaces with playgrounds, sports fields, and walking paths
The Cal-Sag Trail — perfect for biking, jogging, or walking to nearby neighborhoods
Wolf Lake and William W. Powers State Recreation Area just minutes away — offering fishing, boating, and ice skating
The Burnham Greenway within reach for scenic rides

And with Lake Michigan just 20 minutes east, outdoor lovers have endless options for beach days and nature walks.

🚇 Connected, Convenient, and Calm

Despite its serene feel, West Beverly is surprisingly well-connected:

Served by the Metra Rock Island Line at 103rd, 107th, and 111th Street stations — a scenic 30-minute ride to downtown
Close to the #100 Jeffery Manor Express and #112 Vincennes bus routes
Easy access to I-94 (the Dan Ryan Expressway) and I-57 for car commuters

You’re just:
📍 30 minutes from the Loop
📍 20 minutes from Midway Airport
📍 Close to major hospitals, schools, and employment centers

Whether you're commuting to work or heading to a weekend event, getting around is simple and efficient.

🛍️ Local Life: Practical, Peaceful, and Neighborly

West Beverly is primarily residential, with no major commercial strip — a feature many residents cherish. Daily needs are met along nearby corridors:

Western Avenue and Vincennes Avenue — grocery stores, pharmacies, and essential services
95th Street — big-box retailers, banks, and dining options
The heart of Beverly’s shopping district (on Western Ave near 99th St) is just minutes east

The neighborhood itself is low-key — no nightlife or trendy cafes — but that’s by design. This is a place for practical living, where peace is prioritized over noise.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Close-Knit, Family-Focused Community

West Beverly is home to a mix of African American, White, and immigrant families, creating a stable, inclusive atmosphere. Block clubs, local schools, and civic associations help maintain safety, cleanliness, and neighborly connection.

Schools like Morgan Park High School and Chicago Lawn Elementary are well-regarded, and youth programs, scouting troops, and church groups keep families engaged.

🏘️ No Frills. No Fuss. Just Real Chicago Living.

West Beverly doesn’t trend on social media.
It doesn’t have craft cocktail bars or pop-up markets.
But it delivers what so many are searching for:
✅ Affordable, spacious housing
✅ A safe, quiet environment
✅ Excellent transit and highway access
✅ A true sense of belonging

It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can raise a family, grow a garden, and still be connected to the city.
