Around Sauganash

Sauganash’s beautiful, unique homes are often passed down from generation to generation. There are gorgeous brick bungalows and English Tudors dating back to the 1920’s that have influenced the style of most modern constructions in the area. This neighborhood is easily accessible by Metra rail, CTA buses, and the Edens Expressway, so it’s an ideal home for professionals looking for a quiet retreat, families who want urban access, and retirees desiring a calm neighborhood with many amenities.

Sauganash has a vibrant culinary scene with locally-owned restaurants specializing in pizza, American comfort food, Asian cuisine, and Italian fine dining.
