Pilsen, Chicago
A Chicago, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what I have closed there.
Located in the Lower West Side community area along the South Branch of the Chicago River, Pilsen contains brick masonry two-flats, workers cottages from the late nineteenth century, and converted light-industrial warehouses. The district is bounded by 16th Street, the river, and Western Avenue, with rail access via the CTA Pink Line and BNSF Metra line.
Pilsen sits inside Chicago, so the Chicago market report is the right read on prices and pace; the figures beside this are the town's, not the neighborhood's.
