Whether you're moving across town or across country, don't overlook Berwyn in your search for the next place you call home. Even in this buyers' real estate market, home prices in the City of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs have put an investment out of reach for many young professionals and families looking to purchase a first home or upgrade to a larger one. Berwyn offers as much convenience and quality of living as its near-West neighbors but at a fraction of the cost. In fact, with a median home size of 1,200 square feet, a median home value of under $170,000, and an average property tax bill of less than $4,000 a year, buying a home in Berwyn could be one of the smartest financial investments you'll ever make. And, as Berwyn continues its commitment to improving its infrastructure, attracting new businesses to the city, and continues to attract young urban professionals and families to the neighborhood, the City's property values should be poised for explosive growth as the economy begins to recover and the housing market makes a rebound. Berwyn, also known as the City of Homes and Beautiful Berwyn, has an outstanding assortment of high quality homes in distinct architectural styles, including bungalows, Victorians, American four-squares, Tudors, and farm-house - and all for unbeatable prices! Born in a rich history, Berwyn has the most significant collection of Chicago-style bungalows in the nation today. Be sure to save the date for the Berwyn Historical Society's annual Historic Berwyn Bungalow Tour in September. Scroll through our gallery above or take a drive to Berwyn to see the the value for yourself. Not in a position to buy yet? Renting in Berwyn is an attractive alternative as well. The City is stocked with multi-unit buildings, including many two- and three-flat buildings nestled among the single-family homes, and the median rent is $525 per month. Whether you choose to rent or own in Berwyn, its historic charm and neighborly residents will make you wonder why you haven't always called Berwyn "home".
