Wrightwood

Located on the southwest edge of the city, Wrightwood is a diverse middle-class neighborhood of manicured lawns and yellow-brick bungalows that was recently cited by The New York Times as a model for successful, harmonious integration in an urban setting. Much like other parts of Chicago, in Wrightwood businesses and restaurants are concentrated mainly along the neighborhood's major thoroughfares, while the rest of community is filled with neat residential blocks. Affordable housing has long made Wrightwood an attractive place to set up housekeeping, and the variety of architectural styles make sure every homeowner gets exactly what they are looking for in a home. The neighborhood's public park is an added bonus for those who like to indulge in outdoor recreation and appreciate a little breathing room. There is even an indoor swimming pool on hand for Wrightwood resident of all ages to enjoy.
