History of Chicago Lawn
Originally Chicago Lawn represented its own city, being founded in 1871. The city was annexed by Chicago only a decade later, though much of the neighborhood remained farmland until the 20th century. Affordable housing in Chicago Lawn skyrocketed when immigrants and workers from nearby Back of the Yards flocked to the area due to affordable apartments and cheap living expenses. Traditionally an area founded by Germans, Poles and Lithuanians, the demographics soon changed as Chicago Lawn apartments sprung up and the area became more urban. Today, local property management companies have rehabbed many old buildings and the quality of work has led to affordable and comfortable Chicago Lawn apartment options. Seeking housing under 600 dollars, apartments under 800 dollars or apartments under 1000 dollars? You can find affordable housing to fit any budge in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. Plus, many property management companies still accept Section 8 vouchers or have options for Section 8 housing.
