While Park Ridge native Sen. Hillary Clinton was in Chicago yesterday to raise money for her presidential campaign, I was showing houses in Park Ridge and neighboring Niles.
With all that Park Ridge has going for it, home prices aren’t cheap. The average sale price for a Park Ridge house in the last 12 months was $618K. 3 bedroom houses in Park Ridge averaged $494K. 4 bedroom houses in Park Ridge averaged $761K.
If you can afford Park Ridge homes prices, you’ll get a home in a town with a nice downtown and good transportation options adjacent to the northwest corner of Chicago. I like the Pickwick Theater in downtown Park Ridge. It shows mainstream as well as independent films. Park Ridge is on the Union Pacific Northwest Metra Line. Travel times into the Loop range from 25 to 35 minutes. There’s also a CTA Blue Line stop at the southwest edge of Park Ridge.
