What it is like to live here

Wash Park is built around its 165-acre park, two lakes and the 2.6-mile loop that fills with runners and strollers year round. Housing ranges from 1920s bungalows to modern rebuilds on 50-foot lots.

Inventory is tight and well-priced homes often sell within two weeks. Buyers looking for value tend to widen the search to Platt Park and Bonnie Brae, just south and east.
