United Yards - Unclaimed

Zip code 60609 blends historic grit with creative momentum across Back of the Yards, Canaryville, and parts of McKinley Park. You’ll find classic worker cottages beside refreshed lofts, a growing arts scene at the Bridgeport Arts Center and Zhou B Art Center, and food entrepreneurship at The Plant. Weekends often orbit McKinley Park’s lagoon, pool, and trails, plus Sherman Park and Cornell Square for playfields and picnics; low-key nights lean toward Marz Community Brewing or a sweet-and-savory circuit of taquerias along 47th and Ashland, neighborhood bakeries, and Back of the Yards Coffee Co. Daily needs are easy with 47th Street retail, local markets, and big-box grocery options nearby, and park fieldhouses add affordable fitness. Expect a four-season Chicago climate—warm, lively summers and brisk winters. Transit is practical with the CTA Red Line at 47th, nearby Orange Line access, frequent buses on Ashland and Halsted, and quick hops to I-55 and I-90/94; biking is common along Archer and side streets. Pet-friendly rentals and ample green space add to the community feel. Per Zillow Market Trends in recent months, median rent hovers around $1,550, with most listings roughly $1,200–$2,100.
