The Forest Glen Community Area encompasses the Northwest Side neighborhoods of Sauganash and Edgebrook, as well as the “micro-neighborhoods” of Middle Edgebrook, North Edgebrook, Old Edgebrook, South Edgebrook and Wildwood. The area that’s commonly referred to as Forest Glen today, however, is a small pocket south of the Indian Road Woods forest preserve, bounded by Metra’s Milwaukee District North line, the Chicago River, and Cicero, Foster, and Forest Glen avenues.
The neighborhood, described by its community club as “Chicago’s Finest,” comprises about 550 homes. The eight that are on the market right now — all single-families — were built between the early ’20s and late ’60s, have two to four bedrooms and one to two baths, and range in price from the $220s (a short sale situation) to the $570s.
To learn more about the neighborhood, visit the Encyclopedia of Chicago, WalkScore, Yelp, and MoveSmart.

I keep an eye out for homes in Wildwood for my famly personally…. but it’s still tough for a guy and girl working for our peanuts. Tough to crack a decent home worth moving out of Ravenswod for at a price under $500K in the attendance boundaries.
It is a really nice area that I first learned about because of Yo. I wish you guys would stop writing about it so it remains hidden from the Chicago masses 🙂
If only we had that kind of sway, Emkay. 🙂
