Though Chicago gets the DA WINTERS. Always loved the well-built housing. Mostly solid brick, front lawns as is the city street-grid and alley in back. Powerline poles there not fronts to blemish.
My neck of the woods Northwest side of the city great neighborhoods no risk of gentrification far from the core.
Always nice neighborhoods. Some streets could use repaving..

Chicago 1950s 60s home. Called a Step-Up Ranch. 1-story. I see it as a Bungalow-Ranch or 50s bungalow to me LOL.
Built 1959. Brick built of course. Corner lot. Well-built full plaster walls. Not just a stick-home quick-build today.
Full Basement finished like another floor for a den. Basic size kitchen and kitchenette as once called.
Nice full original wood oak floors, 2.5 car detached brick garage facing alley.and back year to put a patio or even larger deck and garden.
Tree-lined street with front lawn and its own tree. DELUXE BRICK FENCE along the side street

Full Basement FINISHED w/fireplace and the smaller windows with still plenty of light.

Home looks fully rehabbed in earthtones I love. Full use of 2nd floor unlike a traditional bungalow
by the tapered roof as its neighbors is one. Two lovely white birch trees in front and front lawn.
2-car detached garage and plain good size yard for Chicago in back like a blank slate w/fruit trees.
Alley to its side and back as it is a corner but to a side alley with privacy fence.
