Would you pay $699,000 to live in this part of Chicago?

This is what around $650,000 can buy right now in Chicago’s Dunning neighborhood. 👀

This updated 4-bedroom home at 3535 N Osceola offers over 2,700 sq ft of finished living space, including a finished basement and 2-car garage — with a layout that feels much newer than its 1927 build year.

What makes this area stand out is the balance between city access and neighborhood feel.
Dunning is known for quieter residential streets, larger lots compared to many Chicago neighborhoods, and convenient access to the Kennedy Expressway, Harlem Avenue, shopping, restaurants, and public transportation.

You’re also close to:
✔ Wright College
✔ Schiller Woods & forest preserves
✔ HIP Mall area
✔ O’Hare access within about 15–20 minutes depending on traffic

Homes in this part of the northwest side continue attracting buyers looking for more space without moving fully into the suburbs.

At around $650,000, this gives a good look at where updated single-family home values are currently sitting in this pocket of Chicago.

Is the Northwest Suburbs market still affordable?

Here are the January average sale prices for single-family homes:

📍 Mount Prospect – $428,072
📍 Schaumburg – $375,689
📍 Hoffman Estates – $396,961
📍 Palatine – $396,511
📍 Algonquin – $443,277
📍 Elmhurst – $759,830
📍 Bartlett – $423,279

What does this tell us?

Buyers still have options under $400K in several great suburbs — but premium locations like Elmhurst continue to command significantly higher prices. Inventory remains competitive, and properly priced homes are moving.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, strategy matters more than ever.
