BRONZEVILLE
About Bronzeville
Head a little south of downtown and you'll find Chicago's
historic Bronzeville neighborhood. Home of the Bud Billikin Day
Parade, the U.S.' second largest annual parade, as well as a
plethora of other important events for the trajectory of black
history. Located south of Chinatown, along the shores of Lake
Michigan, Bronzeville apartments lie mostly within the bounds of
the Douglas and partially within the Grand Boulevard community
area. U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, is on the
boundary of Bronzeville, and the IIT campus is located within it.
The CTA's Red and Green line 'L' trains serve Bronzeville.
Apartment Snapshot
Bronzeville residents are predominantly renters in mid to
high-rise complexes with 50 or more apartments. Renters seeking an
apartment can expect to pay upwards of $1,000 to $1,500 for an
apartment close to IIT with nice amenities.
History
Bronzeville is a product of the great migration that occurred
during the early 20th…
The median is solely based on the area and the number of bedrooms.
Listing-specific characteristics such as the number of bathrooms and the amenities will also impact the price.
