About Englewood

Englewood is a community area on Chicago's South Side, bounded by Garfield Boulevard (55th Street) to the north, 75th Street to the south, State Street and the railroad tracks to the east, and Halsted Street to the west. The neighborhood was once a thriving commercial center — the intersection of 63rd and Halsted was one of the busiest in the city. Englewood has faced significant economic challenges over the past several decades but has a strong network of community organizations working toward revitalization.

The community area's housing stock includes older single-family homes, two-flats, and vacant lots. The Green Line runs through the neighborhood with stations at Halsted and Ashland/63rd. Englewood has been the focus of major public investment including the Englewood Line extension proposal and the INVEST South/West initiative. Kennedy-King College, part of the City Colleges of Chicago system, is located in the neighborhood.
