Ashburn is one of the most stable of all Chicago Communities. Growth in the neighborhood was slow initially as it was home for the dumping grounds of the ashes from furnaces and fireplaces from Chicago residents. The population had an upswing in the between 1940 and 1950. Many of the residents who moved to this area during that time still call Ashburn home today.
The range of home price today is beween $ 75,000 and $250,000. Homes in this area often have a second story that has been unfinished for future expansion needs.
Friendly is the word I would use to describe Ashburn. It is in close proximity to the Chicago Loop, with only about 14 miles separating the two, for shopping and entertainment with access to public transportation if desired. It offers all the perks of neighborhood living with streets lined with quality built homes on streets lined with shade trees. Ashburn has a lot to offer the family wanting to be close to the city life but enjoy the perks of a nice small family oriented community. Solid houses, great schools and public parks and play areas make this a suitable community for family living. The parks offer many activities such as swimming, jogging, basketball and tennis.
