About the community
Living in Broadview.
Broadview is a 1.78-square-mile village in Proviso Township along the western edge of Cook County, about 12 miles from the Loop and roughly 13 miles southeast of O'Hare. The village is bordered by Maywood, Bellwood, Westchester, Hillside, and Forest Park, with I-290 (the Eisenhower) cutting across the north side at exits 17th Avenue and 25th Avenue. Roosevelt Road and Cermak Road carry most of the east-west commercial traffic. The 2020 Census counted 7,998 residents, with a median age near 42 and a majority-Black community profile. The appeal for buyers is price: Zillow's typical Broadview home value sits around $293,750, well below most of inner Cook County while still offering quick expressway and Metra access.

What it’s actually like to live here
Broadview lives like a working inner-ring suburb. Houses are mostly modest single-family ranches and bungalows on a tight grid between Roosevelt and Cermak, with about 60 percent owner-occupancy and a median age in the low 40s. The Broadview Park District at 2600 S 13th Avenue runs five parks plus the Beverly Center on 25th, and the village recently reopened the renamed Broadview Strong Community Pool after a multi-year closure funded by an $800,000 state grant.
The biggest outdoor draw is Miller Meadow Forest Preserve, just east of the village, with seven acres of off-leash dog area, eight picnic groves, and two miles of paved trail tied into the broader Cook County preserve network. Dining leans local and old school. Sawa's Old Warsaw at 9200 W Cermak Road has been a Polish-American family destination on the Broadview side of Cermak for decades. Combined with the pool, neighborhood parks, and quick I-290 access for shopping at Oakbrook Center or North Riverside Park Mall, the village offers an affordable lifestyle for buyers who prioritize a Chicago commute over square footage.

How Broadview got here
A bit of history.
Broadview incorporated as a village on January 22, 1914 when roughly 200 residents, mostly scattered farmers plus about 20 homeowners on the north side, voted to organize in response to Maywood's attempt to annex the land along its southern boundary. The new village took its name from the existing Illinois Central Railroad depot called Broadview, suggested by Elizabeth Cote, daughter of the village's first president Jacob Mueller. Naming a new village after its depot was a practical move at the time, putting the community on commercial maps that mostly noted only larger towns and rail stops.
Through the mid-20th century Broadview filled in along the same pattern as its Proviso Township neighbors: modest single-family bungalows and ranches built out across a tight grid between Roosevelt Road and Cermak Road, with industrial and commercial uses along the rail corridor and the future Eisenhower Expressway alignment. I-290 opened in 1956 and reshaped Broadview's north edge, threading between Bellwood, Broadview, and Maywood and giving residents direct expressway access to the Loop. The village peaked at 8,406 residents in 1990 and has since drifted to around 7,900 in the 2020s.
The questions buyers actually ask
Broadview FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Broadview. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- Does Broadview have a Metra stop?
- No. The closest Metra station is Bellwood on the Union Pacific West (UP-W) line, just over the village's northern border, with about 43 weekday trains and a 26 to 33 minute ride to Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago.
- What school district serves Broadview?
- Most Broadview K-8 students attend Lindop School District 92 (Lindop Elementary at 2400 S 18th Avenue), with portions of the village served by Westchester School District 92.5. All high schoolers attend Proviso Township High Schools District 209, which operates Proviso East in Maywood, Proviso West in Hillside, and the Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy in Forest Park.
- How long is the commute from Broadview to downtown Chicago?
- Roughly 24 to 30 minutes by car via I-290 in light traffic (about 14 miles), or 26 to 33 minutes by Metra UP-W from the neighboring Bellwood station to Ogilvie Transportation Center.
- What are property taxes like in Broadview?
- Broadview's average effective property tax rate runs around 2.61 percent, slightly above the Cook County average of about 2.38 percent. The average annual tax bill per Ownwell is roughly $4,331, lower than the county average in absolute dollars because home values are lower.
- How much do homes cost in Broadview?
- Zillow's typical home value sits around $293,750 as of early 2026, with February listing prices in the high $290s and roughly $215 per square foot. That is well under Cook County's overall median, which is part of Broadview's appeal for first-time buyers.
- What does the housing stock look like?
- Predominantly modest single-family ranches and bungalows on a tight grid between Roosevelt and Cermak, with about 60 percent owner-occupied housing. The village is roughly 63 percent Black and 21 percent Hispanic, with a median age in the low 40s.
- Where do residents go for parks and outdoor recreation?
- The Broadview Park District runs five neighborhood parks, the Beverly Center on 25th Avenue, and the Broadview Strong Community Pool. For larger green space, Miller Meadow Forest Preserve sits at the village's eastern edge with eight picnic groves, an off-leash dog area, and a model-airplane field.

Your local agent
Joe knows Broadview
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
