Living near Englewood STEM
The area, not just the school
Englewood sits on Chicago's South Side, a historic neighborhood with deep roots. Development took off here in the 1850s when the railroads came through, and by the mid-20th century this was one of the city's busiest commercial hubs. Today the streets are lined with the classic Chicago housing that buyers love: sturdy greystones, brick two-flats, and bungalows, many at prices that are hard to find anywhere else this close to downtown. Kennedy-King College anchors the community with a modern 40-acre campus that opened in 2007, bringing students, culture, and a well-regarded culinary school to the neighborhood.
Getting around is easy. The CTA Green Line stops at Halsted and the Red Line runs along the Dan Ryan, so a ride into the Loop is quick, and Metra's Rock Island line adds another commuting option. Ogden Park, one of the largest parks on this part of the South Side, offers a public pool and green space for families. Englewood has seen real, ongoing community investment in recent years, and for buyers who value affordability, character-rich homes, and strong transit access, it is a neighborhood worth a close look.

It was the centerpiece of an 85 million dollar Chicago Public Schools plan that consolidated four under-enrolled Englewood-area high schools into a single new STEM-focused campus. The school added one grade level each year until it served grades 9 through 12 beginning in 2022-23.
Englewood STEM is a neighborhood Early College STEM high school housed in a state-of-the-art building with modern labs, an outdoor sports facility, and a school-based medical center open to students and community residents. Through a partnership with Kennedy-King College and Salesforce, students can earn college credit toward an associate degree or certificate and gain career experience through pathways in Information Technology and Health Sciences.
