    Set just west of downtown, 60612 knits together the Illinois Medical District, United Center Park, and East Garfield Park, mixing historic greystones, big parks, and urban energy with quick CTA Green/Blue Line and I-290 access. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around $1,900 over the past few months, with most listings ranging roughly $1,400–$2,700 depending on size and finish. Weekends often revolve around Garfield Park’s trails, lagoon, and the landmark Conservatory, plus pickup games and workouts at the Golden Dome Fieldhouse. Game nights and concerts energize the blocks around the United Center, with casual eats like The Ogden, neighborhood taquerias along Ogden and Madison, and coffee stops including Starbucks within the IMD. Groceries and daily needs are convenient at Pete’s Fresh Market on Madison, local markets, and nearby Roosevelt Road retail. The community blends long-time neighbors, students, and healthcare pros; tree-lined boulevards, open lawns, and many pet-friendly rentals make it welcoming for families and four-legged friends.
