Explore Sauganash

A close-knit residential community with large, gracious homes situated near parks and forest preserves, Sauganash is one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods for peace and quiet, without straying too far from city life. Sauganash is truly a refreshing respite from the congested and noisy streets that typify a busy metropolis like Chicago. Miles of woodland, mountain biking trails, flora and fauna are all at your disposal, just around the corner from your front door. Of course, the neighborhood blocks are much less rustic than the surrounding wildness. Manicured, sidewalk-lined lanes house beautiful English Tudors, Cape Cods, Georgian architecture and brick bungalow-style residences. Plus, the commercial corridors that cut through Sauganash supply residents with an assortment of shopping, dining and convenient services.
