Explore Longwood Manor
Small in acreage but big on character, Longwood Manor is home to some of the most historic houses on Chicago's south side. Like its neighboring communities of Brainerd and Washington Heights, Longwood Manor built an identity based on working-class traditions tied to the once-thriving railroad industry and an immigrant past that still defines much of the area's legacy to this day. Community parks and recreation facilities provide residents with ample room for exercise, play, sports and amusement. In addition to housing the usual tennis courts and baseball fields, the parks in Longwood Manor host free live music concerts and movie screenings. The rest of the neighborhood encompasses long blocks of classic Chicago bungalows and a few rib houses and seafood shacks for the best in southern-style cooking.
