Ashburn Neighborhood Information

Located on the further southern edge of Chicago’s South Side, Ashburn lies just 10 miles southwest of the Loop. Home of the city’s first airport, the neighborhood received its name from its days of being used as a dumping site for the city’s fireplace and furnace ashes. Today, the community has emerged to be known for its lush greenery, “spacious real estate, free parking, and suburb-worthy front and backyards.” The community of Ashburn has thrived since its early days and has experienced steady growth since the housing boom of the 1950s.
