Generally, I'm not a big fan of suburbs, for the usual reasons. However, one great thing about Chicago is that there are a handful of close-in suburbs that are almost indistinguishable from the city. One such place that has caught my eye is Berwyn. It's not too far from the city (just south of Oak Park) and while it doesn't have El access, it does have a couple of Metra stops.

This next house certainly makes Berwyn seem tempting, as it's a cute brick bungalow on the outside, completely renovated on the inside, and for a very affordable price. I love the tiny covered porch, the glossy hardwood floors, the crisp grey walls and white trim. I don't care as much for the bathroom design choices, but hey no house is perfect!

3 beds, 2.5 baths, $295k.
