Neighborhood

Situated on the southwest side of Chicago, Garfield Ridge is a predominantly residential neighborhood teeming with a wide range of houses available for rent. Garfield Ridge also encompasses the northern part of the historic Midway International Airport, the world's busiest airport from the 1930s through the 1960s. The popularity of the airport has allowed Garfield Ridge to continuously grow as a community.

Archer Avenue is Garfield Ridge’s main thoroughfare, running through the center of the neighborhood with a host of diverse eateries and family-owned businesses. Garfield Ridge is home to the 15-acre Wentworth Park, where residents enjoy access to numerous athletic courts and fields as well as an ice skating rink and year-round events. Getting to Chicago’s Loop from Garfield Ridge is easy with access to the Orange Line and I-55.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
