Is New City, Chicago, IL expensive?

New City is generally more affordable than Chicago's citywide average, with median home prices and rents lower than downtown and many North Side neighborhoods. Housing is primarily single-family homes and low-rise apartments, so costs vary by block and proximity to transit and amenities. Prices have risen in recent years but overall remain below the city's average.

Average January mean temperatures are around 21°F and July means near 75°F, with roughly 36 inches of annual snowfall and about 36 inches of total precipitation.

How safe is New City, Chicago, IL?

New City, a Southwest Side community area that includes Back of the Yards and Canaryville, has historically recorded higher-than-Chicago-average rates of violent and property crime.
