Erhler Playlot Park sits at the intersection of West 55th Street and South Rockwell in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. The one-acre site contains a basketball court, a playground with swings and climbing structures, and a small open field used for informal soccer and picnics. A short segment of the 55th Street bike lane runs directly past the park, connecting riders to the larger Burnham Greenway trail three blocks east. Mature maples line the perimeter, providing summer shade for the benches that face the play area. The park is two blocks south of the CTA’s 55th Street bus route and one block west of the 54th/Cermak Pink Line station, giving residents quick transit access to downtown and Midway Airport. Street parking is permitted on adjacent residential blocks, and a small lot at the southwest corner accommodates a handful of vehicles. The surrounding streets are primarily single-family bungalows and two-flats, so daily foot traffic remains low outside of after-school and weekend hours.
Erhler Playlot Park currently has 16 single family homes for sale, 5 townhouses for sale, 31 condos for sale, and 8 lots for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 8 new construction homes for sale.
