Jensen Park occupies roughly 12 acres in Chicago’s West Ridge neighborhood, bounded by Pratt Avenue, Touhy Avenue, and the North Shore Channel. A paved 0.7-mile multi-use trail runs the park’s eastern edge, connecting to the North Shore Channel Trail that continues north to Evanston and south toward the lakefront. Two ball diamonds, a soccer field, and six lighted tennis courts draw organized leagues, while a playground, splash pad, and two picnic groves serve smaller groups. Mature trees line the central lawn, offering shade during summer months. The Chicago Park District’s Jensen Park field house contains restrooms, a gymnasium, and a fitness center that operates year-round. Residents can reach Metra’s Union Pacific North Line at Peterson Park station within a 10-minute walk, and several CTA bus routes on Touhy and Western Avenues provide additional transit options. Nearby retail corridors on Devon and Howard Streets supply grocery stores and restaurants without requiring a car.
Jensen Park currently has 10 single family homes for sale, 1 townhouse for sale, 13 condos for sale, and 1 lot for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there is 1 new construction home for sale.
