Gifford Park, Elgin

A Elgin, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what has closed there.

Gifford Park is a historic residential neighborhood situated directly east of downtown Elgin. Originally platted in the nineteenth century, the area contains a concentrated collection of Victorian, Queen Anne, and vernacular homes organized around a central public park square and historic civic structures.

Homes in Gifford Park

Single-family residences in Queen Anne, Victorian, and bungalow styles date mostly from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Lots are typically compact with mature tree cover and detached garages accessed by alleys or side drives.

Gifford Park sits inside Elgin, so the Elgin market report is the right read on prices and pace; the figures beside this are the town's, not the neighborhood's.
