The affordable housing in the area has attracted many urban dweller's who are not ready to move to the suburbs who are jaded by the sky rocketing prices of the surrounding lakefront housing. Pristine two-flats, frame cottages, and classic Chicago brick bungalows are the predominant forms of housing available in Budlong Woods.
