Cash for cars in Gage Park

Gage Park runs from 49th Street to 59th Street, between Central Park Avenue and Leavitt Street, and its homes are mostly bungalows. The Chicago Bungalow Association even lists a Gage Park Bungalow Historic District. Junk Man Cash for Cars buys cars that are done from these blocks and tows them away free. The offer, the tow and payment work the same as our Chicago cash-for-cars service everywhere else.

Getting around Gage Park

The neighborhood takes its name from the park at 2411 W. 55th Street, where Western Avenue meets Garfield Boulevard (55th Street). A few more reference points:

• Gage Park High School, at 5630 S. Rockwell Street, open since 1939.
• The Western stop on the Orange Line, at 49th Street on the Brighton Park line.
• 55th Street and 59th Street, the main east-west routes, with 59th marking the south edge.
• Western, California and Kedzie, the north-south streets most people use.

Where we usually pick up here

With a bungalow block, the car is almost always in one of two places: a garage at the back of the lot, reached from the alley, or at the curb out front.

Rear garage. Tell us whether the alley is clear, whether the garage door opens all the way, and whether anything is parked in front. A car in a garage it hasn’t left in a year often has flat tires; mention it and the driver will plan for it.

Street spot. Give us the block and nearest cross street. On narrow blocks, the driver needs space alongside the car to load it.

A car in a bungalow garage often simply stopped running one day and never got fixed. If that’s yours, our page on cars that won’t start covers what we need to know.
