Basement finishing in Harwood Heights, IL

Harwood Heights squeezes a lot of postwar suburbia into 0.83 square miles — together with Norridge, it forms an enclave surrounded by the City of Chicago. Beyond a small pocket of 1930s Durocraft homes south of Foster Avenue, nearly all of the housing arrived between the late 1940s and the 1970s: brick ranches and bungalows on compact lots, plus 1960s high-rises like Parkway Towers. Remodeling here works within tight footprints, so finished basements, reworked kitchens, and well-planned additions often beat moving. One local wrinkle: the Village runs its own water system and publishes an address-by-address service line inventory — about 200 of its 2,225 service lines were still lead as of 2026, worth confirming before plumbing-heavy kitchen or bath work. Most families are served by one-school Union Ridge District 86 and Ridgewood Community High School, though portions of the village fall in Pennoyer District 79, Norridge District 80, and Maine Township District 207; the CTA Blue Line at Harlem on the Kennedy serves commuters. GS Construction brings kitchen, bath, basement, addition, and whole-home remodeling matched to exactly this housing stock.
