About Burbank

Burbank is a Cook County city on the southwest edge of Chicago, directly bordering the city's Ashburn neighborhood. It sits near Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, Bedford Park, and Hometown, and is less than two miles south of Chicago Midway International Airport. The area was once largely agrarian land within Lyons Township, with late-1800s railroad development plans that never fully materialized. Today Burbank is best understood as a close-in Chicago suburb with practical access to the Southwest Side and Midway corridor.
