Burbank's typical order
Burbank is a town of brick ranches and raised ranches built in the fifties and sixties, and those houses are now at the age where garages get replaced, driveways get repoured and basements get finished. A standard unit on the driveway for the length of the job is the most common Burbank rental by a wide margin. Along Cicero Avenue the dealerships, tire shops and strip retail order units for lot resurfacing and facade work, and the restaurants near 79th bring one in whenever a plumbing repair takes their restrooms offline.
Families here throw large graduation and First Communion parties, and a deluxe flushing unit with a handwashing station tucked beside the garage is a familiar sight on a June Saturday on streets like Lavergne and Latrobe.
Where it goes on a Burbank lot
Most Burbank blocks have no alley, so the driveway is the workspace. The driver sets the unit at the garage end of the drive, door facing away from the neighbor's windows, and leaves enough room for a car to pass. Corner lots sometimes have a side-yard gate wide enough to walk a unit through, which gets it out of view entirely. Front-lawn and parkway placement is discouraged; the village maintains the parkways and a unit on the public way is the kind of thing the Village of Burbank may have rules about, so check with the village hall before choosing that option.
The Burbank calendar
Driveway and garage season opens in April once the ground firms up and runs to Thanksgiving. Reavis High School's spring and fall sports, the park district programs at Sherwood and Newcastle parks, and the township's summer festival keep event units moving from May through September. Roofing crews are busiest after the late-spring hail, which hits this stretch of the southwest suburbs more often than people expect, and those jobs move fast enough that a unit dropped Monday is often picked up by Friday.
Winter keeps the interior remodels going, and a unit on the drive with non-freeze treatment means the crew never needs the family bathroom.
