Englewood isn't really a single family home neighborhood. Detached single family homes only constitute ~22% of the neighborhood's housing units (similar to chicago's overall proportion).
Like most Chicago neighborhoods, Englewood's housing stock is primarily comprised of flats and small apartment buildings.
Back in the day Englewood sported a population density of ~35,000 ppsm. You don't get to that kind of density figure with detached SFH's.
