Living in West Town & Ukrainian Village

West Town offers an appealing combination of historic Chicago housing, independent businesses and easy access to downtown.

Within the broader West Town area, Ukrainian Village has an especially strong residential identity, with tree-lined streets and distinctive architecture alongside increasingly active commercial corridors.

The Neighborhood

Located west of downtown and south of Wicker Park, West Town encompasses several smaller neighborhood pockets.

Chicago Avenue and Division Street provide restaurants, shops and nightlife, while residential streets quickly become quieter away from these corridors.

Lifestyle

Independent restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries and neighborhood bars give West Town a distinctly local personality.

Residents also have convenient access to nearby Wicker Park, Bucktown and the West Loop, expanding the number of dining and entertainment options within a relatively small area.

West Town Homes & Real Estate

Housing ranges from vintage condos and classic two- and three-flats to workers' cottages, contemporary condominiums and substantial single-family homes.

Ukrainian Village is particularly known for its historic residential architecture and established streets.

My Perspective as a Chicago Realtor

West Town is a good example of why Chicago neighborhood boundaries only tell part of the story.

I encourage buyers to explore Chicago Avenue, Ukrainian Village and the quieter residential pockets individually because each can offer a noticeably different experience.
