West Town Living
Comprised of several distinct Chicago neighborhoods northwest of the Loop, West Town is a thriving community that has experienced extensive development over the last decade.
The community includes the neighborhoods of Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, East Village, River West, Fulton River District, Noble Square, East Humboldt Park, and parts of Bucktown. With an eclectic mix of hip cafes, independent bookstores, art galleries, music venues, and peaceful city parks, West Town appeals to a variety of lifestyles.
Over the last several years, the community has seen an influx of trendy eateries, bars, and boutiques pop up along Division Street, Chicago Avenue, Grand Avenue, and Damen Avenue, making it a popular destination for shoppers looking for the hottest fashions and for foodies in search of unique cuisine. Every year, locals enjoy a number of festivals, including Do Division Street Fest, West Fest, Renegade Craft Fair, and the West Town Art Walk.

The Area
Public Transportation: Chicago’s longest ‘L’ line & second busiest route, the Blue Line is great for getting anywhere from the Loop to O’hare, Forest Park, UIC & even Jefferson Park. A fan favorite, the Brown Line runs throughout the Northwest Side, starting in Albany Park into the Loop. Beginning all the way in Chicago’s North Shore suburb, Wilmette, the Purple Line passes through Evanston and into Chicago's North Side, while also extending even further south into the Loop during weekday rush hours. The Green Line is great for getting from Oak Park to the West Side, into the Loop, and then to the South Side, West Englewood and Woodlawn. The city’s newest ‘L’ line, the Pink Line runs from Cicero to Chicago’s downtown.
