Ukrainian Village

 (Back to Map)

The best-known neighborhood in West Town is Ukrainian Village and is a largely residential area that reflects the German, Polish and Ukrainian immigrants who settled on the North Side in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Ukrainian Village is located on both sides of Chicago Avenue from Damen Avenue to beyond Western Avenue. It is approximately a 32-square-block area northwest of downtown. It has an ethnically diverse population today, but remains a focal point for the Chicago area's Ukrainian community because of the Ukrainian businesses, organizations and churches that are based in the neighborhood. With 10,000 Ukrainians living here, it is one of Chicago's most original ethnic neighborhoods. The storefronts have Ukrainian signs, bakeries and delis carry pierogi, dumplings and other specialties, and radio shows broadcast in the native tongue. The numerous churches are the centers of community activity. Their gilded domes rise above the neighborhood.  Ukrainian Village is a cohesive residential area of solid, Victorian-style housing, workers cottages and tidy red brick two- and three-flats. The vintage buildings display the high-quality workmanship and detailing that Ukrainians loved. It is a beautiful area and the streets, yards, and buildings are well-maintained with lovely gardens and balconies. The area like most of Chicago, is currently experiencing a trend toward rehabbing and renovation. Vintage housing is rarely listed on the market, as they are passed on to family members or sold to neighbors. However, there is construction of new townhouses, condos and 3 flats that are a little lower in price vs. Wicker Park the neighborhood to the North. More Info (Wikipedia)
