West Town Chicago Real Estate & Neighborhood Guide

Refined and trendy, Chicago’s West Town is an enclave that puts you close to everything you need while balancing the uniqueness of all its attractive neighborhoods.

West Town is one of Chicago's largest and most varied community areas, running from the Chicago River west toward Humboldt Park, between the Bloomingdale Trail (The 606) and the railroad tracks near Kinzie Street. Most of it is in the 60622 zip code. It takes in several well-known neighborhoods, including Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, East Village, Noble Square, River West and Smith Park, along with loft conversions, vintage two-flats, single-family homes and condo buildings of every age.

Our team has offices on Milwaukee Avenue and works across West Town every week. This page pulls together current market numbers, links to each West Town neighborhood and live listings.
