An ornate and lively corner of Chicago
Named for its triangular shape and its central commercial district on Taylor Street, the Tri-Taylor neighborhood is known for the charm of its 19th-century homes and its large selection of family-owned businesses. “Tri-Taylor is a really close-knit and community-oriented neighborhood,” says longtime resident and local Realtor Bill Altier with New West Realty Partners. West Taylor Street is a gathering point for local college students, who pack into the restaurants and bars housed in ornately decorated buildings that are unlike anything else in town. Located just 3 miles west of downtown Chicago, Tri-Taylor offers easy access to everything the Windy City has to offer while retaining its own distinct character.

Loaded with classic Chicago styles

Most houses in the area feature small, fenced-in front lots. Tri-Taylor home prices range from $280,000 for quaint two-bedroom condos inconspicuously tucked into historic Greystone townhouses to $700,000 for three-bedroom townhouses in new developments.
