East Village
Modern Filipino restaurants and fresh pasta in East Village
Most of East Village’s restaurants are along its busier streets, like Augusta Boulevard and Division Street. Kasama is a modern Filipino bakery and restaurant and the first Filipino restaurant in the world to receive a Michelin Star. While people come from all over to taste their ube-filled Basque cakes, locals know to order ahead online to skip the line that stretches down the street. At Tortello, people can order fresh pasta, like the tortelli di burrata, for dining in or dried to cook at home. Beatnik West Town serves Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine in a Bohemian-styled setting. Grocery stores are within a mile of East Village with a Mariano’s along Chicago Avenue just 0.6 miles away and a Jewel-Osco about 0.8 miles north in Wicker Park Commons.East Village's movie nights and West Town's community festivals
In the summer, Commercial Club Park hosts a movie series, inviting residents to come out and watch fun films released within the past couple of years. As a part of West Town, residents can attend annual traditions like West Fest Chicago, with concerts and vendor markets featuring local restaurants and artisans. West Town Art Walk highlights this portion of Chicago’s growing arts scene with walking tours and special deals through nearby galleries. Further, people can also enjoy city happenings. “Grant Park has a summer schedule,” says Chicago native Stephanie Mason, real estate manager with 5th Group Realty and Management. “Yoga on Saturday mornings, Sunday gospel—things people don’t fly in for, but are events for just us locals.”Low-rise Italianate and contemporary condos
East Village’s low-rise condo complexes feature Italianate and Chicago Greystones mixed with more contemporary and minimalistic brick buildings. Trees create a canopy of leaves over the streets and sidewalks. Iron fences often encase front gardens and stoops, locked so only residents and administrators can access the front landing. With street parking dominating the streets, walkability is an important factor here, so residents don’t lose their spots while out at the park or getting a bite to eat. These condos typically list between $550,000 and $750,000, though monthly condo fees can range anywhere from $200 to $400 per month.Community parks within walking distance and Chicago's city parks
Nestled between condos, community parks like Bertha Honoré Palmer Park feature playgrounds for local kids. Commercial Club Park has basketball and volleyball courts, along with a fieldhouse where local sports leagues play. Greenhouse Garden has been the neighborhood’s community garden since 1998, inviting locals to come garden and tend to plants together on Sundays. To the east along Lake Michigan, Grant Park features attractions like the Chicago Institute of Art and the Clarence F. Buckingham Memorial Fountain, but Mason also points out that locals love to use the green space for picnics.Learning fine arts at Wells Community Academy High
East Village is part of Chicago Public Schools, where students can attend A.N. Pritzker School for kindergarten through eighth grade. Niche grants it an A-minus ranking and lists it as the 19th most diverse public middle school in Illinois. After, students continue to William H. Wells Community Academy High School, which features a fine arts academy. Niche grants it a C-plus ranking.Walking or busing around East Village
While people can walk throughout East Village, buses stop along Division Street and Chicago Avenue, connecting to restaurants and grocery stores. To the east, I-90 links commuters with downtown Chicago, though people can also hop on the subway at Division Station on Division Street, where the Blue Line also runs to downtown. Also on Division Street, Ascension Saint-Mary Chicago is the nearest hospital, just 0.8 miles from East Village. When traveling outside the city, Chicago Midway International Airport is 10.5 miles away, though Chicago O’Hare International Airport isn’t much further, only 15.5 miles from East Village.
