East Village is the eastern part of Chicago's West Town
Even though it's 3.6 miles west of downtown Chicago, East Village is on the eastern portion of Chicago’s West Town, a collection of living and dining on the west side of I-90. Only nine by six blocks, East Village is primarily residential, with low-rise condos lining its streets. Still, residents are also within walking distance of a diverse range of restaurants and community gardens and parks. With downtown Chicago and its attractions just on the other side of the Interstate, those craving more to do can take the city’s public transportation the short distance to city parks and beaches.
East Village has a great mixture of beautiful residential homes, restaurants and retail.

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.
