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.

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.
