West Lawn draws long-term residents and frequent flyers
West Lawn borders Midway International Airport on Chicago's southwest outskirts. Other than air traffic, it’s a pretty quiet neighborhood. Quaint cottages and bungalows line the streets, where residents stay for the long term. Sidewalks are well-maintained, so you can walk to the restaurants along Pulaski Avenue and 63rd Street or to local youth soccer and baseball games at the parks. The Orange Line stops at the airport, so commuters can get to The Loop.
West Lawn is in close proximity to Chicago's Midway Airport on its western border.
West Lawn's residents take pride in their landscaping and community.

This neighborhood is predominantly single-family homes
Most homes here are Chicago bungalows and workers’ cottages built in the 40s and 50s. “It is a single-family neighborhood, but there are some apartments and two-flats and three-flats,” says broker Erika Villegas with Re/Max in the Village and a previous West Lawn resident. “It’s probably a 70-30 mix.” As a more residential part of the city, West Lawn homes often have personal touches, like little front gardens. Back alleyways run parallel to streets, hiding detached garages from sight, but offering spots to park instead of the street.
Chicago bungalows are the predominate style found in West Lawn.

West Lawn's transit options and the proximity to Midway
West Lawn residents are within walking distance of Midway International. “We’re on the edges of the city, so you have a lot of city workers like police officers and teachers, and then you have a mix of people who work at the airport,” Villegas says. When navigating West Lawn and the city, you can get around via:
The Orange Line: This L line ends at Midway but also goes downtown.
Buses: Stops line major streets like Pulaski and 63rd.
Interstate 55: Just 3 miles away, I-55 heads downtown and to the suburbs.
The well-maintained sidewalks and proximity to parks, restaurants and schools also mean the neighborhood is highly walkable. However, West Lawn doesn’t have designated bike lanes.

There is not much crime in this area, and I would describe it as relatively safe. Because there is a mall and college around here, one may see security officers driving around.on occasion.
