West Lawn Homes for Sale

Real Estate in West Lawn, Chicago Illinois

West Lawn, one of Chicago's 77 official community areas, is located on the southwest side of the city with a population of 31,886. It is in Cook County and considered to be a "melting pot" of sorts, due to its constant change of races moving in and out of the area, as well as the diversity that exists there. It has a small town atmosphere in the big city. West Lawn is a pleasant, family-friendly — almost suburban — quality lends a special warmth to this attractive bungalow community situated east of Midway Airport. But Westlawn isn't just your typical bedroom neighborhood. This distinctive west side address oozes rich culture, sparked by strong heritage and survived by healthy community ties. Westlawn is home to the country's only Lithuanian museum, established because of the neighborhood's largely Lithuanian population, which happens to top that of any other place in the world — besides Lithuania. The rise of a strong Latin-American populace in more recent years is apparent in the number of Mexican restaurants, taquerias and cantinas that have popped up throughout Westlawn. Mostly independent and family-owned, these popular dining spots have come to define the Westlawn neighborhood today, although consider the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture to be the area's most precious treasure. Living in West Lawn offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes. In West Lawn there are a lot of parks.
