Apartments in Ukranian Village Chicago

Brownstone Homes Paired Cathedrals and Arts in Chicago’s Ukranian Village

Ukrainian Village is located just northwest of the Chicago Loop. Bounded by Division Street north, Chicago Avenue south, Western Avenue west, and Damen Avenue to the east, Ukrainian Village is sometimes considered a part of West Town. First settled by Slovakian and Polish immigrants, the area still retains its Ukrainian roots and vibe. Even as early as the 1930s there were numerous Ukrainian Catholic parishes in the area, the most famous being St. Nicholas Cathedral. The village is abundantly green in the summertime adding a peaceful lushness to the otherwise bustling areas in nearby West Town. You will find a great sidewalk sale here during the warm summer months, and that sale encompasses a large 10 city block area.
