West Town, located between the Kennedy Expressway and the Chicago River, is a residential and creative Chicago neighborhood with brick two-flats and warehouse-to-loft streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Milwaukee Avenue at Damen Avenue, where coffee bars, record shops, galleries, and late-night kitchens line the diagonal corridor. Landmark storefronts and stages such as The Empty Bottle, the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, and the Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center act as cultural anchors. Greystone blocks and converted industrial buildings shape a streetscape that shifts from quiet side streets to busy commercial strips. Small parks and the 606 trail edge support walking and cycling routes across the area.
