River West/East Ukrainian Village
The boundries of River West are defined as Division Street to the north, Grand Avenue to the south, the Chicago River to the east, and Ashland Avenue to the west.
This neighborhood has seen many exciting changes over the last few years, as existing warehouses have been converted to funky residential lofts. With its close proximity to Printers Row, River North and the Loop, River West is a great choice for those who seek downtown convenience and entertainment without sky high rent prices. Ukrainian Village is a largely residential area that reflects the German, Polish and Ukrainian immigrants who settled on the North Side in the late 1800s and early 1900s. River West is just East of Ukrainian Village and comes with all that Ukrainian Village has to offer.
Ukrainian Village has an ethnically diverse population today, but remains a focal point for the Chicago area's Ukrainian community because of the Ukrainian businesses, organizations and churches that are based in the neighborhood. |
