When looking for Chicago condos for sale, one of the most sought after communities is that of West Town. West Town offers affordable Chicago condos for sale and attracts younger professionals, artists, and musicians with its vibrant energy and active nightlife. The community gets it names from Western Avenue, which was considered its western boundary at the time of its settlement.

The neighborhoods comprising West Town and where one would find the best valued Chicago condos for sale are Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, the Ukrainian Village, the Eats Village, Smith Park, Noble Square, and River West.

Wicker Park attracts more young professionals and musicians than the other neighborhoods to its Chicago condos for sale due to its artistic reputation, active nightlife, and many shops and boutiques. On Hoyne Avenue at the end of the 19th century, the city's wealthiest brewers built mansions as their homes and the street is still called "Beer Baron Row" to this day.

While once Wicker Park and its Chicago condos for sale were a haven for mostly artists and young professionals, its easy access to the Chicago Loop has seen many families with children move in and urther diversify the neighborhood.

The western boundary of West Town is Humboldt Park. A larger Hispanic population dwells here, though many people prefer living in Humboldt Park's Chicago condos for sale, lofts, and apartments due to their lower costs and the fact that they're still close to Wicker Park.

South of Wicker Park is the Ukrainian Village and its Chicago condos for sale. As its name indicates, this neighborhood stands as the center of Chicago's large Ukrainian community. Its notable landmarks include: Roberto Clemente High School, St. Mary's Hospital, St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, and the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Cathedral.

East of the Ukrainian Village lies the East Village, which used to be called the East Ukrainian Village. The neighborhood's closeness to the elevated train and population density made it more of a work-class neighborhood than the Ukrainian Village. Much of the old housing has been torn away for new Chicago condos for sale, lofts, and apartments.

Smith Park, once known as "The Patch," is named for the city park on its border. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Chicago with families who have lived there for over six generations. A tank from World War II sits at the corner of the park, which is the neighborhood's main landmark.

East of the East Village and its Chicago condos for sale, is Noble Square. Sometimes, parts of this neighborhood are included in Wicker Park. It offers much of the same attractions, but isn't as expensive to live in.

Finally, there is River West. It is a small neighborhood with its Chicago condos for sale east of the Kennedy Expressway that complements the neighboring River North area. It features several loft buildings, which have been converted into residential use, St. John Cantius Church, and the Chicago Tribune's Freedom Center printing facility.
