Woodlawn

Originally a host of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, Woodlawn has long been an important community area of Chicago, both because of its ties to the past, and its plans for the future. As the inspiration for "A Raisin in the Sun," and also the future site of the Obama Presidential Center, this neighborhood is rich with history and culture. Close to the University of Chicago's campus and home to several strong community organizations, Woodlawn has long invested itself in the city's (and the nation's) political and social evolution. In addition to the overall urban academic atmosphere, residents are also lucky to find themselves within walking distance of some of the largest green spaces of Chicago. Jackson Park, for example, covers almost 1/3 of the community's land area and provides all with direct access to Lake Michigan. Go for a bike ride to take advantage of all that Woodlawn has to offer and make use of the excellent public transportation available for your daily commute, or if you would like to discover more of the city's gems beyond this lively neighborhood.

    "There are a few parks, and decent schools for our children. For the most part it’s quiet and calm. There are a few groceries stores in the neighborhood that you can shop at as well as a family dollar that’s open till 10 pm. I believe it’s a good place to live and the families in the WoodLawn community are working families."

  • Brittany C.
    "I’ve lived in Woodlawn for 6 years now and it’s gentrifying more and more. I’ve noticed rent prices increasing for very cramped apartments. I don’t mind a diverse neighborhood, I actually welcome it, but not at the expense of not being able to afford a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment on this side of town. Overall, my block is quiet and I love the area, but feel that I’ll be pushed out sooner or later. "
