Ukrainian Village Homes For Sale
South
of Wicker Park, in the Windy City lays the quintessential neighborhood of Ukrainian
Village. Like Wicker Park, the Ukrainian Village is one of the many distinct
neighborhoods that comprise West Town; one of Chicago's over 200 hundred community areas, northwest of the Loop. The Ukrainian Village is
bordered by Chicago Avenue in the south, Division Street to the north and
western and Damen Avenue to the west and east respectively.
The
mainstay of the Ukrainian Village is its large Ukrainian community which
settled here in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In fact, at a
time when this neighborhood was being threatened on all sides by increasing
urban deterioration, the safety and sanctity of this middle-class neighborhood
was preserved largely due to the orthodox and catholic faith of its residents.
Famed architect Louis Sullivan's creation - the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox
Cathedral has continued to be a famous landmark of the Ukrainian Village since
1906 and catholic education is available right from kindergarten at both the
St. Nicholas Cathedral School and the St. Helen School. There is no escaping the neighborhood's
Ukrainian heritage and institutions such as the Ukrainian National Museum and
the Ukrainian Cultural Centre will serve to educate generations-to-come of
their roots despite rapid socio-economic change to this neighborhood due to
urban gentrification.
In a
bid to preserve the heritage of this neighborhood, in 2002, the Ukrainian Village
District was designated a Chicago Landmark District. The designated district
covers Thomas Street, Haddon Avenue and areas of Leavitt, Damen and Hoyne
Avenue.
Today, though the name of this neighborhood continues to embody its
origins, the population of the Ukrainian Village has become quite diverse. Due
to its convenient location and plentiful City Transit Authority bus routes
connecting it the Loop, real estate in this area is quite in demand. Though in
about one-third of the Ukrainian Village i.e., its vintage avatar, a home for
sale is difficult to come by, the remaining two-thirds of the Ukrainian Village
has plenty to offer by way of attractive apartments in red brick lined
buildings. So appealing is the historic style of the Ukrainian Village that
modern architects ensure that all new buildings conform to and complement the
neighborhood's signature style.
