Small-town feel with a culturally rich environment.
Often called the "Gateway to Chicago," Jefferson Park is a small neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chicago. It boasts a small-town feel that lends itself to a slow-paced life. The culture is saturated with rich history and is home to many small businesses, including restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.
Jefferson Park offers varied architectural styles, including bungalows, cottages, and Victorian homes. Many are mid-century homes with basements that provide residents with plenty of space along with very private yards. Lush greenery and open spaces in the parks and golf courses surround the community. Performing arts, churches, and a popular bowling alley provide plenty of opportunities to spend time with friends and family.
Jefferson Park’s culture is filled with people willing to help each other out and build relationships through organizations like Olive’s Garden, a community garden whose volunteers raise and grow food for those in need. Vitality is part of the community spirit here. Redevelopment brings new vitality, but turn-of-the-century buildings are also preserved through the Northwest Chicago Historical Society.
Walking, biking and golfing are popular activities among residents, and the forest preserve offers a welcome respite from busy city life. The neighborhood theater provides a wide variety of performances throughout the year. When you are ready for an afternoon or night out socializing, the museums, art galleries, and concert venues of Chicago are not too far.
