What We Love Most
Stately single-family homes and classic courtyard apartments make up most of the housing stock for the Graceland West neighborhood. While it’s easy to walk from a Graceland West apartment to a Cubs game or a concert at Wrigley Field, this neighborhood is a good enough distance from all the commotion, street closures, and scarce street parking typical game day at Wrigley.

One popular option is getting around Graceland West via Irving Park Rd; the CTA no. 22 Clark St bus is also available. The Irving Park stop on the CTA Brown line is at the neighborhood’s western edge.

Around the Neighborhood
General
Immediately north of Wrigleyville and east of Ravenswood, the neighborhood gets its name from Graceland Cemetery, where several notable early Chicagoans are buried, including John Peter Altgeld, Carter Harrison, Sr., Carter Harrison, Jr., and Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. This neighborhood is also home to the former Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel.
History in Graceland West
The Louis Sullivan-designed Getty Tomb was built for Carrie Eliza Getty and commissioned by her husband, Henry Harrison Getty.

The city designated it a landmark on March 10, 1971.
