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.
