Nine miles southwest of downtown Chicago, Illinois, the city's West Lawn neighborhood sits in a key location for access to transportation and recreation. Chicago Midway International Airport lies immediately to its west, and the expansive 323-acre Marquette Park and golf course to the east give residents easy entry to these top-city amenities. Residents enjoy the neighborhood's own West Lawn Park, featuring more than 16 acres of land and facilities. The park includes an auto shop, fitness center, gym, ice skating rink, and handball/racquetball courts.
West Lawn has a richly diverse population. Availability of homes for rent and easy commutes using mass transit attract many residents to this well-established community. Locals gather at the popular West Lawn branch of the public library. You also find neighbors at Mr. C's Midway Bar watching sports or quenching their after-work thirst with beverages brewed locally.
