West Beverly

A small community nestled between city and suburbs — and home to many of the city's police officers and firefighters — West Beverly has long been known as one of Chicago's safest and most stable neighborhoods. The majority of West Beverly's residential streets are lined with single-family homes that vary in size, style and price point. These properties offer plenty of outdoor space to enjoy gardening or have a backyard barbecue with the family. Any multi-unit housing in West Beverly is located along the community's main thoroughfares, which outline the neighborhood borders. The dining options in this neck of the woods include both popular restaurant chains and cherished family-run eateries. And on one particular day of the year, West Beverly locals get decked out in green and summons their inner-Irish side for the classic St. Patty's Day Parade, which cruises right through the neighborhood along Western Avenue – a boisterous south side tradition that culminates in this otherwise hushed enclave of Chicago.
