Explore West Elsdon
From its beginnings as low-lying wetlands, the first half of the 20th century saw slow development for the neighborhood now known as West Elsdon. But with the arrival of nearby industrial areas and Midway Airport, the neighborhood took off after the 1950s, and this sleepy outlying settlement transformed into a comfortable and popular Chicago community. Today the area is known for its well-maintained bungalows, spruce lawns, and growing diversity. A number of schools and public parks add to West Elsdon's cultural aspects, and a sizeable commercial corridor along Pulaski Road presents inhabitants with ample shopping and dining selections that include the Chicago favorite, Giordano's Pizza. The nightlife in West Elsdon is on the quiet side, sticking to just a few neighborhood watering holes.
