Explore Back of the Yards

The Back-of-the-Yards neighborhood is one of the original communities of the American Industrial Revolution. This was the site of radical social change that moved the country forward with progress in labor relations and how society views laborers. The slaughterhouses and harsh working conditions attracted both reformers and authors who acted as advocates for the everyman. Now the neighborhood is an intriguing place to explore, with a plethora of parks and a strong, diversified community that is expanding on its industrial base. Classic Chicago bungalows are joined by other single-family homes and some condominium conversions to give homeowners a wide range of real estate to choose from. Specialty grocery stores and an international selection of restaurants round out the backdrop of Chicago's Back-of-the-Yards neighborhood.
