Neighborhood guide

Wicker Park

Architecture with an independent streak

Overview

Living in Wicker Park

Grand Victorians built by German and Polish merchants line the blocks around the park, while the six-corners intersection keeps its record shops, bookstores, and live music.

Loud where you want it, quiet a block away. Vintage shopping, late dinners, and a genuine music scene.
