Little Village

Little Village

An unmistakable mission-style arch welcomes citizens and visitors alike to Little Village, marking the beginning of a colorful business district. Urban beauty in the form of bakeries, retail stores, and restaurants line the streets in a buzz of activity.

Nestled between Cicero and Kedzie Avenues, Little Village is centrally located between two motorways and CTA routes that lead directly to UIC, the Loop, McCormick Place, and within walking distance of the artistic hub of Pilsen!

Little Village was once a neighborhood of immigrants working at the nearby factories and stockyards. It has since evolved into a tight knit community full of street art, Chicago food staples, and an unmatchable aura of individuality.
