Often compared to the Village in New York, Wicker Park is made up of a good mix of historic homes, townhouses, condos and apartments.
History of Wicker Park
The neighborhood is named after its public park, a 4-acre piece of land donated to the city by the Wicker brothers in 1870. The brothers were developers who purchased 80 acres of land and constructed the neighborhoods streets and drainage system.
The city built a lake in the center of the park and did a significant amount of landscaping, making it a lovely park. Surrounding the park is a lovely residential area consisting of mostly brick and stone houses in varying architectural styles, thanks to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 when people stopped building with wood.
