Austin
Talk about a unique and booming area! Austin is the largest neighborhood in Chicago and is considered a separate area by many because of its booming population. Filled with historic areas, a unique history, and an eclectic collection of attractions, this West Side gem is often overlooked. It was once a part of the Cicero community, but growth in the area forced it to be annexed in 1899 into Chicago.
One of the most prominent attributes of Austin (and one that makes me visit frequently) is the fact that it is home to several Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Additionally, visitors and residents marvel at the former town hall, which is modeled after the famous Independence Hall, located in Philadelphia. The Historic District found here is quite impressive, and is enough to attract many visitors to the area.
Austin is, above all, a residential area that is a charming place to raise a family or escape from the demanding energy of the city. With much to enjoy in and around Austin, I’d include it as a great daytrip if you appreciate history. It’s not the place to go if you’re looking for excitement, but a true Chicago native would certainly include this as one of the most important neighborhoods in the city.
