Around Graceland West
The community boasts lush landscapes, elegant residences, and tree-lined streets. You'll find two and three-story multi-unit and single-family homes to one-bedroom condos. Along Greenview Avenue you'll find pricier and larger homes that resemble mansions. Many were built during the Victorian era, but have since been renovated into multi-unit homes. Other sections of the neighborhood are scattered with more affordable, smaller homes like one-bedroom condos and two-bedroom single-family homes.
Although it doesn't have a large selection of restaurants, you’ll find a few options in Graceland West. You'll find American eateries and bistros along Southport Avenue as well as coffee shops, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine down Montrose Avenue. These dining options are limited but they don’t disappoint the local clientele for quality, tasty cuisine not far from home.
You'll see a variety of people from all walks of life in Graceland West. From young families, children, college students, and working professionals, the neighborhood is buzzing with friendly residents within a quiet setting.

Graceland West lacks your typical nightlife and bar scene yet makes up for it by providing a dose of culture. You can check out the local theater on Irving Park Road to watch performances, shows, and events. If you're interested in acting, you can find classes and workshops as well.

Graceland West is located near the historic Graceland Cemetery on Clark Street, which adds character and charm to the neighborhood. It may seem odd to take a stroll in a cemetery, but Graceland Cemetery is like no other. The cemetery resembles a Victorian-park like setting with a pastoral landscape, native plants, art and architecture. These sprawling cemetery grounds are also the final resting places of some notable people like George Pullman, Mashall Fileds, and Daniel Burnham.
