Graceland West

Located in Graceland West
 

Graceland West is a uniquely quiet and lush residential area only ½ mile by ¼ mile in size. It may be small, but this neighborhood is big on amenities and proximity to downtown Chicago’s main attractions. Located just a mile from Lake Michigan and in the center of Chicago’s north side, Graceland West is nestled between the well-known neighborhoods of Andersonville, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square and Wrigleyville, as well as the trendy Southport Avenue shopping/dining/entertainment corridor.

Access and convenience are the watchwords of Graceland West. There’s plenty of easy, safe parking and you can get to downtown Chicago via CTA train and bus as well as Metra trains (the same train that takes music enthusiasts to Ravinia Park in Highland Park for outdoor concerts).

You won’t find Gracie Mansion here or spot the ghost of Elvis, but the area is named for historic Graceland Cemetery. This park-like setting features monuments designed by notable sculptors and architects honoring many of Chicago's most prominent early citizens: Marshall Field, Potter Palmer, Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe and George Pullman, among others. Graceland Cemetery tours are offered weekly, in season.

Whether for business, pleasure or both, visitors who come to this neighborhood appreciate the gracious Graceland West homes, beautiful parks and landscaping. Enjoy Warner Park and Gardens, for example, a community park with a charming gazebo and flower-lined walk.

Discover an enormous range of other things to see, do and experience, including the Mercury Theatre for live performances and the Music Box movie theater, which offers a wide range of foreign, art and avant-garde films.  Dine at sublime local restaurants, featuring Mediterranean, Contemporary Italian, gourmet Mexican, Ecuadorian and Cajun cuisine as well as a Brazilian Steakhouse.

Want a More Neighborly Way To Stay Overnight? Avoid the cold, impersonal downtown Chicago hotels in favor of one of our warm, inviting B&Bs. In fact, pick Joy’s Joy, A Victorian Bed & Breakfast. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a quiet place with charm and comfort.  A European would feel right at home at this B&B as would architecture buffs, antiques enthusiasts and gardeners, plus there’s a superb garden room for quiet reading or meditation.
