Austin Neighborhood

Sprawling across the western boundaries of the city, Austin is Chicago's most populous neighborhood yet still maintains a strong sense of community. The sheer size of the area, which spans from Garfield Park in the east to the edge of Oak Park in the west, makes it one of the most expansive in Chicago and home to a wide range of architecture, culture, and personality. The area’s landmark location, Austin Town Hall Park and Cultural Center, was once the town hall of the Village of Cicero, Illinois. Today, the space is used for park activities including a variety of dance, music and theater classes, music productions and more.
