West Englewood Neighborhood

Railways and residences dominate the West Englewood community. Migrants originally relocated to this neighborhood for labor jobs in this industrial neighborhood. West Englewood is one of the city’s areas of focus for revitalization, and the classic 20th-century architecture makes each restored building look like a gem. In 2003, West Englewood became home to the West Englewood Public Library branch and is part of the Street Revitalization Project. It features a reading garden and environmentally sustainable construction.
