On Friday, I rode down to the
Villa District in
Irving Park. This is a very nice area of bungalows and bungalow-style homes which were built on wide lots between 1907 and 1925.
The area is only 4 blocks wide from east to west (Hamlin, Avers, Springfield and Harding) and roughly triangular, with Addison bordering to the south, Pulaski to the west and the Metra train tracks and Avondale Ave slicing it from NW to SE. Avers and Harding both have a parkway running down the middle of the street, separating traffic flow in two directions. Hamlin and Springfield streets are normal widths.
There are decorative square stone pillars on all corners within the neighborhood. Each pillar says "Villa" on each side and has a planter on top.
