Living in West Town

West Town’s culinary scene is nothing short of exceptional, featuring Michelin-starred Mexique for elevated Mexican cuisine, Forbidden Root for botanic beers and creative pub fare, and Homestead on the Roof for seasonal rooftop dining. The neighborhood pulses with nightlife at venues like Burnt City Brewery where you can bowl while sampling craft beers, On Tour Brewing Company for laid-back microbrews, and Output Lounge for some of the city’s best wings. Art galleries dot the streets, vintage shops line Milwaukee Avenue, and the Ukrainian Village cultural district adds European flair. Community events like the West Town Art Walk and seasonal street festivals bring neighbors together throughout the year.

The real estate landscape in West Town is incredibly diverse, offering vintage greystones with wrap-around porches, classic two- and three-flat buildings with original hardwood floors and decorative moldings, converted warehouse lofts with exposed brick and timber beams, and modern condo developments with floor-to-ceiling windows and chef’s kitchens. Tree-lined residential streets feature charming single-family homes, while major corridors showcase new construction apartment buildings with rooftop decks, fitness centers, and in-unit laundry. Whether you’re seeking the character of a 1920s courtyard building or the amenities of a brand-new high-rise, West Town delivers architectural variety that appeals to every taste and lifestyle.

Crystal, and Bridget are live and GPA savers. They are efficient and honest. They aren’t going to BS you around town showing you places nobody wants or places way out of your price range. Straight Service. You don’t worry about being just a quota with them. You are treated as an individual and they really do listen to your preferences and they pay great attention to the details. They also are willing to “ask”. Landstar as a whole isn’t selling snake oil & pipe dreams. They are selling Property. First come first serve basis. ORDER UP! Thanks again to everybody!

I can’t sing Crystal’s praises enough for her help in getting me my apartment! She was communicative, quick in getting me approved, and so kind throughout the entire process. I really was taken care of and will be recommending to anyone I know looking to find their next home!

My experience with Landstar Realty was painless, quick, and amazing. My leasing agent Mark Smith was extremely attentive and was able to work with my extremely short timeline to find me a perfect apartment in time for work. Easy to contact and overall one of the best leasing experiences I’ve been through yet.

Crystal is the best. She helped us buy our first home and we could not have done it without her guidance. She made us feel like family, we knew we were in good hands from day 1.
