Tri-Taylor, roughly bordered by Halsted Street, Western Avenue, the Eisenhower Expressway and 15th Street, encompasses Chicago's Little Italy, the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Illinois Medical District. Once a port of entry for new immigrants, this area was packed with people from all over the world at the turn of the century. Today, Tri-Taylor is anchored by the University of Illinois at Chicago and Chicago's medical district. On the east end of Tri-Taylor, UIC is undergoing a major expansion. It also sold off a large swath of land that has been developed into University Village, a residential neighborhood with hundreds of new homes.
Tri-Taylor features a variety of affordably-priced housing options including new-construction and rehabbed lofts, 19th century row homes, town homes, single-family homes, two- and three-flats and larger vintage apartment buildings.
Tri-Taylor is a bustling area thanks to a number of government, business and community organizations working to further its development. It offers a convenient location for those who work in one of several nearby teaching hospitals or a neighboring high-tech research park. Residents can enjoy a slice of Chicago history along Taylor Street, the heart of Little Italy, which includes a number of legendary Italian restaurants. Chicago's famed Greektown dining district along Halsted Street is also nearby.
