The boundries are north by Chicago Avenue, south by expressway I-290, east by Western Avenue, and west by Cicero Avenue The community is divided into east and western sections.

The northern boundries of this community have undergone a great deal of gentrification is recent years, with new development springing up daily. The community’s most noted feature is the Garfield Park and Conservatory located at the intersection of Lake and Central Park Avenue. The park has the largest botanical garden in Chicago and has many enrichment programs for families to share.

New condominiums have taken over some of the landscape of East Garfield Park, but the western portion of the community is still know for the bungalows, multi-units, and ranch style homes.
