Neighborhood Description Once an exclusive, Victorian-style suburb on Chicago's south side, Oakland is a small community area that is home to one of Chicago's many historic districts. The Oakland District, built between 1872 to 1905 by Cicero Hine and other various architects, includes a wide range of unique architectural styles including Romanesque, Classical Revival, and "medieval-inspired French and Spanish architecture." The homes that distinguish the community, though, are the Queen Ann-style residences, which are "generally simple, yet elegant in ornamentation," and feature large porches and multiple chimneys. iMove Chicago is your complete resource for Chicago apartments, lofts, condos, and homes in Oakland.
