The smell of fresh masa and cilantro hits you the moment you turn onto Division Avenue—over a dozen Mexican and Latin restaurants line the street, and Rodriguez Supermarket sits ready with specialty products you won't find elsewhere. That sensory jolt is Garfield Park: a 1,576-acre neighborhood of more than 15,000 residents where hand-painted murals brighten the blocks, Victorian homes from the 1800s sit alongside Tudor Revivals and Dutch Colonial houses, and the namesake park anchors everything with its 29.54 acres of green—playground, baseball diamond, tennis courts, and a splash pad all within reach.
