The Hope Village name stems from the adage that “it takes a village to raise a child.” In this case, we are nurturing the belief that each of us holds the power to create the equitable, healthy, sustainable community we not only imagine, but deserve.
Most of the homes in the Hope Village were built in the early part of the 20th century. Some of the homes are modest, wood-frame structures; a significant number are brick homes, with many two family flats and multifamily units.
Beautiful Parks & Gardens
We have many rejuvenating outdoor spaces, including Cool Cities park, Salsinger playfield, La Salle Ford Playlot, Ben Hill park, and community gardens throughout.
Great Assets!
