About Cicero
Cicero (~85,000) is one of the largest municipalities in Illinois — a dense, historically Czech/Bohemian town turned famous for Al Capone lore, the Hawthorne Works (Western Electric's giant factory) and Morton College. Housing is classic Chicago workers' stock: bungalows, two-flats, and frame houses on tight lots, at prices far below the city.
