North Center

Nestled among several other famous neighborhoods on the North Side of Chicago, North Center is uniquely welcoming and vibrant, even among its competition. Found along the many 19th and 20th century homes and buildings is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, music establishments, and theaters. In addition to the several parks in the community, residents can also make their way over to the Clark Park Boat House, or the local farmers’ market from June to October in their free time. Although Ribfest Chicago draws meat lovers in from the rest of the city each summer, lucky locals can choose from globally inspired restaurants and cafes every day, which offer delicious eats such as classic American to regionally specific cuisine found only abroad. The good public transportation available in North Center makes it easily accessible, whether for working professionals, Chicago soccer fans, or students commuting to one of the top-ranked public high schools in Illinois.
