Top neighborhoods in Chicago

North Side

What it’s like to live in North Side

Chicago's diverse North Side encompasses everything from Wrigleyville's baseball energy to Lincoln Park's upscale shopping and Andersonville's Swedish heritage. Lake Michigan beaches and extensive park systems provide outdoor recreation throughout these neighborhoods, while historic theaters like the Riviera and Aragon Ballroom host national touring acts. Rental options range from vintage courtyard buildings with surprising architectural details to ultra-modern high-rises with lakefront views, creating opportunities across various price points and aesthetic preferences. Though winter parking challenges increase with snow accumulation, excellent public transportation including multiple L lines reduces car dependency compared to outlying neighborhoods. The area's density means competition for premier units moves quickly, requiring decisive action when ideal rentals become available in these desirable neighborhoods.
