Top neighborhoods in Chicago

  • North Side

    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.

    Northwest Side

    What it’s like to live in Northwest Side

    Family-friendly character defines Chicago's Northwest Side, where communities like Portage Park and Jefferson Park maintain authentic neighborhood identity with European influences throughout. Rental options include bungalows, two-flats, and apartment buildings with more space than similarly priced properties in trendier districts. While the area offers excellent access to both O'Hare Airport and the Blue Line to downtown, the residential character means fewer entertainment options within walking distance despite good transportation connections. Well-suited for families, city employees, and professionals seeking genuine Chicago neighborhoods with more space and parking who don't require extensive nightlife options beyond local taverns and restaurants with established community character.

    What it’s like to live in Lincoln Park

The neighborhood features a mix of brownstones, greystones, and luxury high-rises creating varied rental options across multiple price points. While offering amenities including the free Lincoln Park Zoo, Diversey Harbor, and endless dining options, the popularity comes with premium rental rates and competitive application processes for the most desirable buildings.
