Top neighborhoods in Chicago

Northwest Side
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.
