North Park

North Park is a tranquil, tree-lined neighborhood on Chicago’s Northwest Side, known for its blend of suburban calm and urban amenities. Originally settled by Swedish and German immigrants, North Park today is a diverse community with significant White, Asian, and Hispanic populations, and is home to North Park University, which brings a vibrant, international flair to the area. The neighborhood features a mix of brick Georgian homes, bungalows, and apartments, and is celebrated for its abundant green spaces, including the 46-acre North Park Village Nature Center and the nearby LaBagh Woods. Residents enjoy a variety of global cuisines, a strong sense of community, and easy access to parks, trails, and local landmarks like the Bohemian National Cemetery and the Scandinavian-inspired Tre Kronor restaurant. North Park offers a quieter, family-friendly lifestyle while remaining well-connected to the rest of the city.
