North Center

North Center is a relatively small neighborhood that is imbued with a relaxed small town atmosphere. The community offers a variety of real estate and housing options including neatly maintained single-family homes, plus a variety of condos and flats. Centered around the convergence of Lincoln Avenue, Damen and Irving Park Road, North Center is home to a commercial potpourri of retail shops, restaurants and taverns, as well as live entertainment including music and theater. The Chicago River flows through the community; on its banks are a number of well-used parks and industrial areas, many of which are currently in the midst of redevelopment.
