Why Write This Post? Neighborhoods are official and unofficial. Chicago is in Chicagoland. Suburbs are not a part of Chicago. Suburbs are not neighborhoods; neighborhoods are not suburbs. Chicago has neighborhoods, which are a part of the city. There are official and unofficial designations for the neighborhoods. Chicago is part of Chicagoland or the Chicago Metropolitan Area, which includes Chicago and its suburbs. Are you new to Chicago or a Windy Citizen that is looking for a change in scenery?
Chicago is a city composed of 77 individual community areas with their own distinctive flair. Your Chicago experience greatly depends on the neighborhood you live in, but there are just so many options to choose from.
From dense areas filled with high-rises to more residential pockets with leafy streets, Chicago has something for everyone.
River North is a playground for grown-ups — you'll find loft and high-rise living with some of the best views of the city. Hobnob over a cocktail at Arbella and take in the shopping along the iconic Magnificent Mile.
Just don't stop moving: River North is for energetic young professionals who prefer to set trends rather than follow them. For young parents seeking the safety of the suburbs without giving up Chicago's vibrant culture, Greektown , part of the Near West Side, is home.
The Hellenic tradition is alive and well in this neighborhood, and it goes without saying that you'll find some of the best Greek food in the city, both on the street and in restaurants like Athena. Greektown is also served by the Blue Line, which will take commuters right into downtown. To prepare for the fried house-made bologna sandwich at Au Cheval on Saturday, you might want to rabble-rouse at The Aviary the night before. It just tastes better that way. For folks who like to sip, brunch, nap, repeat, Fulton Market is sweet home Chicago.
The bay-windowed brownstones shoutout to Chicago's commitment to preservation are perfect for young couples seeking a slower pace with downtown just a mile away. When Mexican immigrants arrived in Chicago en masse during the s, they brought a dynamic culture with them. The Pilsen neighborhood continues to reinvent itself, and its inhabitants love its eclectic evolution. You'll find vibrant street art on pretty much any brick wall, and Prospectus Art Gallery is a repository of Latino artistic expression.
Wrigleyville is old-school Chicago through and through. In addition to Chicago's favorite ballpark, it's home to the infamous G Man Tavern, where you'll be greeted after work with an Old Style tallboy as long as you're not a Cardinals fan. This neighborhood is perfect for young professionals who care more about tradition than what's trendy. Picture the All-American neighborhood.
Quiet streets, craftsman-style homes, grand oak trees and neighbors who wave at you from their front porches.
