If you want to experience a north side neighborhood life in Chicago, this is perfect. I’ve lived within blocks for 2 of my years on this earth, so I would know.
Very close to the train, but you won’t hear it (or many loud city sounds) from the location.
It’s best to park then use public transportation from there. Park anywhere for free for 7 days max almost anywhere south of Belmont, east of Broadway, north of Diversey, and west of Sheridan. Once you find one, just leave it for the stay, and walk the few blocks back to the unit.
Convenient necessity shopping across the street, awesome restaurants and culture within a 10 minute walk. 10 stops on the red, brown or purple lines north or south gets you essentially to everywhere.
We came for our boys’ first Cubs game. Absolutely perfect location for that. Took the train up one stop on the way, and walked home.
It’s a solid place with quiet neighbors!
