Located within the neighborhood of Near North Side, River North is a dynamic neighborhood known for its fine dining, art galleries, nightlife and riverwalk.

Plenty of transportation is available through the CTA, offering Brown & Red Line “L” stops and bus stops throughout the area. Home to a number of world-class eateries and attractions, it’s no surprise this is one of the most popular neighborhoods of Chicago. Oh, did we mention the daily whiffs of chocolate from Blommer Chocolate Factory?
As a River North Resident…
River North Style
While known for its abundance in high rises, River North is also home to former warehouses turned timber lofts, upscale row homes & more. A surge of new luxury high rises have given residents even more options to compliment the classics of River North’s skyline.
The Area
Public Transportation: A fan favorite, the Brown Line runs throughout the Northwest Side, starting in Albany Park into the Loop. Beginning all the way in Chicago’s North Shore suburb, Wilmette, the Purple Line passes through Evanston and into Chicago's North Side, while also extending even further south into the Loop during weekday rush hours. Chicago’s busiest route, the Red Line is great for getting around to the north & south sides of Chicago & for getting into the Loop. Chicago’s longest ‘L’ line & second busiest route, the Blue Line is great for getting anywhere from the Loop to O’hare, Forest Park, UIC & even Jefferson Park. The Green Line is great for getting from Oak Park to the West Side, into the Loop, and then to the South Side, West Englewood and Woodlawn. he city’s newest ‘L’ line, the Pink Line runs from Cicero to Chicago’s downtown. Serving the Southwest Side, the Orange line is great for getting from the Loop to Midway Airport.
Highway Access: I-90 is right there with I-290 not much further
Other Perks: Close to the Lake & Lake Shore Drive
