North Park is a northern neighborhood bounded by the Chicago River, Foster, St. Louis, Bryn Mawr and Kedzie and was originally occupied by German and Swedish settlers. It is home to North Park College as well as Northeastern Illinois University.

North Park contains many large homes and very few apartments except those around the college and university. The average price of a single-family home was $239,000.

Several CTA bus routes serve North Park and Lake Shore Drive and I-90/94 are only about a 15 minute drive away.

The 39th Ward of the city, particularly North Park, boasts a variety of ethnic cuisines as well.
