Welcome
Chicagos Northwest Corridor is known as the land of single-family
bungalows, cultural landmarks and hidden gems. These neighborhoods
shine as a source of pride for all who know them, not just as a gateway
to the city, but as home to the talented people who make Chicago work.
Rich in cultural history dating back to the trade routes that became
Milwaukee Avenue and later the Kennedy and Edens expressways,
this area is known for its stable communities, and its Polish, German,
Irish and Greek businesses that still celebrate old-world quality.
Just minutes by Metra or CTA Blue Line to either downtown or
the suburbs, residents have long enjoyed huge beautiful parks,
award-winning theatre, easy shopping and vintage movie palaces.
Festivals like the Taste of Polonia, 6 Corners BBQ Fest, Jeff Park Arts &
Music Festival and Chicago Fringe Fest highlight the summers offerings.
Whether you are visiting Chicago or call it home, turn the page to
learn more about why families and residents know this area hosts
Chicagos best.
