Neighborhood

Dotted with parks and adjacent to Interstate 290, Near West Side is the perfect neighborhood for any commuter looking for refreshing, wide-open space. Interstate 290 runs through the south side of the neighborhood, which lies roughly two miles away from Chicago's city center. Public transportation options include the Blue Line rapid transit system and several bus routes, which make it easy to get around the area. Rentals, which incorporate both modern and historic properties, cost a little more than the Chicago city average because of the neighborhood's proximity to downtown.

If you’re looking for what to do in Near Westside, look no further! United Center, home to the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks, sits on the neighborhood's east side. In addition to featuring basketball and hockey games, this versatile venue regularly hosts concerts and other entertainment events, making it a social hub for locals and visitors alike.
