Neighborhood

The Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, also known as Belmont-Cragin, sits halfway between Diversey and Fullerton Avenue, just over nine miles northwest of Downtown Chicago. Sitting eight miles northwest of the Loop, Cragin, once a hub of Chicago industry, now combines a suburban pace of life with urban conveniences. Locally owned restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are scattered around the neighborhood’s walkable layout. Contemporary apartment developments have popped up as more residents flock to areas outside Chicago. You’ll find mid-rise apartments in modern styles and long-standing rentals as well. Access to Interstate 90 and Chicago’s Blue Line makes it easy to commute into and out of the city.
