Neighborhood

River North is perhaps the most stylish section of Chicago, and that’s no small accomplishment. This neighborhood features a truly staggering array of art galleries and a cutting-edge design district, making it a magnet for locals who are passionate about the visual arts.

The dining and nightlife scenes are just as diverse and exquisite as the local arts community, with a massive assortment of restaurants, bars, and clubs catering to every taste. The tech sector is well represented here and attracts local professionals, with major companies like Google operating regional headquarters in River North.

The landscape is a treasure trove of architecture, featuring many well-preserved historic buildings well over a century old alongside midcentury masterpieces and ultra-modern skyscrapers. The Magnificent Mile runs along the east side of the neighborhood, and Downtown is right across the river. Residents pay a premium to live here, but most agree it’s well worth the price tag.
