West Ridge

West Rogers Park, also known as West Ridge or Nortown, is a convenient 10 miles from the Loop on the city's north side. This quiet Chicago neighborhood is an affordable trend on the rise where diversity flourishes in the community, culture and cuisine. In West Rogers Park middle-class living meets old Chicago aristocracy with a hodgepodge of up market, historic mansions and more reasonably priced Georgians, ranches and bungalows. Beautiful brick buildings, lush vegetation, and an appreciation of past architectural treasures are found at every turn. Also around every turn are incredible culturally inspired restaurants that tip the scale at both ends with wonderful fine dining spots and quick bites on the go. West Rogers Park is a Chicago neighborhood that doesn't conform to retail fads, instead staying true to its heritage and traditions with ethnic-centric boutiques and specialty shops.
