Live In River North, Be In
The Middle Of Everything
From an intimate steakhouse and Japanese comfort food to boutique shopping and green space, living in Chicago’s River North neighborhood is all about abundant choices.
Our apartments near the Magnificent Mile give you convenient access to bike paths and beaches along Lake Michigan and chic stores at the Merchandise Mart for furnishing your new home. You can stroll the neighborhood’s galleries to find your next art piece, pop into one of the best new brunch venues and debate the merits of custom cocktails at the city’s hottest bars. Residents also live steps away from public transportation, including bus stops and CTA train stations.
A Vibrant History
River North sits just north of Chicago’s Loop and the Chicago River, and west of the infamous Michigan Avenue. What started as an industrial, warehouse neighborhood is now a cultural hub for everything from eclectic galleries to vibrant bars and eateries.
When many of the warehouses closed down in the 1970s, the spaces became a hip spot for artists and writers looking to hone their craft while drawing influence from these loft and studio spaces.
As more and more artists moved to this burgeoning cultural center, this Chicago neighborhood transformed into a bustling, chic neighborhood perfect for young urban professionals and artists alike, all filled with the best antique shops, boutiques and a high concentration of enticing restaurants.
The Best Things
To Do
Living in River North means that you’ll never run out of things to do or places to see in downtown Chicago. When you’re not enjoying our urban rooftop or coffee bar, venture out to find unique antiques for your new apartment or shop at any number of specialty home decor stores.

The Options
Are Endless
Like we mentioned, in River North, the things to do are unlimited. When it comes to grabbing a bite these are a few of our favorites:
Osteria Via Stato
Tanta Chicago
SIFR
RAMEN-SAN
The same goes for drinking. These are a few of our favorite local spots:
Everything In One Spot
Eating and drinking aren’t the only activities to do in River North, either. While there’s a good focus on both, the neighborhood caters to much more and often incorporates ways to do a bit of everything in one spot like playing old arcade games while drinking your favorite microbrew at Headquarters River North.
If you’re looking for one place to find modern, elegant home decor and furnishings, the Mart is the place to go. Entertainment is also nearby. Venture out to the Loop and Magnificent Mile for everything from the newest movies at AMC to the best theater at the Tony Award-winning Lookingglass Theatre.
