Quality of Life & Community
With the Chicago River and lovely parks, lovers of the outdoors have much to enjoy in North Center. Softball and volleyball leagues are hosted at Revere Park. Just to the north, Welles Park is a Chicago favorite. In the summer, musicians gather there for impromptu concerts, but the indoor pool is popular all year round. Just across the river, Horner Park is one of the largest and most amenities-rich parks in the city. Those interested in the area’s history should check out St. Benedict’s Church, a breathtaking architectural masterpiece built-in 1918.
