General
Renting an apartment in River North Chicago can often mean choosing from one of the many luxury apartments for rent in this glitzy neighborhood in downtown Chicago.
A construction boom of new buildings in the River North and surrounding neighborhood areas has resulted in a substantial supply of new rentals. Renters searching for the crisp feeling of a brand-new apartment can usually find something to their taste in one of the River North luxury buildings.
It's true: apartments for rent in River North are more expensive than in nearby downtown Chicago neighborhoods. Not to mention the numerous amenities. But after factoring in the convenience of being a short walk from many of Chicago's downtown office headquarters, not to mention the array of famous nightlife and dining destinations in the neighborhood, the prospect of renting in River North presents tremendous upside for renters who are seeking that kind of lifestyle.
The new buildings in River North have focused on providing every amenity possible. Apartments with 24-hour concierge services, fully equipped fitness centers, indoor golf simulators, heated dog runs and pet grooming stations, indoor parking and electric vehicle charging stations, on-site dry cleaners, secure package delivery, smart thermostats, keyless entry, and a whole slew of other bonuses for renters come standard with the territory in River North.
The River North neighborhood has long been known for its eclectic mix of famous restaurants and art galleries and for being Chicago's premier furniture and design showroom district. Retail, hotels, and restaurants fill this area. Bloomingdale's home store, Nordstrom's, a Canada Goose flagship store, the Peninsula Hotel, and the House of Blues, among countless other illustrious retail, dining, and hospitality options.
Home to many of the city's storied steakhouses and several 5-star restaurants, River North represents the old guard of the city's culinary tradition. It's still a highly sought-after location for restaurants, clubs, and hotels because of its central location and accessibility.
And with all these beautiful things just across the river from the Loop, the convenience of renting a River North apartment may seem second to none, even if there weren't two separate 'L' lines running right through the neighborhood and ready to transport renters to other parts of town.

History in River North
The old North Side Gang’s headquarters were above Schofield’s, Dean O'Banion's flower shop at 738 N State St, across from Holy Name Cathedral, a visible landmark from many River North apartments today. After O'Banion suckered John Torrio into buying his half-interest in a brewery for $500,000 shortly before the feds raided it, Torrio’s South Side Gang exacted revenge. They sent (though it's never been proven) Mike Genna, John Scalise, and Alberto Anselmi to the flower shop and killed O’Banion while he was cutting chrysanthemums on November 10th, 1924. His killing sparked the brutal gang war culminated in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
