Find Apartments on Chicago’s Far North Side

Far North Side

Apartments for rent on the Far North Side of Chicago are found in many neighborhoods. Thus, a sizable chunk of the city’s apartment renters calls the Far North Side home. This region extends northward along the Lake Michigan shoreline and westward to O’Hare International Airport. This region includes neighborhoods that are famous for apartments that offer serene lake views and access to spacious parks and green areas.

Some of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods, such as Albany Park and Rogers Park, are included. Major transit routes in this part of the city include the northern terminus of Lake Shore Drive, the Kennedy and Edens expressways, and the CTA Red and Brown Line trains that make stops throughout Far North Side neighborhoods.

With such a variety of neighborhoods and a wide swath of Chicago’s territory included in this region, the choices for apartment rentals are abundant and diverse. Have your selection from high-rise buildings clustered by the beach or single-family homes spread out along quiet streets.
