Albany Park Apartments

The apartment options in this far north side neighborhood are predominately studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and only a select few 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom apartments for rent.  Rentals in Albany Park remain an affordable option to nearby neighborhoods like Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Irving Park, and Budlong Woods.  Albany Park has a fairly large geographic footprint covering almost 2 square miles with a population of around 50,000 residents.

More than 40 different languages are spoken on the streets and in the local schools. At one time, Albany Park was nicknamed “Korea Town” because of the high concentration of Korean restaurants, grocers, and traders. In fact, a section of Lawrence Avenue is often referred to as “Seoul Drive.” If you're a fan of Korean barbeque, Domu recommends Chicago Kalbi (and was not paid for that endorsement). Noon O Kebab is a big draw for Persian fare, and Arun’s Thai Restaurant receives consistent praise from its devoted patrons. The neighborhood includes Ronan Park, River Park, Ronan Park, Horner Park, and the expansive Eugene Field Park, which is home to the Albany Park Theater Project, a popular community institution that gives local kids a chance to express their talents. Residents also enjoy the traditional facilities for tennis, soccer, baseball, and football, as well as the playgrounds and a spray pool.

Apartments rent has steadily increased in recent years as many have discovered this tranquil neighborhood, but Albany Park apartments remain affordable with rehabbed vintage apartments. courtyard apartment buildings, condos for rent, and multi-flat bungalows predominate the rental market in Albany Park Chicago.  This is a pet friendly neighborhood with many dog friendly apartments for rent throughout the year.

For public transportation, the CTA Brown line runs right through the center of Albany Park allowing renters to commute quickly and easily.  Walk to any one of three Brown line stations: Kimball, Kedzie, and Francisco.  CTA bus routes available in Alby Park include #53 Pulaski, #78 Montrose, #81 Lawrence, #82 Kimball-Homan, #92 Foster, and #93 California.  If you are driving this north side neighborhood sits long side the I-90/94 expressway to the west.
