That said, it's not all about affordable apartments in this northwest side neighborhood. There are some genuinely gorgeous single-family homes and stately houses for rent, primarily if renters draw their search closer to the neighborhood's namesake park. Humboldt Park Chicago apartments are available in nearly all sizes. This neighborhood has lots of studio apartments and one-bedroom apartments. This family-oriented neighborhood also has many more extensive floor plans ranging from 2 to 3-bedroom and occasionally four-bedroom apartments, usually available as single-family homes for rent.
New construction condos and a few boutique apartment buildings have been built in recent years, but for the most part, the flavor of these apartments is vintage. And it's pretty glorious. Humboldt Park apartments that face one of the neighborhood's sprawling green boulevards or parkways can usually be found. Traffic circles overflowing with green plants dot the intersections of many side streets. Renters might expect a premium price for having a view of so much green space, but apartments here are among the most affordable on the city's northwest side.
Humboldt Park Chicago apartments are in a neighborhood named for a 207-acre park, one of the brightest gems on the "emerald necklace," the interconnected ring of parks and boulevards designed by Chicago urban planners during the 19th Century. Humboldt Park enjoys all the attributes of quality recreational space: bike paths, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and playgrounds; although it's the extras -- winding roads, a boathouse, a lagoon, cloisters, fountains, and statues -- that make it an exceptional public park.
With acres of parkland surrounding them, this Chicago neighborhood presents renters with a wide array of choices if they want to branch out from their homes and get a taste of nature in this eclectic and scenic neighborhood. Residents can walk to the famous and beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory to the south. Humboldt Park is also the proud home of The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture.
Public transportation is quite convenient in Humboldt Park. Metra train stops on the north and south ends of the neighborhood. On the north end at Grand and Cicero, residents can hop on the MD-W line, and on the south end, the UP-W line is available at Kedzie and Kinzie.
