McKinley Park Apartment Living
Neighborhood Vibe
The park that shares the neighborhood's name is a haven for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Nearly 70 acres, McKinley Park, features two gymnasiums, a gymnastics center, a kitchen, an auditorium, meeting rooms, a swimming pool, an artificial turf soccer field, baseball fields, basketball courts, an athletic field for football or soccer, a seasonal ice skating rink, a playground, and an interactive water spray feature. If the name of the park and the Chicago neighborhood sounds familiar, that's because it's named after William McKinley, 25th President of the United States.
Heart of the Neighborhood
Chicago residents love local craft beer, and Marz Community Brewing does not disappoint. There's something for everyone at the neighborhood's favorite BBQ Patio. Grab some of those brews from Marz Community Brewing and head to La Palapa, a BYOB Mexican seafood joint with rave reviews. Satisfy your old-school diner cravings at New Archview Restaurant, where the homestyle cooking is like moms.
