a map of Humboldt Park
The creation of Humboldt Park linked together Chicago’s boulevard system. The park was named for Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist famed for his five-volume work, "Cosmos: Draft of a Physical Description of The World". Numerous large greystone homes line the park today. The neighborhood has seen tremendous benefits from the gentrification of the areas near the city’s center. People who are tired of the soaring prices of city real estate are taking up residence in its much more affordable homes and buildings. As a result, new construction in well underway, along with many large Victorian and Colonial houses that are being refurbished.
