a map of North Center
Originally, North Center was setteled by Germans who worked in the industiral corridor. Commercial activity includes retailers, restaurants, and service-oriented businesses. The small-town feel of the area makes it an enjoyable place for generations of residents. (Roscoe Village) Within the North Center area lies the more serene Roscoe Village. Working couples and new families are all drawn to this area because of its tree-lined streets, independent stores, affordable housing, close proximity to downtown and the lakefront, and accessibility to public transportation. Above all, it is less crowded than Lincoln Park and Lakeview, giving it a small-town feel. Homes have undergone recent redevelopment and most are post World War II bungalows or two-family flats, but the area is seeing more retail and condominium renovations. Attractions include Antique Row, which is the largest concentration of antique stores in the midwest.
