North Oriole Ave, Norwood Park

This street is one of those places that manages to mix the old with the new while keeping a really great "old world quality". It is fairly quiet and probably not the area for someone who is looking to really live it up, but it's a great mix between living in a city and living in the suburbs. It is a bit of both worlds. Singles would likely be bored and annoyed by the area because it isn't particularly "happening", but couples or families looking for a mix of convenience and quiet will likely find the area to be rather suitable.

Quiet and Pretty. Oriole north of about Grand-Attractive housing, a lot of somewhat alike-looking housing that was built in the 40s and 50s, but very pretty bungalows, great for families. People have lived here, some of them, all their lives. It is on the border of Elmwood Park and in some places goes through it, and Elmwood Park is another very attractive Western suburb of Chicago. Oriole is mostly residential and has little business traffic, so it is quiet. It goes pretty far north but pretty much retains its general character even when it intersects streets like Belmont, Irving, Montrose, etc. A really great place to live.
