"gorgeous residential street"

West Seminole Street is another short street near Forest Glen that has a lot of new homes under construction. These homes are fairly large and upscale, but not the cookie cutter look alike houses you see in man new neighborhoods. This will be a really great area once finished, near a large park and wooded area, but close to the freeway and public transportation. This would be a nice neighborhood for families with children.

"small street in park"

Indian Road Woods is just a small street that leads into Indian Road Woods Preserve and park. This is a large wooded area good for hiking and exploring. It has a very quiet and isolated feel to it, despite being close to downtown Chicago. I would check this park out if you live in the area, it is very peaceful and undeveloped.

"pretty tree lined street"

North Indian Road is a very pretty, tree lined street that runs right by the Indian Road Woods, and a nearby golf course. There is a very large wooded area and parks complex in this area, which makes it great for walking and biking. This is a quiet, peaceful street, you would never know you were close to such a large city. This would be a great place to live.

"ok area, commercial and residential"

This street is kind of an odd mix of commercial and residential. There are both houses and apartments on this street. It is a fairly nice and safe area, but not as nice as the surrounding streets in the neighborhood. It is convenient to N Elston and N Central, both major thoroughfares with public transportation.

"cute neighborhood, nice parks"

West Ardmore Avenue runs through a nice area of North Central Chicago. It is not a bad commute to downtown, and not too far from the airport, but has a quiet, neighborly feel to it. There are several nice parks nearby for walking and to take kids to play. I really liked this neighborhood, there are lots of older mid-sized homes with a lot of character, and large mature trees. A great place to raise kids.

"near park, good middle class area"

West Rosedale Avenue features many small homes, but is a very nice neighborhood. Edgebrood Gold Course and Indian Road Park are nearby. It feels removed from the city, but is conveniently located to public transportation and the interstate highways. This is a quiet, safe neighborhood.

"nice middle class residential street"

North Linder Avenue is another nice, middle to upper middle class street in a quiet residential area. A large park and golf course is nearby for recreation. It is conveniently located to both I 90 and I 94, and many bus and train stops on nearby North Central Ave. This would be a great place to live in.

"Pretty residential street"

North Luna Avenue is a pretty but short residential street near a large park. It is pretty quiet but still close to major thoroughfares and downtown Chicago. The homes are not huge, but are nice and expensive because of the location. This is a nice neighborhood to walk or bike in.

"beautiful oasis in Chicago"

North Las Casas Ave runs through part of the Forest Glen Nature Preserve. It is a beautiful and peaceful oasis near downtown Chicago. You would never know you were so close to the city. This is a great residential street, with cute upscale homes, not cookie cutter McMansions. This neighborhood has great character, is close to large parks for walking, and convenient to I 94. Overall a great place to live or visit.
