Living in Northwest Side
Stretching from the Kennedy Expressway corridor out toward O’Hare and the western city limits, Chicago’s Northwest Side is the city’s great bungalow country. It is a patchwork of long, tree-lined residential blocks punctuated by busy shopping arteries like Milwaukee Avenue, Irving Park Road, Belmont Avenue and Cicero Avenue. Communities such as Portage Park, Irving Park, Old Irving Park, Dunning, Belmont Cragin, Montclare and Hermosa grew rapidly in the 1910s through the 1950s as streetcar and later bus lines pushed outward from the city center. Many residents are city workers, and the area has long been home to Polish, Italian, German and, more recently, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Eastern European families. Daily life revolves around neighborhood parks with fieldhouses, parish churches, corner bakeries and shopping districts like Six Corners. The Blue Line and Metra’s Milwaukee District North and Union Pacific Northwest lines provide quick trips downtown, while the Kennedy and Edens expressways carry drivers across the region.
- Home to some of the largest concentrations of Chicago bungalows in the city’s Bungalow Belt
- Served by the CTA Blue Line and Metra’s Milwaukee District North and UP Northwest lines
- Six Corners at Irving Park, Cicero and Milwaukee is one of the city’s historic outlying shopping districts
How Northwest Side Homes Shape Appliance Repair
Brick Chicago bungalows dominate much of the Northwest Side, joined by frame cottages, American Foursquares, two-flats and pockets of Victorian homes in Old Irving Park. Farther west, Dunning and Montclare add post-war Georgians, raised ranches and Cape Cods. Most houses have full basements, so washers and dryers typically sit below grade near floor drains and utility sinks, and many families run a second refrigerator or chest freezer downstairs. Kitchens have often been remodeled more than once, which means a mix of newer stainless appliances alongside decades-old gas ranges. Because these homes are owner-occupied for generations, repair rather than replacement is a common instinct here.
