About Old Irving Park

This tranquil neighborhood on Chicago's northwest side boasts large vintage homes on oversized lots and convenient access to the city's downtown Loop and O'Hare International Airport by bus, train, or expressway. Old Irving Park is a small section of Irving Park proper where landmark architecture meets modern construction. Buildings erected in the late 1800s still grace the tree-lined streets that are also budding with contemporary townhomes and new condominiums. Despite its charming old-school character, Old Irving Park is an active commercial center. The neighborhood's Six Corners Plaza is a retail hub where residents find big box stores such as Office Depot and Sears. Independent specialty shops are also on hand and a dining backdrop that includes all the local favorites (stuffed pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs).
