What to do in Portage Park
For most, Portage Park offers the right mix of affordability, convenience and familiarity. It is a tidy, stable neighborhood with less trendy restaurants and shops than others. However, most residents are proud owners of single-family homes.
Its highly accessible location, with Belmont, Montrose, Cicero and Milwaukee avenues, makes it ideal for those who commute downtown or out to the suburbs.
Known for Six Corners, a strip of storefronts at the 6-corner intersection created by Irving Park Road and Cicero and Milwaukee Avenues, Portage Park has a shopping district that is undergoing renovations and a thriving residential community to support it.
The actual park in Portage Park is found at Irving Park Road and Central Avenue. The park is a one-square-mile stretch of grass and trees with a grand, old-fashioned field house and Olympic-size swimming pool. The park provides many social and recreational opportunities for the community.
Portage Park's Distinctive Housing
