Escape to nature in the northern Windy City
As a neighborhood with abundant parkland on the north side of Chicago, it’s no wonder how North Park got its name. The community is home to nature lovers who like to live in the city and draws residents with its expansive metropolitan parks like the North Park Village Nature Center. Realtor Debbie Arcabascio of Baird & Warner Edgebrook is a longtime resident of the neighborhood for precisely that reason: “It’s like living in the forest,” she says. “All kinds of wildlife come by my window every day — deer, baby ducks. I’ve seen a baby fawn take its first steps off my balcony.”
The North Park birding community welcomes new and old friends a like to join the yearly walk.

North Park Village Nature Center
“The North Park Village Nature Center is one of the biggest draws to the area,” Arcabascio says. “It’s amazing. It’s a huge nature preserve right in the heart of the city.” She’s a member of the park’s award-winning North Park Village Garden Club and routinely tends to her plants in the community garden. The 46-acre park with birding and hiking trails is only one of several expansive outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. Peterson Park is a 23-acre wooded green space with a state-of-the-art gymnastics center and fieldhouse that hosts social clubs, and the 80-acre LaBagh Woods is a popular spot for picnics and birdwatching amongst its large oaks, hickories and maples.

I do not encounter crime on a normal basis, but I hear of a lot of crime that happens right in the neighborhood or even next door. Drug dealers/gangs are prevalent, there have been a few murders and a lot of gunshots. I see cops often in my neighborhood, especially the North Park and Northeastern University police.
