Uptown Homes for Rent

Uptown in North Chicago is a neighborhood undergoing significant housing improvements, with efforts focused on renovating older homes and maintaining property standards. The area features a mix of bungalows, Cape Cod-style homes, and duplexes, with many properties dating back to the early 1900s. The median single-family house price is $192,500, slightly below the city's average. Uptown is influenced by a substantial Latino presence, evident in the local dining and shopping options along the 10th Street corridor, including Teresita Restaurant and Latino supermarkets like La Unica Supermercado. The neighborhood is a few miles north of Naval Station Great Lakes, the Navy’s largest training station, which contributes to the local population. Public transportation is accessible via the Pace bus system, with routes on Sheridan Road and other main streets, and the North Chicago Metra station is a mile south, providing access to downtown Chicago 40 miles away. Interstate 94 is 5 miles from Uptown, leading to O’Hare International Airport, 30 miles away. Outdoor recreation includes Citizens Park and Twin City Park, which offer playgrounds, a skate park, and a walking path. The Robert McClory Bike Path runs along the western edge of the neighborhood. While the local schools have average ratings, the Neal Math and Science Academy focuses on STEM education. The Boys & Girls Club of Lake County provides additional academic support and mentoring for younger residents.
