River North Chicago Unveiled
River North as expected of any bustling metropolis, downtown Chicago boasts some of the most high profile residences, most well-renowned restaurants, and most sought-after nighttime spots in the world. Young urban professionals cannot wait to buy homes, and on-the-go retirees cannot wait to downsize their lifestyles and relocate to “Chi-town.” But which neighborhood to choose for the lively dweller in search for perhaps a luxury mid-rise complex or a towering skyscraper complete with a concierge service? Showcasing downtown living at its finest, the Chicago River North neighborhood will surely not disappoint either generation.
River North Chicago History
Given the expansion of the Chicago railroad system in the 1800s, this Near North Side area experienced a significant amount of activity and became quite the bustling industry hot spot. Deemed the "Smokey Hollow", the area suffered from intense industrial pollution. As time progressed, however, the north bank of the Chicago River continued to grow and became home to a community of many Irish and Sicilian immigrants.
The once highly industrialized area then underwent quite a transformation as the years passed. With the events of World War II having a major impact on all cities, particularly the River North area of Chicago, the manufacturing industry experienced a slump which led to the demise of many factories. What lined the streets of the once booming industrial downtown neighborhood were vacant warehouses, and alas, the warehouse district was born and then quickly disappeared. By the 1970s, the demand for warehouses decreased, and the abundance of storehouses closed. What became of the ever-changing neighborhood was a bunch of vacant buildings which were no longer serving any purpose.
Things suddenly began to look up as the the abandoned buildings sparked the interests of writers, artists, and real estate developers. Empty spaces were converted into charming lofts and gallery showrooms. The area was alive again.
