Portage Park feels like a small city inside the big one. The park at Irving Park and Central anchors the neighborhood with a pool, a fieldhouse, a gym and ball fields. Six Corners, where Irving Park Road, Cicero and Milwaukee meet, is the main shopping district, with the landmark Portage Theater building at its center. Daily life is quieter than the lakefront neighborhoods, with more driveways and more backyard grills.
Mostly brick bungalows and two-flats, with some frame houses and courtyard buildings. Homes here usually come with a garage and a yard, and prices tend to buy more square footage than they do closer to the lake.
The CTA Blue Line stops at Montrose, on the neighborhood's east edge, and Metra's Milwaukee District North line stops at Mayfair. Buses run on Irving Park, Montrose, Belmont, Central, Cicero and Milwaukee. The Kennedy Expressway is close by, and most errands here are easier with a car.
I'm Megan Sullivan with Compass. Bungalows look alike from the curb and vary wildly inside. I'll help you tell a solid one from a quick flip before you make an offer.
