Living in Oriole Park

NAMESAKE PARK •  QUIET STREETS • FAMILY-FRIENDLY

 

Summer days filled with opportunities for outdoor recreation at Oriole Park keep the youth of the community busy and active. For the adults, while there are dining and shopping places to explore in the greater Norwood Park neighborhood, Oriole Park is primarily residential and the quiet blocks that form this northwest side community are adorned with single-family homes.

 

Where is Oriole Park?

 

Oriole Park encompasses the southwestern part of the Norwood Park community and is in close proximity to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, which is just west of the neighborhood. Its boundaries include the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) to the north, Harlem Ave to the east, N Canfield Ave to the west and Foster Ave to the south, with a small sliver of a few blocks that extend further south to Argyle St.

 

The area includes the zipcodes of 60631 and 60656 and forms a great portion of the 41st Ward.

 

Oriole Park Transportation

 

Accessing Oriole Park via public transit is possible via the CTA blue line train at Harlem Ave and the bus routes of #88 Higgins, #90 Harlem, and #92 Foster. Oriole Park residents who rely on the commuter rail, are closest to the Norwood Park Metra station. 

 

Forming its northern border, the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) makes getting to and from Oriole Park by car quick and easy, and is a straight shot to O’Hare International Airport to the west and downtown Chicago to the east.

Talk with a Oriole Park real estate agent to schedule a house or condo showing in Oriole Park and then go on to get more acquainted with the neighborhood. Here’s a quick self-guided tour of Oriole Park. 

 

Get a feel for the neighborhood buzz at Cozy Corner Restaurant & Pancake House (5454 N Harlem Ave), one of three locations in the city. This breakfast restaurant is a popular morning spot, so there may be a slight wait. Get active by walking through and around Oriole Park (5430 N Olcott Ave). Pop into Nottoli Italian Foods (5025 N Harlem Ave)  just off of Harlem Ave and south of Foster Ave for a delightful deli sandwich like prosciutto and provolone, or signature hot subs like the spicy sicilian or Italian sandwiches. You can also shop the deli for some meats and cheeses to take home. While you may have to travel a little outside of Oriole Park, you can enjoy dinner at Sapori Napoletana Pizza e Ristorante (6050 N Northwest Hwy) for some pasta and Neapolitan individual, pizzas prepared in a wood burning oven.
