Albany Park Situated on the Northwest Side of Chicago, Albany Park is not just another community area, but actually one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the entire United States! Although there was significant population decline post-WWII, new immigrant groups began moving in during the 1970s and even more inhabitants added to the overall personality of the area in the 1990s. With over forty distinct languages spoken in public schools alone, residents have ample opportunity to interact with a variety of subcultures and try their delicious cuisines as well. Home to two universities, unique local shops, and even community gardens, Albany Park is a wonderful place to call home. Love to spend time outdoors? Relax at one of many neighborhood parks or woods nearby. Prefer to get out? Hope on the CTAs Brown or Blue lines to head downtown. CTA buses are also readily available, as is access to the Edens Expressway.
