Portage Park Named after a major port that once connected the Des Plaines and Chicago rivers, Portage Park still offers a variety of connections thanks to its simultaneously urban and suburban characteristics. Once a rural area, it attracted many immigrant groups and industrialized rapidly. These residents quickly built nearly identical houses, causing their community area to be known as the “bungalow belt.” Now a primarily residential area, Portage Park has many parks, dining establishments, and local businesses. Performing arts lovers are lucky as they can visit three separate theaters in their free time. Bookworms also has three library branches to choose from and food enthusiasts can not only eat at some great restaurants but can also buy fresh groceries at the farmers market, butcher shop, and local fishmongers! Need some rest and relaxation? Be sure to book a session at Chicago Sweatlodge and give yourself an hour or two to pamper yourself. Good public transportation availability and access to the Kennedy Expressway also make it easy to get into the city center or visit neighboring suburbs.
