Neighborhood Description

Located only eight miles northwest of the Loop, Portage Park is a quiet residential neighborhood with a rich history, a thriving shopping district, and plenty of green space.

The neighborhood of Portage Park is a primarily residential area. The area's building stock is composed primarily of bungalows and two-flats. There are two large business districts in Portage Park, the first is Six Corners at the intersection of Irving, Cicero and Milwaukee and the second is at Belmont and Central extending south into Belmont-Cragin.

The area was home to a number of movie palaces, among which were the Portage, Patio, and Belpark theaters. While the last two are now closed, the Portage Theater has been magnificently renovated and is now home to a full-fledged performing arts center showing a wide variety of arthouse and silent films.

Portage Park is also home to a cluster of architecturally significant churches, and is one of the few neighborhoods on the city's North Side highlighted in Marilyn Chiat's The Spiritual Traveler: Chicago and Illinois. The spires and steeples of these monumental edifices such as St. Pascal's, St. Ladislaus, St. John of Rila the Wonderworker, St. Bartholomew, St. Ferdinand and Our Lady of Victory tower over the neighborhood, giving the area much of its charm.
