Buena park
A neighborhood within Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, Buena Park is a hidden gem by the lake. It is a classic Chicago neighborhood that is architecturally significant and culturally diverse, yet not as densely populated as other neighborhoods – there is breathing room here. While the neighborhood itself may lack in size, it definitely does not lack in charm and history.
Parking / cta
Despite being 6.6 miles from downtown, the commute to the city center is quick and convenient. Buena Park is well served by the CTA with two train stations at either end of the neighborhood – Sheridan (Red line) at the south-west end, and Wilson (Red and Purple lines) at the north-west end – both of which connect to downtown and can have you there in under 20 minutes.
Buses are also plentiful with several routes running through the neighborhood to get you downtown and to neighborhoods north and west of Buena Park. For shorter trips, the Sheridan, Broadway, Irving Park, Montrose, and Clark buses connect to the rest of the city.
If you commute by car, there are entry points to Lake Shore Drive at both Montrose Avenue and at Irving Park Road, and for cyclists, you’re steps from the Lakefront Trail which is accessible from Montrose and Marine and Buena and Marine.
