Near North Side offers residents a lively blend of historic architecture, world-class dining, parks and lakefront access, vibrant cultural venues, and convenient transit, all within a compact, walkable urban setting.
Near North Side sits just north of downtown Chicago, offering some of the city’s most walkable streets, extensive transit access, and a mix of historic and contemporary housing. High rises along the lakefront, classic brownstones in Gold Coast, and lofts closer to River North give buyers and renters a broad range of choices, all within minutes of the Loop and the CTA rail network.
Everyday life here is defined by convenience. Residents can stroll the lakefront at Ohio Street Beach, shop along Magnificent Mile, or visit Oak Street Beach for an after-work break. Dining and nightlife hub River North places acclaimed restaurants and galleries within easy reach, while the Near North Branch Library and neighborhood parks support a more low-key daily rhythm. Families look to options like Ogden International School and nearby cultural institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
Commuters appreciate straightforward access to downtown, West Loop, and the Near West Side, with Metra service from nearby Ogilvie Transportation Center and quick links to Lincoln Park and Lakeview.

“I had an outstanding experience working with Cinny Chui. What truly set her apart was her genuine care and consistent follow-up throughout the entire process. She didn't just treat me as a transaction; she took the time to understand my needs and was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. Her proactive communication meant I was never left wondering about the next step. Whether it was coordinating viewings, negotiating details, or handling paperwork, she was on top of everything and kept me regularly updated. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and supportive. I felt looked after from start to finish, and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I highly recommend Cinny Chui to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring professional.”

“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”

“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
