Live

Who says you have to leave at night? River North happens to be the marquee apartment district in Chicago.

It used to be that finding a place to live was as difficult as scoring a reservation at Next Restaurant. Good thing, the River never rests. 5,000 condos and rental apartments are planned for the next two years alone. Whether it’s the Valerio Dewalt Train-designed EnV with its rooftop pool and leopard-print shags, or the environmental chic of the Parc Huron, living in River North proves that the day doesn’t end at 6. Plus, it’s a 100 year old neighborhood of parks, waterways and quiet spaces to help you decompress.

And if you need a little continuing ed or a positive environment for the kids, the illustrious list of celebrated schools in the area includes Walter Payton College Prep; Ogden International School of Chicago – East Campus (primary school); and the Latin School of Chicago, as well as major satellites for Northwestern, Loyola, Kendall and the University of Chicago.

AMLI 2Designed for the echo boom and the eco crowd, AMLI River North’s LEED Gold designation is complete with an electric car charging station and a recycling center. AMLI features a 22,000-square-foot rooftop deck with a heated pool, private cabanas, a firepit, lounge areas, a bar and grilling stations and even an outdoor movie theater. Other amenities include a private dining/library room, a golf simulator and a coffee bar.
