North Center, Residential community area in Chicago, United States

North Center extends from Montrose Avenue to Diversey Parkway, with the Chicago River and Ravenswood Avenue forming its western and eastern boundaries.

German, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Serbian, Greek, Croatian, and French immigrants established their homes in North Center during the late nineteenth century.

The neighborhood maintains several theaters, including Bughouse Theater and Strawdog Theatre Company, which present performances throughout the year.

The Brown Line serves North Center with stations at Addison, Irving Park, and Montrose, providing direct access to downtown Chicago in 30 minutes.

The former site of Riverview Park, which operated as the largest amusement park globally from 1904 to 1967, occupied space within the North Center boundaries.
