Overview
River North is a neighborhood located in the Near North Side of Chicago, bordering the Northern bank of the Chicago River. A former industrial area, the neighborhood became the artistic hub of Chicago, hosting the largest concentration of art galleries in the United States (outside the Manhattan area). Starting in 1990, the area became increasingly gentrified and experienced a real estate boom and a subsequent increase in highrise development projects. The area is home to many high-rise buildings, some of which are the most famed in Chicago (like Marina City, and the Wrigley Building). The neighborhood is also the location of the Chicago Sun Times Headquarters. Neighboring districts includes the Old Town in the North, Streeterville in the East, and the Loop in the South.
