About St Ben's

Named for the area’s church and high school St. Benedict, the neighborhood of St. Ben's is actually a pocket of the larger neighborhood of North Center. Because of the area's beloved schools (such as St. Benedict's), St. Ben's has become a popular neighborhood for families to dwell, but it is also a prime spot for young professionals who want a relaxing place to hang their hats at the end of a long day in the city.

Around St Ben's

CTA bus lines run on the major streets of St. Ben's, Irving Park Road, and Western Avenue, and the neighborhood is accessible by three Brown Line stops at Addison, Irving Park, and Montrose. A number of single-family homes and brick condominium buildings have been updated on the inside, but maintain their beautiful, Victorian-era appearance.

St. Ben's has a very heavy European and Mediterranean influence when it comes to food. The neighborhood's roots show at the old-world style ale houses along its streets, but there is still variety with the American and Asian restaurants that dot this small community.

There is no shortage of tree-lined streets in this neighborhood, not to mention beautiful lawns and yards on many of the properties. Students travel to and from the neighborhood’s schools when they’re in session, so traffic may pick up in the morning and early afternoon. Other than that, St. Ben’s is a fairly quiet neighborhood.

Catch a play at the neighborhood's local theater or rock out to a visiting band at the music venue around the corner. After the show, grab a drink at the local martini lounge or pub. The nearby Globe Pub is a popular place for soccer fans.

In the summer, you'd find no better place to be on a Sunday than any of the area’s street fests and markets. Parks and green spaces along the river also make a fine setting for a relaxing day.
