| Cloud Gate "The Bean", Chicago |
A respected fixture in Chicago’s residential retail scene, Seminary Properties and Management, Ltd. provides housing in several parts of the city’s north side. Some of Seminary Properties and Management’s popular rentals are found in the Albany Park neighborhood.
Located along Lawrence Avenue west of the North Branch of the Chicago River, Albany Park is known for affordable housing and ease of public transportation. Many of the current residents immigrated from Latin America and Asia beginning in the 1970s.
Although much of the city remains voluntarily divided, Albany Park is an exception. One reason is the presence of businesses from many cultures, often run by successive generations of the same families. Its variety of ethnic restaurants also sometimes attract diners from other states.
The city has just begun construction of a new elevated path that will span Albany Park and three other areas. Covering some 1,000 feet, 312 RiverRun will allow cyclists, walkers, and runners to travel safely above street traffic. Its route is longer than any other city pedestrian bridge, and will be lit and protected for year-round enjoyment.
