Chicago - Buena Park

Buena Park is a small residential nook - with its own identity and history - located within the larger neighborhood of Uptown. Leafy streets are lined with turn-of-the-century Georgian and Prairie School mansions and single-family homes on spacious lots. The neighborhood also is home to several large, vintage apartment buildings, high-rise condos, and townhomes.
