Parkridge has a bit of everything you’d want in an urban neighborhood: five minute drive from downtown, diverse neighbors, sidewalks galore, easy highway access, you name it. One of its most charming features is the high concentration of straight-out-of-a-storybook Barber Houses. (In fact, Parkridge is the home of the largest collection of Barber homes in the world.) If you want to live in a colorful gingerbread house, this neighborhood is for you. Speaking of colors – if you ever get lost, the tunnel on 6th Avenue has four murals featuring directions to the four closest neighborhoods, including Parkridge!
