The Chicago neighborhood of United Center
Park is undergoing very rapid developement. This construction
boom is headed by the second phase of the Henry Horner development
project, adding 765 new units to the 200 already constructed, along side
dozens of other smaller developments.
The neighborhood is close to the city, Loop,
expressways, but still extremely affordable. Sometimes referred to as Chicago's Near West Side, and considered by many to be
the western edge of the West Loop, United Center Park is host to the
neighborhood's livelihood, the United Center (1901 W.
Madison), home to the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and the
NBA's Chicago Bulls. A $175 million structure, the United Center opened in 1994 and, in addition to
professional sports, it is also a center for concerts in Chicago. United Center Park is located
just west of Ashland Avenue and east of Garfield Park at Western. Expect a
lively crowd in the surrounding nightlife, especially on game nights.
I-290 runs through the neighborhood, and the El Green and Blue Lines
run at its northern and southern edges, respectively, making this area
eminently accessible from any other point in the city by car, bus, train
or subway.
