O’Hare is a unique neighborhood located on the far Northwest edge of Chicago, best known for O’Hare International Airport, one of the world’s busiest travel hubs. While much of the area is commercial or industrial, O’Hare does have a small, quiet residential community with condos, townhomes, and mid-century houses, appealing to those who want close access to the airport or nearby suburbs. It's also a significant business and hospitality center, home to office parks, hotels, and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. With easy highway and transit access, O’Hare offers urban convenience with minimal congestion in its residential pockets.
