    <description> <![CDATA[ 

 




River North is where you'll find some of Chicago's tallest, most impressive condo buildings and towers. And while desirable living spaces and premium individual unit interior finishes are of vital importance, sometimes the real value lies in the on-site amenities and services featured inside each building. From high-end concierge services to rooftop pools, River North is packed with condo residences that promise a luxurious lifestyle, especially at these highly sought-after buildings. Trump Tower Chicago 401 N. WabashTrump Tower Chicago is widely regarded as one of the city's finest condo towers thanks in large part to a premium location directly on the Chicago River. There are 92 stories in total, comprising a split of 486 condominium residences and 339 hotel rooms. On-site, dwellers have the pleasure of accessing the world-class amenities that are included in their Trump Tower Chicago experience, such as The Spa at Trump, a 75-foot heated swimming pool, indoor parking, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. All of these features add up to make this one of the most sought-after places to live in Chicago.One Chicago 14 W.

Additionally, living at One Chicago also comes with a complimentary membership to Life Time Athletic Club and Spa. Need to go grocery shopping? Whole Foods is right downstairs.

        <title>The Best Places in Chicago's River North To Take Your Dog</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 






In case you haven’t noticed, Chicago is an intensely dog-friendly city. Many of the city’s top condo and apartment buildings allow pets, and most new residential towers that have recently been developed or coming through the pipeline even include dog-friendly amenities like a dog-run or dog-washing station somewhere inside the building. But just in case you like to get outside and keep your dog active, here’s a closer look at some of the best places to take the four-legged member of your family in Chicago’s vibrant and lively River North neighborhood.  


A. Montgomery Ward ParkWhile A. Montgomery Ward Park might not be Chicago’s largest park, it remains one of our favorites. Positioned right alongside the North Branch of the Chicago River, Ward Park encompasses just 3.1 acres, which includes a small dog-friendly area, a playground, and plenty of grass for a hillside picnic with spectacular views of the Chicago cityscape. You’ll find A. Montgomery Ward Park at Erie and Kingsbury Streets, which is walkable from several of the neighborhood's premier condo towers and loft conversions, like the aptly named Montgomery, located just up the street. 


Kingsbury Street Although this might seem rather broad, North Kingsbury Street is one of our favorite roads to walk along when walking your dog. It’s a smaller street that doesn’t get a super high-volume of traffic, and its close proximity to the river also makes it feel slightly less dense than other parts of the neighborhood as well. Plus, Kingsbury Street is also far enough away from all the lively nightlife, shopping, and dining River North is know for, which is what any dog walker wants, especially during the evening hours. And, as mentioned above, Ward Park is also located at Erie and Kingsbury, which is a great spot for you and the dog to take a rest and enjoy the awesome city scenery the park provides. 





Ohio Place Dog Park If you look at it on a map, you might be inclined to pass on visiting the Ohio Place Dog Park in River North thanks to a location that is seemingly right next to an on-ramp. But thanks to fairly mature trees, a rather large wall, benches, and plenty of space for your dog to stretch his legs, the Ohio Place Dog Park is a surprisingly pleasant spot to hit whenever you’re out for a walk with Fido. For added convenient, there’s almost always doggy waste bags there, as well as a water fountain for both you and your pet. 


The Chicago Riverwalk You can’t talk about the best places to bring your dog in River North without mentioning the riverwalk. While the primary stretch of the riverwalk is on the other side of the river in the Loop, there are also some pretty good walkaways to enjoy on the River Northside as well. The development all around Wolf Point has also created some new green areas for residents to enjoy as well, and we especially like the walkway just below Trump Tower and the surrounding area.
