It is always good to be surrounded by smart people. It is a pleasure to work with him. He is always on time and he always picks up the phone when you call him.”

” Art with Three Pentacles is easily one of the most knowledgeable property managers in Chicagoland. When I was looking for a new management company, I called a good 10 places. during the time I had a tenant I was in the middle of evicting. Without pitching me, Art asked thoughtful questions to learn more about the situation. He clearly has immense knowledge of the eviction process and housing court system. After our call, I engaged his services and he’s been prompt and supportive ever since. He has been navigating my difficult tenant situation with grace, using strategies that never crossed my mind. I feel secure knowing Art has my best interests forward, and is clearly able to manage my property within state and county compliance. He’s worth every penny, and if you’re looking for a property manager, he’s your guy.”

Jeff F.

“The owner of Three Pentacles is an outstanding property manager across the board. He has the technical understanding and experience with repairs to hire out for routine and major work in a methodical and cost-effective way, and he will go above and beyond to address emergency situations like the flooding of a basement apartment. By doing so, he not only serves the best interests of property owners but their tenants as well. Most impressive of all, he is extremely knowledgeable about everything related to leasing apartments, from obtaining a through background check of prospective tenants, to making sure leases comply with any local regulations, and taking the proper steps to evict a tenant when necessary. I would highly recommend Three Pentacles.”

About Norridge

Norridge, Illinois is a compact and highly convenient suburb located in Cook County, immediately adjacent to the northwest side of Chicago. Known for its central location, quiet residential streets, strong sense of community, and accessibility to city amenities, Norridge offers residents a uniquely suburban lifestyle while remaining just minutes from downtown Chicago. With a population of approximately 15,000 residents, the village is particularly appealing to those seeking a stable, walkable, and well maintained community.

The history of Norridge dates back to the early twentieth century when the area, originally part of Norwood Park Township, developed as a residential enclave for families seeking a quieter alternative to the city. Norridge was officially incorporated in 1948 to manage local governance and protect the community from being annexed by Chicago. The village’s growth was largely residential, supported by post World War II housing demand, and it has maintained its small town character despite being surrounded by the city.

Norridge covers approximately 1.5 square miles, making it one of the smaller suburbs in Cook County. Despite its size, the village features a well planned mix of single family homes, duplexes, townhouses, and small apartment buildings. Architectural styles include classic bungalows, brick ranches, and mid century suburban homes. The streets are tree lined and well maintained, with sidewalks and small parks creating a pedestrian friendly environment that contributes to the village’s sense of community.

Education in Norridge is served by several highly regarded school districts, including Norridge Elementary School District 80 for primary education. High school students typically attend Maine Township High School District 207, which includes schools recognized for academic performance, extracurricular opportunities, and college preparation. Nearby private and parochial schools provide additional options for families seeking specialized programs or faith based education.

Norridge has a compact but vibrant local economy. The village is home to the Harlem Irving Plaza, a major retail center that anchors local shopping, dining, and service needs. In addition, small businesses, professional offices, and service providers support the community’s economic base. While primarily residential, Norridge’s strategic location adjacent to Chicago offers residents quick access to employment opportunities in the city and surrounding suburbs.

Recreation and outdoor amenities in Norridge are tailored to its smaller size but are well utilized by the community. The Norridge Park District maintains several parks, playgrounds, sports fields, and recreational facilities. Residents can participate in youth sports leagues, fitness programs, and seasonal community events. Proximity to larger forest preserves, bike trails, and recreational areas in neighboring communities enhances access to outdoor activities and green space.

Cultural and civic life in Norridge reflects a tight knit and engaged community. Residents participate in local events, volunteer programs, and neighborhood associations that foster a sense of belonging. The village government emphasizes public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and quality municipal services, ensuring that Norridge remains a safe, attractive, and well managed community. Local traditions and community events help maintain the village’s identity as a welcoming suburban enclave.

Transportation access is a key advantage for Norridge residents. The village is served by major roadways including Irving Park Road, Harlem Avenue, and Higgins Road, allowing efficient travel throughout Cook County and into downtown Chicago. Public transportation options include bus services connecting to nearby Metra stations, providing commuter access for city workers. O’Hare International Airport is also nearby, offering convenient travel options for both business and leisure.

Demographically, Norridge is a stable and predominantly residential community composed of families, professionals, and retirees. Median household income is around the national average, and housing is largely owner occupied, contributing to neighborhood stability and community cohesion. The population is diverse and community oriented, reflecting the inclusive suburban character of the village.

For prospective residents, Norridge offers a blend of suburban convenience, community engagement, strong local services, and close proximity to Chicago. Its manageable size, well maintained neighborhoods, and central location make it an attractive choice for families, professionals, and retirees who value accessibility without sacrificing a quiet residential environment. With its strong civic pride, convenient amenities, and welcoming atmosphere, Norridge remains one of Cook County’s most desirable small suburbs.
