Originally, this Northwest neighborhood was home to many of the famous mobsters of Chicago. Today, the solid middle-class neighborhood is more similar to a quiet suburb. Speedbumps and round-abouts slow down traffic in neighborhoods and near the many schools. Mars Candy and Radio Flyer are two well-known companies with their headquarters in Monteclare. Homes are larger here than in other parts of the city. But many residents fall in love with this area and plan to stay, meaning there are few homes for sale at any given time. There is a good variety of housing: apartments, Victorians, English Tudors, Georgians, frame and brick constructs, bungalows and ranch-style homes.
