The community is well-situated on the northwest side of the city in close proximity to the CTA Blue Line at its terminus at Lawrence Avenue and Kedzie, in addition to numerous local CTA bus lines which provide connections to both the Blue Line and the Brown Line for easy access to the Loop and O'Hare airport.

Shopping is an adventure in Albany Park. Lawrence Avenue offers a collection of exotic ethnic stores featuring food, clothing and gift and specialty shops. Kedzie Avenue offers a number of highly acclaimed ethnic restaurants as well as specialty food stores.

North Park College, Gordon Technical High School and Northeastern Illinois University are all located within or adjacent to the Albany Park neighborhood.
