Which of the following streets would likely be found at 1600 N?

  1. Pearson

  2. North Avenue

  3. Walton

  4. Fullerton

The correct answer is: North Avenue

The street designated as 1600 N refers to its position within the grid system of Chicago. Streets numbered in this manner typically follow a north-south orientation, with 1600 N indicating a location that is 16 blocks north of the central point located at State and Madison streets, which is considered 0 N/S. North Avenue is a well-known street that runs east-west and is located at approximately 1600 N within the city’s grid layout. This makes it the correct choice for the address specified. In contrast, Pearson and Walton streets are generally located south of North Avenue, making them lower than 1600 N. Fullerton Avenue, while further north than those streets, does not hold the location of 1600 N either, as it typically falls around 2400 N. The alignment of these streets confirms that North Avenue is indeed the one that corresponds to the numerical address of 1600 N.
