It would be a challenge to find a spot on the North side that wasn't near a Dunkin Donuts. That being said, I think this is a reasonable thing to look for if you aren't sure. I personally don't go to DD, but if you enjoy going there on a regular basis, it can improve your quality of day-to-day life. I've had the same thought regarding living near a Borders/Barnes & Noble.

To the OP and anyone else interested in the North Side of Chicago: I don't think you can go wrong anyplace near the lake between Downtown and Irving Park Rd. It's all beautiful; plenty of grocery stores and Dunkin Donuts'.
