Beautiful tree-lined streets, excellent educational and recreational opportunities, and a wide array of housing options make historic Lincoln Park a favorite with young professionals and their families.
A Lasting Impression
North, Division, LaSalle, and Clybourn streets converge to form the Old Town Triangle, the pinnacle of sophisticated urban living. A restorer’s paradise, this landmark neighborhood contains some of Chicago’s most impressive homes — greystones, brick townhomes, row and coach houses — many dating back to the early 1800s. Old Town’s appeal extends toward modern tastes with upscale boutiques, excellent restaurants, and renowned cultural fixtures like the Second City Comedy Club and the Old Town School of Folk Music and Art. |

Industrial Appeal
If restoration defines the Old Town Triangle, then conversion is the word for the Clybourn Corridor/Ranch Triangle. The factories and warehouses that once dominated the area have been transformed into some of Chicago’s best loft residences. An eclectic selection includes rehabbed condos and townhouses as well as renovated schools and church buildings. Shopping combines the best of urban and suburban living. Major retailers and groceries, specialty stores, and trendy boutiques are easily accessible by foot or car. |
21st-century Victorian Living
The Sheffield Neighborhood’s turn-of-the-century charm gave birth to one of the North Side’s favorite events, the Sheffield Garden Walk. Another Chicago landmark district, the area includes the McCormick Row Houses, the Armitage-Halsted commercial district, and the Fremont Row Houses. This picturesque blend of quiet streets surrounds DePaul University and offers a range of housing choices, from restored greystones and Victorian row houses to newer townhomes and multiple-unit condos. |

Up and Coming
As befits the young professionals who settle here, the Wrightwood Neighborhood offers a mix of new development that maintains the integrity of an urban residential community. Rehabbed houses feature state-of-the-art interiors while preserving the original character outside. Newer construction provides options for every budget with single and multiple-unit residences. The Wrightwood Neighbors Association hosts one of Chicago’s largest neighborhood festivals, the Taste of Lincoln Park, to support its mission “to maintain a vibrant urban community where people live, shop, play, and send their children to school.” |
Life in the Park
Lincoln Park gets its name from the hundreds of acres of parkland that lines its eastern edge. This world-class city park is the foundation of a Chicago neighborhood that offers countless opportunities for residents to experience life at its fullest. Visit the Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory,
Chicago Historical Society or the Chicago Park District beaches, sporting fields, and marinas.
