The Loop

The heart of Chicago's downtown area, the Loop is quickly becoming a popular Chicago residential neighborhood. An ideal neighborhood for those who work in the Loop's offices or financial district, the Loop boasts some of Chicago's most exciting attractions. Loop residents enjoy attending shows at the famous House of Blues, along with visiting the Art Institute of Chicago and shopping on Michigan Avenue. Residents can also visit the wide range of restaurants, shops, and bookstores that line the streets of the neighborhood. As residents or visitors can easily walk to these destinations, a car is not necessary for residents of the Loop. The public transportation the neighborhood offers is unparalleled, as five train lines, several buses, and the Metra all run through the Loop, providing transportation throughout Chicago and to the suburbs. The neighborhood is easily the most accessible neighborhood in Chicago. The Loop boasts loft rentals and high-rise apartment condominiums with fantastic skyline views.

South Loop / Printer's Row

Columbia College and the School of the Art Institute bring many young artists and students to the South Loop. Chicago's Museum Campus is the cultural anchor of the neighborhood and attracts an abundance of tourists and culture-seekers to see the world famous Field Museum & Shedd Aquarium almost every day of the year.

Transportation in the South Loop is a snap, with access to Metra, the El's Blue, Red, Green and Orange Lines, and CTA busses on many major streets. The South Loop also has I-90 on its western edge and I-41 along the lake shore.

West Loop

Extending from Halsted to Ashland, and Van Buren to Lake St, the West Loop has exploded in the last 10 years. Given its close proximity to the loop it seemed like an ideal place for residents who want to be able to walk to work. The area was, and still is, home to Chicago's meat and fish markets along Lake St., supplying the best restaurants in town. The area was littered with abandoned factories that developers purchased and converted into lofts and condos to feed the exploding real estate market.

The very same abandoned factories that scarred this neighborhood in the past are now home to young urban professionals seeking an up and coming trendy area. The restaurants along Randolph are among the best in the city. Springing up elsewhere to satisfy the influx of people are coffee shops, abundant retail, gyms, banks, art galleries and nightclubs.
