At the groundbreaking event, attendees got a first look at the interior and exterior of The Saint Grand, which will include 248 luxury apartments, 45,000 square feet of office space, and 7,500 square feet of street-level retail on the northeast corner. This new Streeterville development is within walking distance to Lake Michigan, as well as plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment offerings along Michigan Avenue.

Chicago Deputy Mayor of Neighborhood and Economic Development, Samir Mayekar, stated that “This will be the first multifamily property to deliver in Streeterville since the pandemic. The future is bright to invest in Chicago and to invest in this neighborhood.”

About The Saint Grand

The Saint Grand will offer a variety of residential options, from studios to two-bedrooms, with an emphasis on in-unit workspaces and private outdoor space to accommodate post-pandemic preferences. The development also features luxury amenities, including an innovative package receiving service, a modern coworking lounge, fitness center, and an outdoor pool and deck.

In addition to its residential offering, The Saint Grand features two floors of Class-A office space located at the top of the development. This office space will be fully equipped to provide companies with a modern and integrated work environment, including the latest post-pandemic health and safety elements. Office tenants will also have access to all building amenities as an added benefit.

5 Best West Loop Coffee Shops To Try

January 10, 2023 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Whether you’re a West Loop native or are new to the area entirely, there’s always a new spot in the neighborhood to try. From restaurants to bars to workout spots, the West Loop is constantly attracting new, trendy businesses for locals and visitors alike. There’s no more important new (or established!) business, perhaps, than your local coffee shop.

5 Must Try West Loop Coffee Shops

In a neighborhood known for food, there’s always a new caffeination station to explore. From cozy hole-in-the-walls to trendy new spots, the range of coffee options is as unique as the neighborhood itself.

Some of our favorites in West Loop include:

  1. Fairgrounds Coffee and Tea: Featuring both fantastic, inventive drinks and a full breakfast menu inside trendy digs, Fairgrounds is a great option to meet a friend for a bite.
  2. Vietfive: As the new kid on the block in West Loop, Vietfive has its fair share of virality on social media for its cool space and unique drinks, like the Iced Ube Latte, which is a gorgeous shade of purple.
  3. Morgan Street Cafe: Morgan Street is a humble coffee and breakfast spot right off Mary Bartelme park that serves both breakfast and lunch, as well as a pretty expansive coffee menu. This is a great go-to for a quick breakfast or a hangover cure.
  4. Ground Up: There’s nothing better than a coffee shop that also roasts their own coffee – and with an expansive, beautiful space and in-house roasting, Ground Up has the best of both worlds. If you need to impress an out-of-town friend or serious coffee drinker, Ground Up is our pick.
  5. FROTH: Could there be anything better than “a cocktail approach to coffee?” We think not. With a serious approach to both coffee cocktails (AKA lattes) and actual cocktails as well as a full kitchen, FROTH is another favorite newcomer to the West Loop coffee scene.

No matter which coffee shop you call your favorite, the West Loop and neighboring Fulton Market always have plenty of caffeine options to offer its residents.

Finding Luxury Apartments in Chicago — The Loop

January 4, 2023 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Chicago is lovingly known as a city of neighborhoods – and each of the 77 has its own perks, personality and presence within the city. The Loop, specifically, might be the most well-known of them all. To out-of-towners, it’s “the area with all the tall buildings and The Bean.” To locals, it’s the geographical epicenter of the city that’s proximate to most offices and the river. 

Whether you’re living in Chicago for the first time or are a local seeking a change of scene, there are plenty of reasons to consider a move to The Loop.

Why move to The Loop?

Generally known as a business district, The Loop might be a surprising choice – but there are some sneaky, great reasons why this neighborhood could be a great choice.

  1. The geography: not only is The Loop proximate to most offices, it’s also the geographical center of the city – making all other areas highly-accessible both via car and public transit, which cross-crosses almost every block of the neighborhood. You’re literally in the center of it all!
  2. The commute: if you’re in the majority of Chicagoans whose office is in the Loop, you’ll be pleased to find that living in this neighborhood offers a delightfully short commute. No matter where you live, you’re most likely just a short walk away from work.
  3. The culture: The Art Institute, Lyric Opera and Chicago Symphony all call The Loop home – making some of Chicago’s best cultural institutions just a stone’s throw away from where you live.
  4. The views: almost every building in The Loop is a high-rise, meaning that no matter where you live, you’re bound to have an incredible, bird’s-eye view. If you’re lucky that might include lake views, too!

Where to live in The Loop

Incredible options for apartments continue to come available in this part of town. Some of our favorite Loop properties are:

Millie on Michigan

88 E Wacker Place

These brand-new apartments pair an ideal location with high-end finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows and countless amenities.

Century Tower

182 W Lake St

Situated near eight train lines and housed in a reclaimed 1930s building, Century Tower is the perfect blend of Chicago’s history and modern comfort.

Parkline

60 E Randolph

With an urban-industrial feel and both indoor and outdoor pools Parkline’s holistic, high-end living experience is ideal for renters looking for both luxury and convenience.

If you’re looking to move in or near The Loop in Chicago, a knowledgeable Luxury Living broker can help you find the right apartment to suit your needs. Reach out today or follow the link below to start your search!

Finding Luxury Apartments in Chicago — Lincoln Park

January 3, 2023 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Known for plentiful green space, proximity to the lake and its historic, homey feel, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago’s most sought-after neighborhoods. A walk through this northside neighborhood will illuminate stunning architecture and a family feel.

If you’re considering moving neighborhoods or even a move to Chicago overall, there are a few reasons that Lincoln Park should be at the top of your location list.

Why move to Lincoln Park?

  1. Green space: when you think of a big city, you don’t always envision trees and parks – but Lincoln Park proves that stereotype wrong. Most streets in this neighborhood are densely lined with trees, and the area boasts multiple parks – including Lincoln Park itself, which stretches for miles along the lakefront.
  2. The lake: as a resident of Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan is at your beck and call. With multiple points of lakefront access, the neighborhood is a fantastic option for people who need a fix of the great outdoors while enjoying an urban environment. 
  3. The zoo: the aptly-named Lincoln Park Zoo is nestled in the neighborhood – and, perhaps better yet, it’s free! That means you have regular, easy access to one of Chicago’s cultural treasures.
  4. The restaurants: many of Chicago’s most beloved restaurants call Lincoln Park home. From Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba to Willow Room, there are dining options for every taste and budget just a short walk from each residence.

Where to live in Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park has more single-family homes than most of its southern counterparts – meaning most high-rise options have unobstructed skyline views. Some of our favorites include:

SoNo East

840 W Blackhawk St

SoNo East features a unique combination of neighborhood living with modern finishes. These buildings have a fantastic location that’s proximate to Oz Park and the Fullerton ‘L’ stop.

The Apartments at Lincoln Common

2345 N Lincoln Ave

Soaring above Lincoln Park with panoramic views, Lincoln Common boasts resident and pet-friendly amenities that include a rooftop deck, outdoor pool and garage parking.

Norweta

2611 N Hermitage

Tucked into the neighborhood and packed with amenities, Norweta is also near plenty of shops, parks and public transportation lines, making it a great combination of city and homey living.

Known as a city of neighborhoods, Chicago offers a diverse range of living options and lifestyles. Each neighborhood is a tapestry of restaurants, shops, gyms and, of course, apartments – making the options for what your life looks like in this city endless.

If convenience, trendiness and access to the latest and greatest are important to you, look no further than Fulton Market.

As Fulton Market grows, more opportunities for living in this fantastic area are proliferating. Some new, high-profile opportunities to rent are:

Parq Fulton

1400 W Randolph

Parq Fulton has an amazing location right near Union Park, proximate to Fulton Market and River West – and has gorgeous new units.

Where you’ll eat

As the epicenter of excellent dining in the city, Restaurant Row on Randolph street is home to many of Chicago’s most beloved restaurants. That tradition of quality expands to Fulton Market, just a block away.

A few must-try restaurants in this neighborhood include:

  • Roiser, a fine dining spot owned by the Alinea Group that focuses on seasonal ingredients and excellent preparation.
  • Uncooked, a great option for a healthy (and vegan!) fast-casual meal on the go.
  • Good Ambler, a coffee shop with an in-house bakery that’s a great place to get work done.
  • The Publican, a standby with great brunch and dinner options. We love this spot for out-of-towners!

Where you’ll shop

While many major retailers are beginning to call West Loop and Fulton Market home, there are still plenty of incredible local shops to enjoy. We recommend:

  • The Pop Up houses vintage jerseys, tees, shoes and art – and, as a bonus, is located on the chic first floor of the Hoxton Hotel.
  • Uncommon James was created by TV personality Kristin Cavallari and sells on-trend jewelry and unique household goods.
  • Scratch Goods is situated in a gorgeous loft space right on Randolph Street. In addition to selling hand-made skincare, they also offer DIY mask bar classes!
  • Asrai Garden is a local go-to flowers, gifts and decor, and, situated next to the Emily Hotel,  is a wonderful space to wander in.

Where you’ll go out

Where you find wonderful restaurants, you’re sure to find wonderful drinking establishments. From local haunts to fancy cocktail lounges, Fulton Market’s bars have something for everyone:

  • Blind Barber is an aptly-named speakeasy with a bustling vibe on the weekends as well as great cocktails and grilled cheese on the late-night menu (!).
  • The Aviary, created by the Alinea group, offers award-winning cocktails that would make an amazing complement to dinner at one of the fantastic restaurants nearby.
  • Punch Bowl Social, housed in a mighty warehouse space right on Fulton street, has bowling, billiards and ping pong – and is a great option for hanging with a big group.
  • Federales is a beloved local spot that’s at its best on a summer day when you can enjoy a drink on their expansive patio.
  • Tony’s Rooftop Bar sits atop Time Out market and has one of the best happy hours in the area. Since it’s proximate to the food below, it’s a great bar for meeting up with friends while having a quick bite.

Where you’ll caffeinate

No matter what new neighborhood you move to, there’s no more important spot than your new local coffee shop. Thankfully, Fulton Market is full of a range of options to get your caffeine (and work-from-wherever) fix:

  • La Colombe is known for excellent coffee, and this outpost has their good stuff on draft. It also happens to be a wonderful, vibey place to get work done (if you’re lucky enough to get a table!).
  • Good Ambler is consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful coffee spots in Chicago, and for good reason: not only are the coffee and house-made pastries incredible, it’s also a gorgeous, airy space that would make a great backdrop for a work meeting or long weekend hangout.
  • Sawada Coffee shares a space with Green Street Smoked Meats, and serves up funky drinks such as the military latte, which is made with both espresso and matcha.
  • Bittersweet Coffee and Patisserie is housed within Time Out Market, giving it a boost by allowing for multiple breakfast options nearby. Be sure to try a pastry!
  • Howdy Kolache might not focus on coffee, but the kolaches (a mix between a bun and a bagel) are one of the best possible ways to start your day.
  • The Goddess and The Grocer just opened its newest location on Randolph Street, and continues to delight with fun lattes and a full breakfast menu.

4 Fulton Market Restaurants You Have to Try

December 20, 2022 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Chicago is consistently praised as an excellent food city: from celebrity chefs to James Beard-winning up-and-comers, the city of broad shoulders has a restaurant scene that’s driven by local ingredients, diverse cuisines and, largely, neighborhoods.

Just steps from Restaurant Row in the West Loop, Fulton Market is perhaps best-known for its restaurant scene. This is exemplified by the fact that while there are many tried-and-true staples that call Fulton Market street home, there are also up-and-comers taking their turn in the spotlight as well.

4 Fulton Market Restaurants You Have to Try

While most Chicagoans travel to Fulton Market for their fix of fantastic food, lucky locals have access to fine dining, fast casual and beautiful bakeries right at their doorstep. Read on for four restaurants you have to try in the Fulton Market neighborhood.

1. For fine dining: Roiser.

Owned by The Alinea Group (need we say more) and proximate to Alinea’s world-renowned cocktail bar The Aviary, Roiser is nestled in a cozy, intimate space. The menu shifts with the seasons, but consistently focuses on excellent preparation of meats – especially the chicken, which might just be the best thing on the menu.

2. For fast casual: Uncooked.

As a vegan, fast-casual spot, Uncooked is an excellent option for healthy food on the go for breakfast or lunch. They do have the superfood smoothies you’d expect, but we recommend the inventive plates and salads – like the sesame noodle bowl, which is made from kelp noodles (you’d never know!).

3. For your morning routine: Good Ambler

Good Ambler is housed in an Instagram-worthy, airy space and serves house-made, small-batch coffee. Better yet, their pastries and chocolates (made in an open kitchen that has views of the whole space) are some of the best in the city. This is a great option for work meetings or for grabbing a coffee for a long chat with a friend.

4. For brunch: The Publican

While The Publican has an incredible dinner menu and atmosphere, we recommend it for brunch because of the uniqueness of its morning offerings. They also have a patio with a full view of Fulton Street, making it a great place to post up with a mimosa.

4 Fulton Market, Chicago Shopping Destinations You Can’t Miss

December 13, 2022 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

As one of the centers of culture for Chicago, Fulton Market is brimming with award-winning restaurants, taste-making bars, local coffee shops, and, of course, luxury living options. While the growing neighborhood and neighboring West Loop area are certainly home to many popular brands such as Anthropologie, Lululemon and Allbirds, part of the local charm for this community is the local shopping spots.

Whether you’re looking for a special gift, gorgeous bouquet or niche item, Fulton Market’s shopping destinations are varied – but unique offerings are what tie them together.

Read on for four shopping destinations you can’t miss in Fulton Market.

4 Fulton Market Shopping Destinations to Explore

  1. The Pop Up: Located on the ground floor of the Hoxton Hotel, the Pop Up houses an incredible collection of vintage and designer goods. What you’ll find there changes daily, as new clothing, jerseys, shoes and art hit the floor. This is a great stop for hard-to-find things and collectibles.
  2. Uncommon James: Created by TV personality Kristin Cavallari, Uncommon James is a jewelry boutique that also sells unique household finds. The West Loop location is one of only three in the U.S., making it a great place to take out-of-towners looking for a special find during their time in Chicago.
  3. Scratch Goods: Scratch Goods is located in a gorgeous, airy loft space on Randolph Street and sells small-batch, clean skincare products that are made right here in Chicago. Their products are top-notch – but one of the best parts of Scratch Goods are the mask bar classes, which walk you through a relaxing facial experience (and it’s BYOB!).
  4. Asrai Garden: Located next to the Emily Hotel, Asrai Garden is a go-to for unique home goods, gifts and flowers. Regardless of your shopping list, the space is well-worth stopping by: you’re immediately greeted with the smell of flowers upon walking in, and you’ll always find something new and different to take home.

Check Out These 5 Fulton Market, Chicago Bars

December 6, 2022 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

While Fulton Market continues to grow as a hotspot for luxury apartments, its roots are in the culinary space. What was first Chicago’s meatpacking district slowly blossomed into the epicenter for trendy restaurants and bars in the city.

New options for various tastes seem to pop up every day in Fulton Market – but even now, there’s a plethora of bars for every occasion: drinks with coworkers, romantic dates, friend hangouts and everything in between.

Read on for five Fulton Market bars worth checking out.

5 Bars in Fulton Market to Check Out

  1. Blind Barber: One of the city’s best speakeasies hides in plain sight on Fulton Street behind (you guessed it!) a barber shop. The shop actually does hair cuts – but more importantly, it houses a 70s-themed bar with moody lighting, great cocktails and grilled cheese in the back.
  2. The Aviary: Anything created by the Alinea group has to be good, and the Aviary is no exception. This is a great option for a celebration or intimate date, as the cocktails are sure to be some of the best you’ve ever had.
  3. Punch Bowl Social: Housed in an expansive space, Punch Bowl Social has good drinks – but better yet, they also have great games such as bowling, ping pong, billiards and an arcade. For that reason, Punch Bowl Social is perfect for a big group hangout or for drinks with coworkers.
  4. Federales: Known for a rowdy atmosphere and incredible summer patio hang, Federales is the ideal spot for beginning or ending a great night out. Bonus points for hitting the bell with your shot glass made from ice!
  5. Tony’s Rooftop Bar: Nestled atop Time Out Market, Tony’s Rooftop Bar is one of the last little-known rooftop bars in Fulton Market. Here, you can also snack on bites from one of Time Out’s restaurant booths while enjoying fantastic happy hour options.

6 Fulton Market Coffee Shops to Visit

November 30, 2022 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

You’re never really home until you find your coffee shop – a local place that knows your name, and, most importantly, your regular order. 

As Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood grows, its new residents will need to participate in the sacred search for their new coffee shop home (in addition to their search for an actual home). And they’re in luck: with many old standbys and trendy newcomers alike, Fulton’s coffee scene won’t disappoint.

6 of our Favorite Fulton Market Coffee Shops

  • La Colombe: Known for its excellent coffee and draft drinks, the West Loop/Fulton Market location of LaColombe is also a vibey, lowkey place to meet a friend or get work done.
  • Good Ambler: Located in the heart of Fulton Market, Good Ambler is consistently ranked as one of the best coffee shops in the city for its beautiful interior design, excellent coffee options and – surprise – fun pastries and delectable chocolates.
  • Sawada Coffee: Sharing a space with Green Street Smoked Meats, Sawada Coffee might lack workspaces but makes up for it in funky drinks like the Military Latte.
  • Bittersweet Coffee and Patisserie: Nestled within Time Out Market, Bittersweet is an excellent, well-located grab-and-go option that also offers great pastry options.
  • Howdy Kolache: As the new kid on the block (literally), Howdy Kolache mixes up the Fulton Market coffee scene with kolaches, which are a mix between a bun and a bagel. You might not consider this a great place to work, but it’s an on-point option for when you need a bite with your coffee.
  • The Goddess and the Grocer: The Fulton Market location of Goddess and the Grocer has all the tenets of its other city locations: fun lattes as well as a full breakfast and lunch menu.

Reading Time: 5 Minutes

Nestled next to the West Loop and River North neighborhoods, Fulton Market is known both to Chicagoans and visitors as a center for culture, food, trends and, most recently, beautiful high-rise buildings. As this area continues to develop, more options for apartments that keep you close to the action are proliferating; there’s never been a better time to consider moving to this vibrant part of town.

While Fulton Market is currently associated with luxury, its roots are much less glamorous.

The History of Fulton Market

Today, Fulton Street is peppered with new restaurants and high-rise luxury hotels. Historically, though, this area was a meat-packing district: home to the Fulton Street Wholesale Market Company, Fulton previously teemed with wholesale and local meat sellers, who provided meat and other food products to many businesses in the city. The neighborhood modernized over time, but continued mostly as an area for industry – not a place where people were drawn to live.

That began to change when Oprah opened Harpo Studios on Randolph and May streets in 1989. According to WTTW, Chicagoans consider this as a catalyst for change in the neighborhood; many restaurants soon followed, and the area continued to morph into the cultural center it is today. Though some meat-packing wholesalers still remain!

It’s always worth knowing the history of your city and neighborhood, as it can help you contextualize and appreciate where it stands today.

What To Do in Fulton Market

The ‘best things’ to do in Fulton Market change seemingly every day as new restaurants, hotels, gyms and venues open. Life in this district is vibrant and full of options for both work and play.

Where to eat

  • Rose Mary might be Chicago’s hottest reservation right now. Helmed by Top Chef-winner Joe Flamm, it serves Croatian food that’s sure to surprise and delight even the most foodie of your friends.
  • Duck Duck Goat is a standby for a globally-inspired twist on Chinese food by celebrity chef Stepanie Izard. 
  • J.P. Graziano’s is consistently ranked as home to one of the best sandwiches in Chicago, and pays homage to the area’s roots by sourcing and slicing their own meats. 

Where to work out

  • The West Loop Athletic Club is an excellent option for those looking for variety in their workouts: the gym has full-size courts as well as equipment for all workout types for all skill levels.
  • Studio Three just opened a brand-new studio in Fulton Market, which houses its signature yoga, interval and cycle classes in a gorgeous space.
  • Core Power has a Fulton Market location that caters to hardcore and new yogies alike.
  • P.volve uses low-impact but high-powered classes to sculpt at all skill levels.

Where to play

  • Soho House has a location in the West Loop, adjacent to Fulton Market, that caters to its members through exclusive events, dining experiences, and – perhaps most importantly – a rooftop pool. 
  • The United Center, home to the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks teams, hosts big-name concerts and comedians in addition to basketball and hockey games.

Additionally, 89 car parking spaces and 153 bike parking spaces will be available to renters.

Residents will have access to multiple amenity decks, including an expansive common outdoor space on the top floor, an outdoor pool, a dog run, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and more.

Cozy Up at These Chicago Restaurants with a Fireplace to This Fall

September 7, 2022 | By Gabrielle Gresge
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

The transition from summer to fall is always a bittersweet one here in Chicago: in trading our rooftops and pools for sweaters and fireplaces, there’s an element of coziness in the air that feels uniquely Midwestern. The Cubs and Sox close out their seasons, and the Bears suit up for another year at Soldier Field.

Not all parts of the country have the luxury of experiencing changing leaves and crisp autumn weather, making fall a unique asset of the midwest. And just as summer is synonymous with patios, fall gives us a chance to curl up next to a fireplace.

4 Chicago Restaurants with Great Fireplaces

  1. Park & Field (Logan Square): With indoor and outdoor spaces (and a bottomless brunch!), Park & Field is a great option for a casual group hang, after work happy hour or weekend patio post-up. Their outdoor fire pits even come with blankets – so you can enjoy the great outdoors while staying cozy.
  2. Ella Eli (Lakeview): Boasting inventive, delicious shared plates and a dining area that could rival the most relaxing of living rooms, Ella Eli’s crown jewel is a fireplace that makes the space (and the food) even more comfy.
  3. Hopleaf (Andersonville): This locals-only bar has an extensive beer list and excellent food. With plenty of space for a big group of friends, its fireplace is a great counterpart to the large outdoor patio that stays open well into the autumnal months.
  4. The Dawson (River West): The Dawson has multiple indoor and outdoor fireplaces, making the multi-level restaurant’s spaces as dynamic as its food. Make sure you grab a reservation – this is a popular spot that fills quickly! 

4 Apartments with Shared Fireplace Amenities

1. One Bennett Park

Streeterville | 451 E Grand

This newly-built tower in one of Chicago’s ritziest neighborhoods boasts incredible amenity spaces, which include both an indoor and outdoor fireplace.

2. NEMA

South Loop | 1200 S Indiana

Luxury Living Chicago Realty’s New River North Office

January 12, 2022 | By Lindsay Smith
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

We moved! We are so thrilled to finally announce our brand new hybrid office space, situated in the heart of River North at 420 W Huron Street.

Our New Hybrid Workplace at 420 West Huron St., Suite 100A

Most companies have an office and we, instead, are re-defining what a workspace means at Luxury Living Chicago Realty. That workspace is LLCR “HomeBase”.

In describing our process of moving into a hybrid workplace, we did a lot of research. We had many conversations with our team members, we listened to input from several thought leaders, and analyzed some data. Weighing out a physical vs. digital vs. combination workplace for months. In the end, we decided upon a combination, for a few reasons:

  1. Digital, because our digital platforms and processes carried us all throughout 2020 and into most of 2021 as well. We could do it all online. And some of us found that you could stay more laser-focused in your own zone as well.
  2. Physical, because we longed for togetherness. Meetings weren’t the same online; you just couldn’t connect online like you do in person. And throughout 2020, keeping up with each other was tougher than it ever had been before.

And that’s why we decided hybrid was the way to go.

Mid-2020, our current office was coming up for renewal and we started looking for a new option. That’s when we stumbled upon Expansive. This coworking space at 420 W Huron has dedicated office space for companies, private meeting rooms, and shared space for all types of work. We moved into an office, but it didn’t feel quite like “home” just yet. That all changed in 2021.

Around July of 2021, we moved into a larger space at Expansive, and were determined to make this place truly feel like home. Because that’s what 2020 taught us. We all need a place that you could truly feel at home at. A place where you could do all types of work. Work we refer to as Field, Flow, and Studio.

Field, Flow, Studio

In the simplest way, this lays out the three basic types of work and space our team need to be successful.

Field is the execution environment. Where the game is played or the sale is made.

Flow is the collaboration environment. Where ideas and skills are shared and further shaped.

Studio is the deep-work environment. Where ideas and skills are created and honed.

And in our new office at 420 W Huron St, that is shown in a few ways. In Flow, we have several collaboration areas, from 6-person workplace pods with desktops to a couch/lounge area to a cozy corner with bistro-style seating. In Studio, we have plenty of “get stuff done zones” as well, like 1-seater high-tops to other smaller seating groups sprinkled throughout the space. And Field is, well, in the field!

We are so excited for our new office “HomeBase” in River North!

If you’re interested in learning more about Luxury Living Chicago Realty, looking to make a career move, or are simply searching for a new apartment or condo in Chicago, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Apply for Apartments in Downtown Chicago: Renting in Four Easy Steps

November 18, 2021 | By Amy Galvin
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Luxury Living Chicago Realty works with over 1000 luxury Chicago renters every year and the number one question we are asked by our clients is about how to apply for apartments in downtown Chicago.

How To Apply for a Downtown Chicago Apartment

Here are the four easy steps to take to apply for apartments in Downtown Chicago:

Step 1

Once you select your new Chicago apartment, you’ll fill out an application with your rental history and have a credit and background check run. The cost to apply for an apartment in Chicago is typically $55-$75 depending on the property.

Step 2

When you have passed the credit and background check, you will need to show proof of income. The last two pay stubs, or an offer letter for a new job are perfect. You can also supply a bank account statement to show proof of funds.

Step 3

Most landlords or property management companies require tenants to earn at least three times the monthly rent in gross income in order to qualify. For example, if you want to rent a $2000 one-bedroom, you must earn at least $6000 per month before taxes.

Step 4

You’ll need to pay first month’s rent upon lease signing. In Chicago you don’t have to pay last month’s rent. Also, in most cases, properties downtown are forgoing a security deposit in lieu of a one time $400-$600 move in fee. The fee is non-refundable, but saves you a lot of money upfront.

If you’re looking to secure an apartment quickly, you should bring a credit card, checkbook, proof of income (pay stubs or offer letter), and information to help you fill out your rental history with you when you are viewing apartments. Having these materials with you will help you start the application process right away when you are touring apartments in downtown Chicago.

Ready to start your Chicago apartment hunting process? Our team of experienced leasing professionals are here to help walk you through the process every step of the way. Follow the link below to get started!

Two of the Prettiest Neighborhoods in Chicago

November 8, 2021 | By Lauren Bozarth
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

Old Town and River North are considered two of the prettiest neighborhoods to live in but for vastly different reasons. Let’s see how these two gorgeous downtown Chicago communities compare.

Two of the Prettiest Neighborhoods in Chicago

old town apartment buildings

Old Town

There is no denying the charm that the Old Town neighborhood offers. Walking down the tree-lined streets, you’ll stumble across stunning Victorian-style homes, quaint narrow streets, and adorable local shops.

You can see traces of Old Town’s history in much of the classic architecture, especially around the Old Town Triangle.

The history of Old Town explains where a lot of its charm came from. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, the Old Town Triangle was one of the only surviving areas. Afterward, it began to grow, initially attracting many artists and even playing a part in World War II. After the war, the area was known as “North Town” and began hosting art fairs called “Old Town Holiday.” Eventually, the name evolved into its current name, “Old Town.”

In the late 1970s, the City Council of Chicago designated most of the Old Town Triangle a Chicago Landmark to preserve the architectural and historic character of the area. 

Some of the most iconic buildings are still standing here, including St. Michaels Church and the Second City. You can also find plenty more beautiful old buildings that have been around since before the disaster.

River North

River North is equally as magical as Old Town but in a unique way. Many people are enchanted by the downtown neighborhood’s ultra-hip and ultra-urban setting. 

The countless shiny skyscrapers and sleek art galleries tucked away into old warehouse buildings are bound to impress.

River North’s gallery district has attracted plenty of creatives and remains a charming area within the neighborhood. This district emerged during the late 1970s when artists and dealers found themselves drawn to the expansive and dynamic spaces offered by the neighborhood’s former manufacturing buildings. 

Now, the area houses the largest concentration of art galleries in the United States after Manhattan.

As its name implies, River North is located right along the beautiful Chicago River. Tourists and residents alike enjoy boating through or strolling along the beautiful water. There are also a handful of top-notch restaurants and bars along the river.

River North boasts a handful of iconic buildings known for their history and jaw-dropping architecture. Merchandise Mart, The Wrigley Building, and the Holy Name Cathedral are all sites to behold.

Many people also appreciate the fantastic views that many of the River North skyscrapers offer. There’s nothing like sipping on your favorite drink and soaking up the ariel views of the Windy City.

November 3, 2021 | By Lauren Bozarth
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

The Windy City makes a phenomenal place to live as a sports fan. Throughout downtown Chicago, you can find the stadiums and arenas where all the city’s major sporting events occur.  

Best Neighborhoods for Chicago Sports Fans

Let us help you find the best neighborhood for you, depending on your sport of choice.

Live Near Wrigley Field

Baseball fans should consider the Lakeview community, specifically Wrigleyville, where the iconic Wrigley Field is located. Game days in this neighborhood are something to behold. The streets, stadium and bars are bustling with enthusiastic Cubs fans, and the energy cannot be beaten.

Lakeview is a few miles north of the downtown Loop, south of Uptown, north of Lincoln Park, and west of North Center. The Wrigleyville area runs from Halsted Street on the east, Irving Park Road on the north, Racine Street on the west and Cornelia Avenue on the south.

Wrigleyville adopted its name shortly after Wrigley Field opened its doors in 1914. Since then, many die-hard Cubs fans have resided nearby.

If you want easy access to everything Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville offer, consider living at the Addison & Clark luxury apartment building at 1025 West Addison.

Live Near Soldier Field

If you’re someone who holds season tickets to the Bears game, South Loop may be the most convenient neighborhood for you. This urban neighborhood, directly south of the Loop and against Lake Michigan, is home to the infamous Soldier Field.

Imagine only having to walk a few blocks to tailgate and enjoy a football game downtown!

Not only does Soldier Field host the Bears games, but it’s also the spot to watch soccer games, concerts, and other large events that happen throughout the year.

While Soldier Field remains a popular attraction in South Loop, you can also find the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and Adler Planetarium in this neighborhood.

The Paragon Chicago, at 1326 South Michigan Avenue, is an excellent living option if you’re interested in contemporary living nearby Soldier Field and many of the other major South Loop attractions.

Live Near the United Center

The United Center is the spot the Blackhawks and Bulls play. So, rather you’re a basketball or hockey fan, consider living in the West Loop, one of Chicago’s hottest neighborhoods that provides easy access to the large sporting arena.

Sports fans can also appreciate the number of sports bars in the West Loop area. There are plenty of great spots to watch the game, grab a drink, and enjoy some good food.

Chicago Hipster Neighborhoods — Logan Square vs. Wicker Park

September 15, 2021 | By Lauren Bozarth
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Logan Square and Wicker Park are considered two of Chicago’s coolest neighborhoods — but which one is right for you? The Luxury Living Chicago Realty team is here to help you understand the differences between these two Chicago hipster neighborhoods so that you can make the choice that’s best for you.

Wicker Park

Situated west of the Kennedy Expressway, east of Humboldt Park, and south of the Bloomingdale Trail, this popular neighborhood offers an excellent spot to live.

With a high concentration of restaurants, bars and boutiques near and along North Milwaukee Avenue, there is never a lack of things to do in Wicker Park.

While many young professionals reside in the area, Wicker Park is also considered a very family-oriented spot, offering everything from single-family homes to brand new apartments.

Excellent public transit makes commuting in and out of the area reasonably easy. Wicker Park is also ranked as the fourth most walkable neighborhood in Chicago.

Logan Square

The charming Logan Square neighborhood is known for its regal Greystone buildings and old trees that line the neighborhood’s grassy boulevards.

While Logan Square shares many similarities with Wicker Park, this neighborhood has a reputation for being more up-and-coming. Home prices are relatively lower than those in Wicker. However, they are on the rise as more people want to make the move to this booming neighborhood.

This neighborhood attracts plenty of young and diverse people looking for a hip spot to call home.

When looking at a map, you’ll notice that Logan Square is just Northwest of Wicker Park. Although this puts the neighborhood a bit further from the city, it still provides excellent access to downtown through the blue line.

Units to Consider

Regardless of which of these Chicago hipster neighborhoods is right for you, both areas offer great living options.

If Wicker Park aligns best with your lifestyle, consider checking out Wicker Park Connection, located at 1640 W Division Street. These sleek new apartments offer premier living on the southeast corner of Wicker Park, near multiple schools and other neighborhood joints. Choose from a one-bedroom or studio apartment.

For those drawn to Logan Square living, Logan Apartments may be the right move for you. This pair of new buildings connected through an elevated sky bridge at 2480-2522 N Milwaukee Avenue.

Should You Live in Lincoln Park or Search for Old Town, Chicago Apartments?

September 8, 2021 | By Lauren Bozarth
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

If you decide whether you should live in Lincoln Park or Old Town Chicago apartments, you’ll find this choice challenging.

These next-door neighborhoods north of downtown are known for their walkability and access to charming boutiques, great restaurants, and other attractions — but they each have their distinct personalities and benefits.

The Luxury Living Chicago Realty team wants to help you make the best decision for your lifestyle and living preferences. We’ll compare the benefits of each neighborhood.

Living in Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park is one of the Windy City’s most charming neighborhoods. It’s bordered on the north by Diversey Parkway, on the west by the Chicago River, on the south by North Avenue, and on the east by Lake Michigan.

It also lies right along Lake Michigan and the infamous park its named after, which also happens to be the city’s largest park and the nation’s second most visited park.

The park boasts over 1,000 sprawling acres and plenty of activities for everyone. Here you can find the popular Lincoln Park Zoo, a conservatory, driving range, archery range, restaurants, museums, and more.

Walking through the neighborhood, you can find an array of tree-lined streets, old historic walk-ups, and some of Chicago’s most distinctive commercial corridors. These corridors are home to trendy boutiques, iconic restaurants and entertaining nightlife.

Fifty-five percent of Lincoln Park residents are aged 25-54 with a median age of about 30. Depaul University attracts many young people to the neighborhood, but you can still find plenty of older adults and families throughout the area.

Living in Old Town

Old Town sits directly south of Lincoln Park, bounded by Division Street to the south, North Avenue to the north, Clybourn Avenue to the east, and Larrabee Street to the west.

While Old Town and Lincoln Park share many similarities, Old Town does bring residents a bit closer to the heart of downtown. For some, this means added convenience, while others prefer the distance that Lincoln Park provides.

Old Town still offers a residential feel with Victorian-era buildings, brick alleyways and narrow, tree-lined streets. 

This historic Chicago neighborhood also offers pretty easy access to Lincoln Park, but Old Town itself is not known for its green space. Instead, it provides residents with other impressive activities and entertainment, including hot dining spots, bars, and comedy clubs.

Residents can appreciate the public transit available in the area, with the brown, red, and purple lines running through the neighborhood, as well as plenty of bus routes.

Spend a day or evening in Old Town, and you’ll quickly observe and feel the energy the community provides. There are plenty of young and vibrant people calling the area home. Old Town’s population is made up of 38 percent one-person households and 44 percent non-family households, with only 2 percent of households of married couples with children.

Apartments in Lincoln Park and Old Town

Whether you’ve decided to live in Lincoln Park or Old Town, it may be worth comparing units in both neighborhoods.

Whether you’re new to the Windy City or have lived here for a long time, here are some fun things to do during your Chicago summer.

Great Restaurants with Equally Great Outdoor Spaces

Spending a meal outside with friends and families is an everyday summertime activity. Chicago offers plenty of killer restaurants with fantastic outdoor dining options and breathtaking views.

Be sure to add these restaurants to your summer bucket list:

  • London House: London House is home to Chicago’s only 3-level rooftop venue. It has stunning views of the city with dining indoors and out. Level 22 features the outdoor terrace with views of The Chicago River, Magnificient Mile, and Lake Michigan. Enjoy small bites and great cocktails at this one-of-a-kind space.

It features private outdoor spaces that overlook Chicago’s River. They serve small plates, creative cocktails and have an extensive list of craft beer. 
  • Cindy’s: Known as the “jewel in the crown” of The Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, Cindy’s is an open-air terrace with 360-degree views of the city. Enjoy classic drinks and delicious food while taking in the views of the Art Institute, Lake Michigan, and Millennium Park. 
  • The Godfrey: On the fourth floor of The Godfrey, you will find an urban rooftop oasis. With uninterrupted views, a fire pit, gorgeous water elements, and a retractable roof, The Godfrey in River North has unique amenities unlike any other venue in the city.

After a meal in the city, consider finding a fun activity!

Free Summertime Activities

Lincoln Park Zoo

If you’re on a budget but don’t want that to keep you from your summer bucket list, take advantage of Chicago’s free activities.

  • Lincoln Park Zoo: If you’re a fan of wildlife, take a trip to this impressive zoo at no cost. Along with all your favorite animals, you can also admire the gorgeous Chicago skyline in the backdrop.
  • Chicago Lakefront Trail: Walk, run, bike or rollerblade this scenic 18-mile paved path that follows the Lake Michigan shoreline on the city’s eastern edge trail. It’s a great way to get your body moving and soak up the Chicago scenery while doing so.
  • The Beach: Visit one of the Chicago beaches located right along Lake Michigan. Spend the afternoon at Oak Street Beach if you’re looking for a beach near downtown, or take your pup to Montrose Beach for a  great pet-friendly option. Be sure to look into which beaches allow swimming if you feel like taking a dip.
  • Chicago Riverwalk: Stroll along the infamous Riverwalk for a great way to admire all of the beautiful Chicago architecture. Along the way, you’ll find plenty of dining and drinking options.
  • Milleneum Park: This popular spot is worth a visit if you haven’t yet been. Here you will find the “Bean,” one of Chicago’s most iconic public sculptures, along with plenty of other free activities and events. You can take a walk through Lurie Garden, rock climb at Maggie Daley Park, or enjoy a show at the Great Lawn.
  • Hyde Park Art Center: Stop by the oldest alternative exhibition space in Chicago at no cost. The art center is a hub for contemporary arts and features incredible artists and creative works.
  • Garfield Park Conservatory: Venture a few miles out of downtown Chicago to find one of the nation’s largest and most stunning botanical conservatories. This 184-acre park boasts a swimming pool, fishing lagoon, athletic fields, tennis courts and more.
  • Summer Fireworks: Every Wednesday and Saturday night from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, Navy Pier hosts a dazzling free fireworks display. Sit along the beach or find a nearby rooftop to enjoy the show!

Summer Art Festivals

If you love music and art festivals, you’ll be glad to know Chicago hosts plenty during the summer. While some big events have passed this summer, you can always add these festivals to next summer’s bucket list.

Here are a few popular events worth considering:

  • Bucktown Arts Fest: Every year, the Bucktown neighborhood hosts its annual arts festival on August 24th and 25th across from Holstein Park. For over 30 years, this festival has showcased hundreds of artists who work in oil, watercolor, photography, textile, sculpture, jewelry, and more. 
  • Renegade Craft Fair:  On September 8th and 9th, Wicker Park will host Renegade Chicago’s largest event of the year right along Division Street. Here you can find over 400 artists and designers from throughout the country. The fair will also feature local DJs, workshops, art installations, food trucks, nonprofits, adult beverages, and more.
  • Wicker Park Fest: Over the summer, Wicker Park hosts its own annual fest for residents, neighbors, and visitors alike. The five-day festival occurs at the end of July and reflects the neighborhood’s rich musical heritage, vibrant nightlife, and acclaimed restaurants. Attendees can also find local artisans and arts and crafts. While this year’s fest may have passed, it’s not too early to start planning for next year.
  • Lollapalooza: Towards the end of July, Grant Parks hosts this iconic four-day event featuring some of the world’s best music artists. During the show, attendees can also enjoy some of the best views of the Chicago skyline and shores of Lake Michigan. Next year’s Lollapalooza takes place July 29th through August 1st.

Spend Time in Lincoln Park

North Pond Restaurant

As the second most visited public park in the entire United States and the largest park in Chicago, Lincoln Park is a hot spot in the summer.

During the sunny months, residents and guests alike take full advantage of this sprawling green space situated just north of the Loop right along Lake Michigan.

Boasting nearly 1,200 acres, this park offers plenty of activities. You can enjoy a scenic picnic or go for a bike ride along the trails. Or, if you’re looking for more of an activity, you can visit the zoo, conservatory, museum, driving range or catch a show at the Theatre on the Lake.

You can also find a couple of restaurants right in the park, including North Pond and Barcino’s Italian Grill.

Nearby the park in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, you can find a handful of great dining options and fun options. Those who enjoy shopping can also browse all of the eclectic boutiques throughout the area.

Famous Chicago Architecture in the Gold Coast

March 23, 2021 | By Lindsay Smith
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

The historic Gold Coast features stunning architecture and design that has been well-preserved throughout the years. If you’re into learning about some of the most famous Chicago architecture dating back to the 19th century, read on.

Famous Architecture in Chicago’s Gold Coast

As you walk along the Gold Coast streets you’ll find plenty of unique architectural elements, including Romanesque, Queen Anne, Modern, Renaissance, and Georgian Revival styles.

Characterized by its round arches, the Romanesque style can be found throughout many buildings in the Gold Coast. Stemming from the mid-11th century, this medieval European style is showcased along several Astor Street townhouses dating back to 1889. Admire the stunning stone walls, arched windows, and massive walls of these Romanesque Gold Coast buildings.

Another style you will see as you peruse mansions in the Gold Coast is Queen Anne. This style features an asymmetrical facade, varying wall textures, columns, covered balconies, and bay windows. A great example of this style in the Gold Coast is the current home to Chicago’s Archbishop, which was built in 1885.

Showcased in many Gold Coast homes is the modern style. This type of architecture includes a clean aesthetic, heavy use of horizontal and vertical lines, and simple shapes and forms throughout. The Charnley-Persky House in the Gold Coast, built by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan in 1892, is just one of the beautifully constructed modern homes in the area.

Renaissance architecture is also seen in many historical buildings in the Gold Coast. This style can be found through its symmetrical design, columns, arches, and domes. The Wrigley mansion, designed by Richard Schmidt in 1896, showcases the brilliant architecture of the Italian Renaissance.

Developed from colonial architecture, Georgian Revival is found throughout various Gold Coast mansions as well. This style features a rectangular facade with shutters, high ceilings, crown molding, and a grand entrance. The Patterson McCormick mansion, designed by Stanford White in 1892, is a prime example of the Georgian style in the Gold Coast.

These architectural styles are expressed across various buildings in Gold Coast and all throughout Chicago. Taking a stroll along the city streets will let you uncover some of the most beautiful historical landmarks in the area.

If you’re interested in living near some of the most famous architecture in Chicago, look no further than the Gold Coast. The Luxury Living team can help you find the right apartment and help answer any questions you may have about your apartment search.

March 11, 2021 | By Lindsay Smith
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

When living in the Gold Coast, you get instant access to endless things to do and see, including some of the area’s top cocktail bars, trendy restaurants, and italian joints. 

If you’re on the hunt for a romantic, italian spot for date night, the Gold Coast is the place to be. Read on to discover some of the top italian restaurants in the area. 

Best Italian Restaurants in Gold Coast Chicago

Gold Coast is home to many of the top italian restaurants in Chicago that are perfect for date nights. 

For a vast selection of wine and cocktails, check out Nico Osteria. When dining at this swanky chic venue, make sure to start off with a cocktail, share a few small plates, order a delicious pasta dish, and be sure to save room for dessert.

Carmine’s is a lively supper club with plenty of different seating options, including bar, dining, courtyard, and outdoor patio seating. With their hearty portions of pasta, great atmosphere, and local crowd, Carmine’s is a must-try. If you’re torn between which dish to get, the rigatoni alla vodka won’t disappoint.

The ultimate wine cellar atmosphere can be experienced at Eduardo’s Enoteca. This warm and cozy spot gives the best exclusive wine bar experience, accompanied by fantastic deep dish pizza or great pastas with homemade sauce. Chill and chat with some friends here while enjoying one of their infamous wine flights.

Known for their to-die-for appetizers, Osteria del Pastaio is the definition of fine italian cuisine. This traditional italian restaurant boasts scrumptious homemade pastas in an intimate space. We suggest starting off with the calamari appetizer and then moving to the pesto gnocchi, both are fan-favorites! 

Mario’s Table is a longtime neighborhood favorite with homestyle italian dishes. This restaurant has a two for one wine deal on Tuesdays and an eggplant parmigiana out of this world, making this hidden gem a win-win.

During WWII, the streets that form the Old Town Triangle (North, Clark, and Ogden avenues) were designated as a neighborhood defense unit. After the war, the residents of this area started annual art fairs named “Old Town Holiday.” The tradition of arts and culture in Old Town has stood strong for many decades.

Know Your Home: A Concise River North History

December 16, 2020 | By Lauren Bozarth
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

History of River North, Chicago

River North is a dynamic city with an equally colorful past. Residents and visitors alike can appreciate the River North history and how the area became what it is today.

Presently, the vibrant River North is a hub for young professionals, art lovers, and foodies taking advantage of the area’s incredible dining, nightlife, galleries, and central location. In fact, River North is ranked as the fastest and largest growing neighborhoods in the Windy City.

River North truly began to evolve into the neighborhood it is today after the Chicago Fire of 1871.  Following the catastrophe, River North quickly rebuilt and introduced municipal buildings, housing for workers, warehouses, shipping facilities, and railroad tracks. Eventually, the industrial area became a warehouse district, with the construction of the Merchandise Mart, a 25-story building storing many of the city’s goods.

The Merchandise Mart opened its doors in 1930 as the world’s largest building at 4,200,000 square feet and spanning two city blocks. Originally the Merchandise Mart was intended to consolidate wholesale activities. However, the Great Depression led to many shops closing their doors and the federal government leasing the vacant spaces. 

In 1945 Joseph P. Kennedy revitalized the original commercial concept and gradually re-opened it to the public. Showrooms thrived with conventions and events, and the building became famous as a media center, hosting Chicago’s NBC studios. The Kennedys eventually sold the Mart to Vornado Realty Trust in 1998.

Average Square Footage of Downtown Chicago Apartments

October 29, 2020 | By Aaron Galvin
Reading Time: 2 Minutes

When searching for downtown Chicago apartments, many renters are concerned about square footage. While renters should definitely know the square footage of an apartment, they should keep in mind how large an apartment feels will depend on the layout and flow of the space.

For example, it’s not uncommon for a 700 square foot one bedroom to feel larger than one marked at 850 square feet within the same building. Hallways, closet space, open concepts, and window placements play a huge role in the perception of space.

So next time you start looking for an apartment, be aware of square footage, but don’t make it the starting point or a number that you are unwilling to look past.

How is Apartment Square Footage Measured?

Measuring the square footage of an apartment in Chicago is unregulated. No national standard actually exists. There are a few different ways to measure an apartment and they are all based on the architect’s methods.

Some architects measure from the interior wall and others from the center of the wall shared with another unit. While this doesn’t sound like a big difference, it can easily add 10 square feet to an apartment’s size, but it’s not an actual livable space.

Some architects measure only “livable” space (i.e. bedroom, living room, hallway), but not bathrooms, kitchens or closet space. This usually scares a client when they hear a one-bedroom is only 600 square feet, but when you factor in every space it’s really more like 800 square feet.

Some architects will include the balcony or other outdoor space. This method makes the unit appear much larger on paper, but really it’s smaller.

What is the Average Square Footage of Chicago Apartments for Rent?

Not only does Luxury Living Chicago Realty work with thousands of renters every year, we are also an industry leader in data collection and analysis. The average square footage of luxury downtown Chicago apartments is as follows:

  • Studios: 551 square feet
  • Junior one bedrooms/convertibles: 666 square feet
  • One bedroom: 789 square feet
  • One bedroom plus den: 884 square feet
  • Two bedrooms: 1,108 square feet
  • Three bedrooms: 1,623 square feet

When you’re looking for a new apartment, don’t obsess over square footage until you take a tour. Keep an open mind and you’ll probably be surprised. If you’re looking for guidance, the Luxury Living Chicago Team would be glad to help!

What is in Old Town, Chicago?

September 1, 2020 | By Lindsay Smith
Reading Time: 4 Minutes

There is so much to do and see in this quaint neighborhood right outside downtown Chicago. Rich with history, beautiful architecture, and tree-lined streets — this truly is the ultimate spot for living in the city. 

Old Town is home to some of Chicago’s oldest buildings, including one that is still standing after the Great Chicago Fire. This area is so old that many of the streets here were actually built before the Chicago grid system, which is why some of the roads here are diagonal. 

Don’t worry though — if you’re not a history buff, Old Town has plenty of fresh new hangout spots for you as well. Just check out some of these trendy restaurants and bars:

Make Dinner Plans at These Top Old Town Restaurants

Old Town has some of the best spots in Chicago for a casual bite with friends or a date night with your special someone.

Topo Gigio is the place to be when you’re craving a classic Italian experience. Full of romantic vibes, a comforting ambiance and mouth-watering dishes, your date will be highly impressed with this pick.

If you’re looking for a high class twist on American food, head to Boka. And if experimenting with new dishes is your thing, then be sure to try the Rohan Duck… it’s one of the best dishes on the menu.

Twin Anchors dates back to 1932, making it one of the oldest restaurants in the city of Chicago. This Old Town gem has always been known for excellent barbeque ribs. And just to prove how good they are, even Frank Sinatra made sure to visit!

A fan of the classic pizza and beer combo? Then Happy Camper is the perfect spot for you. A bit more laid back, this Old Town pick has some of the neighborhood’s best pizza in a super fun and energetic environment.

Old Town Chicago Bars to Try This Weekend

From casual breweries to upscale cocktail lounges, Old Town has it all.

Devereaux is an upscale rooftop lounge with a swimming pool and a small menu of New-American bites. The views here are absolutely killer, so you have to be sure to check this place out.

Not only does Old Town Pour House have some of the best collections of craft beers, they also have extremely tasty pub food, plenty of big screens for sport-watching, and an upbeat atmosphere.

J. Parker is a high-class rooftop bar with breathtaking views of Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan and a wide collection of delicious signature cocktails. 

If you’re into dive bars, you have to check out Old Town Ale House. Grab a drink from their wide range of beers and head on over to the old school jukebox to dance to some of your favorite throwbacks.

Grab a Coffee and Hit the Shops of Old Town, Chicago

Shopping is a lot of work, and that’s why you have to pregame it with some of Old Town’s best coffee shops!

There are so many great coffee shops in Old Town, but you absolutely have to try Elaine’s Coffee Call and Intelligentsia. And if you like to enjoy a light snack with your coffee, head to Bombo Bar, where you get to infuse a homemade donut with any fillings you can think of.

When you’re ready to hit the shops, head over to Wells Street. First, check out Vida Boutique, the spot for elegant capsule wardrobe staples. Next, make your way to Mercy Beaucoup where you can find Armani, Tory Burch, and many other designer items. Then, head to Sara Jane, another boutique that sells one-of-a-kind contemporary pieces.

If you aren’t tired yet, head a bit south and you’ll find Madwell, Aritzia, and Reformation — some other great shops that carry the trendiest styles.

Learn More About Old Town Chicago’s History

August 12, 2020 | By Luxury Living Chicago Team
Reading Time: 3 Minutes

With over 10 years of experience helping our clients find the perfect apartment or home in Chicago, we can say confidently it is one of the best cities to live in the country!

Old Town is one of Chicago’s most historically rich and lively areas and is home to some of the city’s oldest buildings. We have the inside scoop on the history of Old Town, so read below to find out the details!

Old Town Chicago’s Beginnings

The Old Town neighborhood began receiving German-Catholic settlers in the 1850’s. The immigrants began farming cabbage, potatoes, and celery in the area, earning it the nickname “the cabbage patch,” which stuck until the early 1900’s.

Old Town is one of the only areas in Chicago to have a building that survived the Great Chicago Fire, St. Michael’s Church. One interesting fact about is that within the Old Town Triangle, the streets do not adhere to the Chicago street grid system as they predate the Chicago Fire.

In the 1920’s, artist’s Sol Kogen and Edgar Miller bought and updated a house in the area and turned it into the Carl Street Studios. During the 1930’s, this area became an artist’s colony as many artists began moving to the neighborhood.

The neighborhood also played a part in World War II. The triangle, which is formed by North Avenue, Clark Street, and Ogden Avenue, were a neighborhood defense unit during the war, designated by Chicago’s Civil Defense Agency. After the war, the area was known as “North Town” and began hosting art fairs called “Old Town Holiday.” Old Town was eventually picked up as the name for the neighborhood.

Old Town is now a lively and fun neighborhood in Chicago with some of the best restaurants, shops, and nightlife in the entire city. Home to the world-renowned The Second City comedy club, this area is now one of the top locations in the country to see comedy shows and many of their actors go on to star on Saturday Night Live.

Old Town Chicago Must-See Landmarks

Old Town Chicago is filled with many historical landmarks and buildings. Take an afternoon and walk around to get a taste of this rich historic area.

St Michael’s church was built in 1869 and is one of only seven buildings to survive the Chicago fire. It now stands as a functioning church but also welcomes everyone to see the beautiful and historic architecture.

Yondorf Block and Hall is a historical landmark and an architectural must-see. Built in 1887 on North Avenue in a Victorian-Gothic Style, this classic building was originally home to a grocery store. After the depression, ownership of the building was struggling and it bounced back and force between a liquor store and wine cellar to being discussed for demolition. Luckily the building still survives and the Steppenwolf Theatre now owns it and uses it as a rehearsal space.

Check out the former artist’s colonies at Carl Street Studios. The buildings have extremely interesting architecture and building design, with some art even built into the individual bricks. It’s definitely worth taking an up-close look at these interesting and historical buildings within the Old Town neighborhood.

The Schmidt Metzgerei building is a former German butchery which now functions as a law firm. This building is worth visiting because it is a likely example of what many of the buildings in Old Town looked like when the area was primarily German settlers.

Don’t forget to stop by the classic Old Town gate on Wells and North Avenue. It’s a must-see and is the perfect photo opportunity to end your tour.
