Thinking about renting in downtown Chicago?

This SlideShare is going to review the best neighborhoods in Chicago while providing a few recommendations on great apartment buildings starting just North of downtown then working down into the heart of Chicago and its immediate surroundings.

1

Lincoln Park2

Home to historic churches and beautiful brick houses on tree-lined avenues nestled within landmark districts with a park every couple blocks. The quiet residential rows lead to bustling business corridors. Lincoln Park allows residents to live just outside of the city but still close to the action.

Old Town

Old Town is home to Victorian-era cobble stone streets, Chicago brownstones, pristine parks, restaurants, bars and enough nightlife to keep the spirit forever young. Much like Lincoln Park, Old Town’s proximity to downtown lets its residents maintain a homeostasis of the fast-moving city life and the more relaxed, residential lifestyle. One can easily keep that much needed work-life balance in this location.

These buildings are now all side-by-side with newer buildings and high-rises which make for a unique mixture that the Gold Coast is all about.

West Loop

he West Loop is an up-and-coming neighborhood in Chicago. Google has come to town and taken up residence here and they aren’t the only ones that are taking dated factories, gutting them, then making them look and feel like new. The West Loop also boasts “Restaurant Row,” a strip of Randolph Street between Halsted and Ogden Avenue that is home to some of Chicago’s best dining spots.
