Lincoln Park

Located north of downtown, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago’s most sought after and affluent neighborhoods, boasting a seamless blend of rich history and vibrant urban living.

The area transformed over the decades into a thriving residential and cultural hub. Today, the neighborhood is celebrated for its extensive namesake park, which spans over 1,200 acres and includes the renowned Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the oldest zoos in the nation, and one of the few remaining which still offer free admission to its visitors.  Numerous public gardens and scenic lakeside paths in the park offer a respite from the contemporary urban lifestyle on offer in the rest of the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is highly walkable, and features a variety of boutiques, cafés, and restaurants that cater to both the casual stroller and the serious foodie.  Armitage Avenue, Clark Street, and Lincoln Avenue are the main thoroughfares bustling with bars, theaters, culinary hotspots, and live music venues.

The neighborhood offers excellent public transit options, including multiple CTA bus routes and the ‘L’ train, with the Red, Brown, and Purple Lines conveniently connecting residents to downtown Chicago in minutes.  Lincoln Park’s reputation for safety and community-focused living makes it a top choice for those seeking a balanced urban experience, surrounded by both historic charm and modern amenities, while still providing extremely convenient access to Downtown Chicago.
