Old Town, DePaul and Lincoln Park

DePaul
Willow, Wrightwood, Halsted and Magnolia roughly form the boundaries for the DePaul neighborhood, which takes its name from the University it surrounds. Designated a Chicago landmark district in 1977 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, the Old Town Triangle area offers many restaurants, taverns, bookstores, boutiques, museums, Piper's Alley (a covered shopping mall) and the famed "Second City" (known for its high-quality satirical performances). Also, the "Biograph Theater", as well as many saloons and theaters are located in this area.

Old Town
North Avenue, Lincoln and Halsted form the boundaries of the Old Town Triangle area, where neighborhood housing has been carefully preserved. Renovated Victorian frame cottages, brownstones, and Italianate and Queen Anne style homes are to be found on the charming streets in this area. Residents enjoy an old-fashioned atmosphere with some cobblestoned streets and antique street lamps.

Quiet, tree-lined streets containing Victorian architecture, brownstones and small turn-of-the-century brick apartment buildings make this carefully restored area one of Chicago's most popular. Well-educated professionals as well as many artistic and creative people make their homes here.

Lincoln Square
Lake Michigan on the East, North Avenue on the South, Diversey Parkway to the North and Halsted to the West form the boundaries. Mile-long Lincoln Park with its zoo, hiking and biking trails, beaches, boating, as well as thousands of the fine restaurants, boutiques, theaters, art galleries, concert halls, street fairs and architecture the whole world comes to see make Lincoln Park one of the most exciting in which to live. Since renovation and remodeling began in this area in the 1960's, real estate values have continued to soar, and the demand for homes continues to be high.

Modern highrises overlooking Lincoln Park and the lake, vintage mansions, restored Victorian three-flats and contemporary town houses provide residents with a potpourri of housing options. Close proximity and easy access to the cultural and financial centers of the city add to Lincoln Park's appeal as the "in place" to live.

Shopping along Clark Street and Broadway Avenue (including the Century Shopping Mall) offers many interesting boutiques, gourmet food stores and specialty shops. The numerous stores on Michigan Avenue's "Magnificent Mile" together with the State Street Mall are only minutes away for residents of Lincoln Park. In addition, trendy restaurants and entertainment establishments have sprung up along Halsted Street and Clybourn in recent years.

Old Town, DePaul and Lincoln Park residents are served by Children's Memorial, Northwestern University, St. Joseph, Columbus, Illinois Masonic, Augustana and Grant Hospitals. Students are served by excellent schools: Latin School, Francis Parker, Ogden, Lincoln Park High and DePaul University.

The Chicago Transit Authority buses, elevated and subway trains provide easy transportation to Old Town/DePaul residents and take 15 to 30 minutes to reach the Loop. Driving time to the Loop is 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. O'Hare Airport is 30 minutes away via the Kennedy Expressway.
