Lincoln Park

Considered one of the Windy City’s most desirable neighborhoods in which to live and raise a family, Lincoln Park combines the best of historic charm and modern allure. Tranquil, tree-lined streets highlight rows of brownstone and greystone walkups where families gather and friends reunite. Bordered on the west by the Chicago River and on the east by Lake Michigan, Lincoln Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and beachgoers, with acres of sprawling green space, biking trails, historic gardens, and placid shores that bustle with activity. Upscale boutiques, plentiful fine dining options, dynamic nightlife, and cultural attractions such as museums and a conservatory complement the area’s natural wonders. Meanwhile, family-friendly activities like the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Kovler Sea Lion Pool offer something for everyone — particularly in the summer months, when the area comes alive with farmer’s markets and street festivals. Steeped in history and 19th-century architecture, DePaul University brings youthful vibrancy to the area, where students enjoy lively bars, clubs, indie entertainment, and local hangouts. With its central location near the north side, Lincoln Park makes it easy to get anywhere you need to go — and with top-notch schools and access to public transit options, this neighborhood has it all.
