West Loop

The former warehouse district of the West Loop is the definition of hip and up-and-coming neighborhoods in Chicago. With trendy lofts and condominiums that attract those who like being located next to downtown without being in the thick of things, the West Loop features a wonderful combination of culture and outdoor life. Here, you’ll find public parks, vast expanses of green, and plentiful recreation options by day and impressive entertainment and dining experiences with celebrity chefs by night. The West Loop’s Union Park is notable for its annual Pitchfork Music Festival, a favorite attraction among locals and out-of-towners alike. By the looks of its fine galleries, noteworthy cultural experiences, and exceptional cuisine, you’d never know that the West Loop was originally a meat-packing district. Now home to Michelin-rated restaurants, Google and McDonald’s Headquarters, with its industrial vibes and easy access to public transit is one of Chicago’s most highly sought-after neighborhoods.
