3. 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.

4. Lincoln Park
2
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.

7. 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.

10. Gold Coast
Coining its name for the old money that
has historically taken residence here, Gold
Coast is a great downtown Chicago
neighborhood to live in if you are looking
for stunning views from the early skyscrapers
and vintage architecture that Chicago made
famous. 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.

21. The Loop
As we continue to work our way South,
the Loop is the central point of downtown
Chicago. Its name was derived from the
shape all of the public transit took around
the given area. The Loop is an ideal
neighborhood to live in if you work
downtown and want to avoid the commute.

25. 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.
