on the northwestern boundary of Chicago
proper, and continued to develop through
the 1860s as more people moved to the
Chicago area. Since then, it has only
continued to rise in popularity for Chicago
residents looking for a home with a little
more breathing room than downtown
provides.

3. It’s stood the test of time: you can feel the
history of the place just by walking down
the streets, taking in the stately homes and
looming trees. Land in this neighborhood
not only retained its value throughout the
Great Recession, its value has continued to
steadily rise, which goes to show that the
neighborhood has an equally bright future
ahead. With its many attributes, it’s not hard
to see why people continue to flock to the
neighborhood.

4. Lincoln Park is conveniently located only a mile from downtown
Chicago with the benefit of sitting on Chicago’s famous lakefront.
Lincoln Park provides a neighborhood experience, a sense of
community. Even out-of-towners recognize its appeal and snap up
reservations in the Hotel Lincoln and Airbnb rentals alike.

5. Lincoln Park provides the best of both worlds with its proximity to
the city while still imparting that feeling that there’s plenty of
space for all. It’s a fresh reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the
concrete city, allowing residents to view the city’s beautiful skyline
from the lush haven of Lincoln Park’s copious parks and yards.

6. There’s a misconception that Lincoln Park only houses the
wealthy and affluent, but the truth is that lots of people
from different backgrounds live here. There’s been an influx
of young professionals coming into Lincoln Park to start
their families; and with great schools, beautiful homes, tons
of different parks, and countless family-friendly activities,
who can blame them? The Lincoln Park neighborhood offers
a variety of affordable options for families of all sizes and
incomes, from high-rise condos to single-family homes.

For the history nuts, Chicago has a
rich past, and Lincoln Park is no
exception. The world’s first Ferris
wheel made its debut in Lincoln Park,
for example, and this neighborhood
was also the home of the 1968
Democratic National Convention.
When walking through the beautiful
neighborhood, you can’t help but feel
that you are taking a stroll through
history as you observe the stunning
architecture.

The Lake and Park alone present a
variety of options for activities: the
Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago History
Museum, Nature Museum, Lincoln Park
Conservatory, North Pond, Diversey
Driving Range, Green City Farmers
Market, and a majority of Chicago’s
top beaches. Lincoln Park houses a
fantastic theatre scene, many
excellent live music venues, and
plenty of delicious and acclaimed
restaurants to try. Regardless of your
interests, you’ll never run out of things
to do; it’s more a question of which
one do you do first.
