Valued for its pedestrian-friendly and culturally-rich qualities.

Bordered by Michigan Avenue, the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, and Millennium Park, New East Side is a residential haven in the middle of a humming metropolis. Chicago’s newest neighborhood boasts modern high-rises with state-of-the-art amenities, comprehensive lake and city views, and green space galore.
What to Expect
Claiming one of the nation’s greatest urban parks as your front yard.
An ample 1,208 acres of green space, the neighborhood’s namesake park hosts a free zoo, theater, nature museum and conservatory, 15-acre pond, five playgrounds, and bustling harbor. Its nearby lakefront trail and beaches are set against a backdrop of downtown skyscrapers.
The Lifestyle
Diverse arts and entertainment met with a buzzing nightlife scene.
Lincoln Park presents a unique mix of bars, restaurants, and entertainment spots. From low-key dives to swanky hotel rooftop bars, the nightlife typically caters to a younger crowd around DePaul’s main campus. Thriving blues clubs and mainstream concert venues, as well as theater at the Steppenwolf and improv at iO Theater, appeal to all demographics.
Unexpected Appeal
A plethora of ways to explore right outside your front door.
Large living quarters at an affordable price point might be hard to come by here, but there are plenty of places within the neighborhood to help stretch your legs. North Pond Nature Sanctuary, park playgrounds, seasonal farmers markets like the Green City Market, big-box stores in Clybourn Corridor, and restaurant patios will all feel like extensions of your home.
The Market
Affordable apartments in vintage brownstones as well as expensive modern condos and revitalized single-family homes.
Loft condos in converted factories and warehouses can be found around the university and beautiful high-rises along the lake offer breathtaking views at high price points. Vintage walk-ups and condos can be more affordable, but prices rapidly escalate for rehabs and new construction.
