Old Town real estate (also known as Old Town Triangle) lies neighbor to Chicago’s superb Lincoln Park community in the northern end of the city. Hinted by its name, one step in Old Town will take a visitor back into history. Narrow cobblestone streets lined with distinctly vintage-style cottages, rowhouses, and townhouses made of both brick and frame contribute to the amiably warm, old-fashioned small-town atmosphere of the neighborhood. A stroll through Old Town beginning at the ornate metal entrance gateway is a unique experience in itself. One may feel small-town vibes contrasted with the big-city proximity suggested by the occasional high-rise building. Breathtaking views of Lake Michigan can be seen throughout the neighborhood. Old Town is known for housing some of Chicago’s most luxurious and finest 19th century Victorian homes, among other dwellings with varying prices starting at the lowest of $50k to the highest of around $5 million.
Old Town holds many exciting possibilities for entertainment. With its walking-distance closeness to Lake Michigan, residents can take part in water activities such as fishing and boating. Chicago’s downtown Loop is also available to Old Town residents. Within the neighborhood itself lie some of Chicago’s finest restaurants, shops, theaters, and clubs. Notable locations include the Steppenwolf Theater and the Second City Comedy Club, home of memorable improvisational comedy. Summertime in Old Town means streets booming with festivals to keep the weekends alive. America’s oldest summer art fair is held every June, with over 250 artists displaying photography, paintings, jewelry, and much more.
