Chicago Real Estate has the most complete online Chicago Neighborhood
section.
Gold Coast
Over the years, the boundaries of this exclusive neighborhood have expanded, so that it now encompasses the area from Michigan Avenue west to LaSalle Street, and North Avenue south to Chicago Avenue. Some say that the Gold Coast got its name from the African coast of the same name, but it also describes the area's wealth.
The Gold Coast is one of the oldest areas in Chicago dating back to 1882. In the late 19th century, prosperous Chicago residents—the ones with the most gold—began moving north along the lakeshore, further inspiring the growing community's label as The Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast is a beautiful, quiet, convenient, and expensive neighborhood where prices are high and steadily rising. Since its beginnings, it remains an elite place to live, the mark of wealth and sophistication. Covering less than two square miles, this exclusive area has some of the city's best and most expensive shopping and restaurants. The Magnificent Mile is a one-mile stretch of tree-lined streets that starts at the Chicago River and runs north to Oak Street. It includes exclusive shops, upscale hotels and fine dining.
This is also a center of tourist attractions, casual eateries, movie theaters and museums. The Water Tower building survived the Great Fire of 1871 and it is now the home to a tourist office and continually changing art exhibits. The John Hancock Center on Michigan Avenue opened in 1970 and was the tallest building in the world at the time. It is a multi-purpose facility with homes, offices and shops.
Some of Chicago's most desirable real estate and historic architecture are found here, much of it by the lake. Almost any type of Chicago architecture is available: modern high-rise condominium buildings, cooperatives, townhouses, brownstones, greystones, and lavish mansions. In this area, most residential properties are one-of-a-kind and have been preserved and designated Chicago Landmarks. Residents along Lake Shore Drive generally have beautiful views across the lake. The Gold Coast has the advantage of a beach right down the block. Oak Street Beach is an ideal area for biking, running, walking or just enjoying the lake.
