Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's swankiest and most popular neighborhoods, with more bars and restaurants per capita than almost any other neighborhood in Chicago. Lincoln Park is the heart of Chicago’s North Side. The neighborhood has almost anything your heart desires. Houses range from highrise condos to two-and three-flat brownstones to cottages on beautiful tree-lined streets. After more than 30 years of gentrification, you can imagine, there are few, if any, real estate bargains to be found in Lincoln Park.

Lincoln Park is a young and extremely lively neighborhood. There you’ll find restaurants and bars to match any evening’s taste and budget. You’ll see bars and clubs that range from prep to sport to punk to blues; and there’s little you won’t find shopping along Clark Street. (Except readily available parking.)

Lincoln Park’s most obvious attraction is the park itself. The 1,200 acre park has extensive playing fields, picnic areas where ever you can find a place to throw down a blanket, and even a large zoo that boasts free admission.

Lincoln Park is steeped in Chicago History. A fenced-off mausoleum on LaSalle Drive behind the Historical Society, stands as a reminder that Lincoln Park once served as a city cemetery. In fact, before it was called, Lincoln Park, it was named Cemetery Park. Its old name, Cemetery Park, was changed in 1885 to honor the assassinated president. The grave of the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party is marked by a boulder near Clark Street and Wisconsin Street. And the Great Fire of 1871 reached its northernmost extent at roughly Clark and Beldon. Two blocks south at 2221 North Clark Street, now a lawn, stood the garage where the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre took place. And a little known fact, for you trivia buffs, the area from Diversey Avenue north to Ardmore Avenue was constructed completely on landfill.

Although parts of Lincoln Park may seem over populated and congested at times, the area is the preferred place to live for many Chicagoans.
