Old Town
Old Town Living
Known for its nightlife, entertainment and old-world feel, Old Town encompasses all of our favorite elements of Chicago. Easily accessible by public transportation, including two CTA train stops and numerous bus routes, the neighborhood also has well-traveled designated bike lanes along Wells Street. And one of our favorite things to do? Take a walk along the tree-lined streets filled with vintage charm.
Old Town holds some of my favorite memories—enjoying countless comedy shows at the world-famous Second City, perusing around the annual Old Town Art Fair and Wells Street Art Festival with clients turned friends, and running the Chicago Marathon through its historic streets.
As an Old Town Resident…
Old Town Style
Home to many of Chicago's Victorian-era buildings, Old Town includes some of the city’s best-preserved historic homes. The neighborhood also offers a mixture of vintage and new construction condos, high-rises and multi-million dollar single-family homes. As the community has edged west in recent years, new development is bringing moderately-priced housing to the area.

The Area
Public Transportation: A fan favorite, the Brown Line runs throughout the Northwest Side, starting in Albany Park into the Loop. Beginning all the way in Chicago’s North Shore suburb, Wilmette, the Purple Line passes through Evanston and into Chicago's North Side, while also extending even further south into the Loop during weekday rush hours.
Highway Access: A bit of a hike, but it’s nothing most couldn’t manage.
Other Perks: Close to the Lake & Lake Shore Drive
