South Loop
South Loop Living
South Loop offers one of the most unique neighborhood experiences in Chicago. Filled with a diverse landscape, you’ll find sleek high-rise buildings juxtaposed with quintessential family-filled parks. The area continues to evolve and is in the midst of a major transformation with residential construction booming (We see you Nema & 1000M).
The vibrant neighborhood is known for its access to the lakefront, shops, restaurants, parks, Museum Campus and The Loop. Residents also enjoy being in close proximity to Northerly Island and public transportation including the CTA’s Roosevelt station.
The South Loop’s housing boom has brought with it an influx of retailers along with eateries and nightlife on South Michigan Avenue. The Roosevelt Collection is a popular destination featuring a movie theater and an assortment of retailers.
As a South Loop Resident
It feels like I’m in the city, but it’s more friendly & not too much hustle! Also, I love that I’m close to Totto’s Market and Trader Joe’s!” - A.B.
South Loop Style
South Loop offers a diverse selection of homes. From new construction luxury high-rises & apartments to converted factories & warehouses, residents can also find plenty of townhomes and single-family homes. Printer’s Row also offers unique loft conversions.
The Area
Public Transportation: Chicago’s busiest route, the Red Line is great for getting around to the north & south sides of Chicago & for getting into the Loop. 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. Chicago’s longest ‘L’ line & second busiest route, the Blue Line is great for getting anywhere from the Loop to O’hare, Forest Park, UIC & even Jefferson Park. The Green Line is great for getting from Oak Park to the West Side, into the Loop, and then to the South Side, West Englewood and Woodlawn. The city’s newest ‘L’ line, the Pink Line runs from Cicero to Chicago’s downtown. Serving the Southwest Side, the Orange line is great for getting from the Loop to Midway Airport.
Highway Access: Get anywhere you need with access to I-290, I-90 and I-55
Other Perks: Close to the Lake, Lake Shore Drive & Soldier Field (Home of the Chicago Bears)
