Trendy, upscale and a city lover’s paradise, Lincoln Park is one of the hottest areas of Chicago real estate. It’s among the city’s most desirable and talked-about neighborhoods.

Lincoln Park condos range from studio units to full-blown penthouse residences with a view of the lake, the Chicago skyline and all the hustle and bustle that makes up this great community.

One of Chicago’s many lakefront neighborhoods, Lincoln Park is generally regarded as bordered on the north by Diversey Parkway,on the west by the Kennedy Expressway/Damen Avenue, on the south by North Avenue and on the east by the public park of the same name.

Just beyond the park is the ever-popular lakefront recreation path and, of course, the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Attractions in the Lincoln Park neighborhood are many, but none are more popular than the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Biograph Theater where, in 1934, notorious bank robber John Dillinger watched a movie and was shot dead by FBI agents after he exited. The life of Dillinger and scenes with the Biograph came to the big screen in the 2009 movie Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp.

An urban lover will delight at all there is to do, right outside the door of his or her Lincoln Park condo. Restaurants, night life, cultural attractions and upscale shops and boutiques are found throughout the neighborhood. Lincoln Park has virtual non-stop “action.” There’s always something to do, somewhere to go and people to do it all with. It’s no wonder Lincoln Park is one of the main destination communities for professionals moving into the city, as well as Chicagoans looking for something to do.

Lincoln Park is also home to DePaul University, the largest private university in Illinois and one of the 10 largest private universities in the country. The presence of DePaul contributes in no small part to the rhythm and tone of life in Lincoln Park.
