Neighborhood

Chicago’s West Loop has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting areas to eat, drink, and experience the city's best, so it’s no wonder locals are envious of anyone who gets to call this neighborhood home. Where industrial warehouses once stood, swanky high-rise apartments and condos now provide unbeatable views of the river and the city skyline. West Loop's convenient central location puts renters within walking distance of Downtown, Little Italy, and the Medical District. Numerous bus and rail lines passing through make it easy to commute anywhere in the city.

West Loop locals enjoy a mind-boggling selection of restaurants, bars, specialty grocery stores, art galleries, and performance venues. The mix of modern and classical architecture combined with the various public art installations reflects the neighborhood’s unique historic and creative influences, and a distinctive European flair permeates the whole environment.
