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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
