Other standout areas include River North with its galleries and restaurants, West Loop's Fulton Market district packed with lofts and dining along Randolph Street, Lakeview and Wrigleyville near Wrigley Field with solid CTA connections, Streeterville close to Navy Pier and Northwestern's medical campus, Logan Square's Milwaukee Avenue dining scene and The 606 trail, and Hyde Park home to the Museum of Science and Industry. Finding apartments for rent in Chicago means choosing between lakefront high-rises, classic greystones, or modern townhouses, with the CTA 'L' trains and Metra lines making commutes to the Loop, Fulton Market, and the Illinois Medical District quick and painless—both O'Hare and Midway airports sit right on the train line too.
