A picturesque neighborhood that beckons the affluent with its green spaces, restaurants, and varied architecture
Lincoln Park is a highly desirable community on the North Side of Chicago. From the namesake park to its variety of residential architecture, there are many reasons why people adore Lincoln Park and the homes for sale here. You can feel the area’s rich history as you walk its streets and see its many landmarks. Home to five architecturally significant churches, these monumental sanctuaries breathe a distinct charm into the community.
During the 19th century, the area was home to wealthy residents, German farmers, shopkeepers, and industrial workers. As time progressed, the Great Fire destroyed the majority of structures there. As residents quickly rebuilt their surroundings and livelihoods, the community’s commerce grew immensely, as did its population of European transplants. Yet again, locals were hit with the Great Depression, and Lincoln Park’s housing stock deteriorated.
In the last 25 years, Lincoln Park’s land values increased dramatically; new high-rises were built, old homes were rehabilitated, and single professionals and empty-nesters moved in. The combination of public and private community renewal efforts made this community the high-status neighborhood it is today.
There is something to do and see at every corner of Lincoln Park, and locals take advantage. If you need a break from the city hustle and bustle, you can easily stop at one of the various parks, gardens, or other wide-open green spaces for a peaceful moment of reflection. If you’re feeling landlocked, you can make your way to North Avenue Beach to dip your toes in the Lake Michigan, catch some rays, or play beach volleyball. Shopping sprees, cafe meetups, culinary discoveries, and more — every day in Lincoln Park is an adventure.
Lincoln Park’s dining destinations have seen significant upgrades in the last few years. Start your morning off on the right foot with french toast or a hearty spinach omelet ar Batter and Berries. Situated in the heart of Lincoln Park, just off the pond overlooking the idyllic Chicago skyline, North Pond is an excellent choice for brunch, cocktails, or date night to sample their seasonal tasting menu. You are guaranteed a unique and memorable fine dining experience when dining at Alinea.
Entertainment is abundant in Lincoln Park. Launching the careers of many revered actors, Steppenwolf Theatre presents a broad range of acts across its three stages, ranging from provocative plays to live music. The Greenhouse Theater Center is another beloved multi-stage entertainment center that shows everything from comedies to musical theater performances.
Lincoln Park is the center for cherished local pastimes, featuring a zoo, conservatory, theater, museums, and playgrounds. Check out the Lincoln Park Zoo for a wild experience like no other. Your kids will delight in viewing nearly 200 unique species from around the world, including critically endangered black rhinoceroses and magnificent African lions. Wintertime brings the zoo’s anticipated ZooLights festival, where the zoo is transformed into a shimmering winter wonderland, so don’t miss out!
For a relaxing day trip for you and an exciting one for your kids, stop by Oz Park, a 14.4-acre park with a “The Wizard of Oz” theme, boasting Dorothy’s Playground, a community garden, tennis courts, basketball courts, and ball fields.
