Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is located on the North side of the Chicago, slightly above the Loop between Diversey and the Lake. People who are not part of the local community tend to concentrate in the area near the Lake, but the heart of the neighborhood is along Fullerton and Halsted. Lincoln Park is just a stone throw away from the downtown – about 20 minutes train ride or a ten minute drive to Kennedy. The village is very well connected both by rail and bus services.

Lincoln Park prides itself to be one the most attractive neighborhoods in Chicago. It not only has elegant houses, but also boasts of great location and view. Lincoln Park draws its name from being ‘the happening place’ from many angles. There are a number of exciting sports to indulge and the beautiful area surrounding it gives a surreal feeling to the residents. The economy in Lincoln Park is fast paced, and one finds to their surprise that you can get anything that you would get in the big cities right there in Lincoln Park. Its fame of being a fun place maybe it is derived from the fact that it is populated mainly by youngsters who have established themselves in the recent years. Being a young community it enjoys life and promotes a culture of healthy economic competitiveness, which gives it its fast pace. The beauty of its locale is owned to the fact that Lincoln Park was almost a century back a multiple amalgamation of orchards. It was in the late 1970s that the Government applied itself to transform this area into a homestead location.

Real estate in Lincoln Park will suit every pocket and definitely every taste. It has apartment buildings as well as condominiums. However, the majority of the houses are apartments of maximum four floors, each consisting of two or three apartments. Another characteristic of Lincoln Park is row houses which have a long attachment of rooms. These are the most expensive. The housing price ranges between $600,000 to $2 million.

Lincoln Park has a great variety of houses available for rent as well. The most favorite and sought after rental properties are the apartments having two to three bedrooms. These range between $1200 to $2500 per month. Most of the se apartments are built in such a way that each has a lake view. This arrangement is actually one of the most attractive parts of Lincoln Park housing lots. The houses are regularly renovated and the outward appearance of the residential areas is exquisite. The only downside here is that most of the buildings do not permit parking.

The Lincoln Park has six hospitals in its area, and as many as eight schools. It also prides itself with the presence of the De Paul University.

For entertainment, there are a few famous parks in the area: the free Lincoln Park Zoo and the Lincoln Park Conservatory, and Oz Park. Besides, the inmates enjoy fishing, swimming, golf course and a great variety of international cuisine. A novelty, Lincoln Park has a Theatre on the Lake.

Humboldt Park Realtor & Humboldt Park Property...

Humboldt Park Real Estate...

Humboldt Park from Ron Knoll/Saffron Realty Group

The great neighborhood of Humboldt Park began life as North Park in the 1860’s shortly after the creation of the West Park System. Located on the Northwest side of Chicago, North Park was soon named in honor in 1869 after Alexander von Humboldt, a famous German Scientist and Explorer. The park area was settled mainly by immigrants of East European descent such as Polish, Italian and German. The demographics of the Humboldt Park neighborhood changed and has become largely Latino and African American today.

As one of Chicago's largest communities with over 60,000 residents, the Humboldt Park community derives its name from and sprawls out over a 207 acre park area. Slow to develop, the settlement and community of Humboldt Park with a large part due to its location and spacious park is now becoming one of the most widely growing and trendy places in the greater Chicago area. Real Estate has turned heads during the past few years as Humboldt Park has become a prime location for the upscale generation.

The neighborhood of Humboldt Park still features many beautiful Colonial and Victorian homes and buildings. As restoration goes on for some of these buildings turning them into the brilliant places they once were, a few are being turned into condos and lofts for residents of this local area. Many modern style homes are being built and put on the market today as well.

The Romanesque style architecture that houses the recreation center at the park, also showcases a man-made pond and is one of the most beautiful and useful parks in Chicago. The park itself include an amazing beach, an outdoor swimming pool, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds, and bike paths. In addition the Humboldt Park also has an assembly area, offers a place for ice skating in winter, numerous picnic areas and a field house with two gyms.

Humboldt Park has always been an interesting community and has many entertainment options. With many small establishments for both entertainment and dining, the neighborhood venues are compromised with diversity of its residents for a unique and individual flair.

Have kids? The Humboldt Park community has a variety of options for education from pre-kindergarten on up thru High School. There are also many private and religion based schools to choose from. The Humboldt Park itself also offers an after school care program that includes music, sports, arts and crafts and also exercise fun.

Speaking of fun, each year, the city hosts the Puerto Rican Peoples Parade in June and the Fiesta Boricua, a Puerto Rican Pride festival, in September. These festivals attract over 160,000 people each year.

Ready to experience the city? The city has a plentiful amount of public transportation options. Hop on the world famous Chicago ‘L’ train. Humboldt Park is supported by the Blue Line train and over 5 different bus routes for ease of travel in this great city.

If you are looking to move to an historic, exciting and rapidly growing neighborhood, Humboldt Park is the place to be!

Chicago City Guide – Things to do in the Windy City
Aside from Blues clubs and deep dish pizza, the city of Chicago offers an enormous selection of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities including an array of family-friendly activities. Here are some of Chicago’s high points.

Sears Tower
The first thing to do in any city is get your bearings; to do that in Chicago, just head towards the Sears Tower. Thanks to state-of-the-art elevators, it’s just a short ride from the ground to the Skydeck located on the 103rd floor, 1,353 feet up in the air. On a clear day, visibility is projected to extend up to 50 miles, an area that encompasses all of downtown Chicago and the greater Chicago area including views into three surrounding states, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. Besides the stunning views, the Skydeck also offers high powered telescopes and interactive exhibits on the architecture of the building and the history of Chicago.

Built in 1973, the tower took only three years to complete with construction costs totaling over $150 million dollars. The high riser, which hosts about 1.5 million visitors per year, has 110 stories and is the tallest building in North America and the second tallest building in the world. On the way down, stop for a bite to eat at one of several restaurants located within Sears Tower, including eateries serving traditional American fares, Italian, Mexican, and an ice cream parlor. For information on hours and prices, visit their website at www.the-skydeck.com

Navy Pier
From Downtown Chicago, head East to the edge of Lake Michigan. There, you will find Navy Pier, a Chicago landmark, built in 1916. Over the years, the pier has served a number of functional and recreational purposes including serving as a training facility for the military in WWI and WWII. Today, Navy Pier is Chicago’s number one destination for family fun. Home to the renowned Chicago Children’s Museum, it also offers entertainment and attractions including a giant Ferris wheel, a carousel, rock climbing walls, miniature golf and an IMAX theater. The pier is also home to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater as well as several other stage areas for performances and concerts. There are boat cruises and an assortment for restaurants and eateries. Down by the water’s edge is Gateway Park, an area for running, biking, rollerblading and picnicking. For a list of all the attractions, visit www.navypier.com.

The Chicago Children’s Museum
Located on the Navy Pier, the Chicago Children’s Museum any kid’s, or adult’s, fantasy learning center. The 57,000 square foot warehouse-like museum offers a wide variety of different educational activities including maze, art projects, science laboratories, flight simulators and even a dinosaur expedition exhibition that lets kids pretend that they are part of a 1997 dig in the Sahara that resulted in the discover of Suchomimus, an important paleontological find, who’s skeleton is on display in the museum.

The museum was founded in 1982 as a small exhibit in the hallways of the Chicago Public Library. Over the years it has grown and expanded in popularity, forcing the museum to continually find bigger and better locations to host their growing number of exhibits. After public funding for the Museum increased, the CCM finally settled into its lake-side home in October of 1995. With more than 500,000 visitors each year, the CCM is not to be missed. Check their website before going as open hours tend to vary. Admission is $7 for children and adults with discounted rates for senior citizens and free family nights on Thursdays from 5-8 in the evening.

Grant Park
Commonly referred to as Chicago’s “front yard,” Grant Park is just a few blocks south of Navy Pier. Chicago’s own little Central Park, Grant Park is a green and calm area amid a big, bustling city. The land was originally set aside in 1835 by a few Chicago citizens who wanted to preserve an open space amid a growing line of skyscrapers. There are plenty of walking and running trails, tennis courts and baseball diamonds. The park is also the home of three Chicago museums, the Art Institute, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Shedd Aquarium.

Bucktown Real Estate

Bucktown Illinois Real Estate
By Julie Farby

Bounded on the North by Fullerton Street, on the South by North Avenue, on the East by the Chicago River, and by Western Avenue on the West, Bucktown is fast becoming one of Chicago’s hottest, most desirable neighborhoods. Likewise with its neighbor to the south, Wicker Park, Bucktown’s increasingly high rents and upscale, new condos “priced well into the six digits” have started to displace the “local artist population in favor of the yuppie crowd.” Yet despite the influx, Bucktown still retains much of its bohemian flavor and remains populated by a diverse mix of artists, young professionals, students, and many others.

Perhaps one of the most frequent questions asked about the community is the origin of the name “Bucktown.” According to the Bucktown Community Organization, “it is believed the term was coined early in the area’s history, probably during the 1830s, since many of the Polish settlers raised goats (the male of which is called a buck) in their backyards.” The Polish people called the area “kozie prery” or “goat prairie,” the legacy of which still remains today. Though the Poles have all but been replaced by a Latin community (which is in turn fleeing Bucktown for cheaper rents), the influence of early Polish immigrants persists in Bucktown’s remarkable, ornate churches.

Latin immigration in the 1960’s brought a new culture to the already cosmopolitan area. During the mid 1970’s, another group of newcomers began trickle into the area, only this time the people could not be put into any ethnic category. “Mostly middle class and native born, they recognized the amenities of Bucktown – affordable housing, both rental and ownership, good transportation, and proximity to the Loop and lakefront activities”—that make Bucktown one of the prime locales in Chicago. Still, a walk “north from the large six-way corner of Damen, Milwaukee, and North Avenue will quickly take you from posh and hip to downright coarse.”

According to the Bucktown Community Organization, remains of the “good old days” can still be found in Bucktown: “cobblestone alleys; streetcar tracks peeking through potholes; a water pump in a yard near Leavitt and McLean; old street numbers in stained glass on Oakley; privy rooms under vaulted sidewalks; and, of course, the beautiful, sturdy century-old buildings.” Clearly, Bucktown’s history is grand, but it is future is just as promising. Small neighborhood bars are found on every corner, and both North and Damen Avenues boast smoky late-night clubs and stylish bars, shops, and restaurants. Bucktown has no shortage of culture—“Gallery Point,” is the area’s central art colony, (bounded by Milwaukee, Damen, Wabansia and North Avenues), and the "Bucktown Arts Fest," continues to attract 30,000 plus art lovers to the area every August, a beloved Bucktown tradition for well over 20 years.

Roscoe Village refers to a neighborhood in the North Side of Chicago, Illinois.

The primary feature of Roscoe Village is Roscoe Street, which bisects the neighborhood's boundaries between Addison Street and Belmont Avenue. Roscoe Street is populated by businesses and residents.

Today the area is home to over 6200 residents.
