2501-05 Lincoln

Lincoln Park Locally known as both a walker's and biker's paradise, along with having excellent public transportation options, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's most accessible and enjoyable community areas. Historically a post for the United States Army during the Civil War, Lincoln Park later become a place of refuge for many Kashubian immigrants, and has even hosted many political conventions and protests over the years. Nowadays, it is one of the chicest and foremost of all neighborhoods in the city, with innovative fine-dining establishments, museums, art galleries, and all types of boutiques and local shops. Residents who enjoy the outdoors will love living so close to Lake Michigan, the immense green space along the shore, and the many cultural institutions nearby. Within proximity of both Lakeshore Drive and the Kennedy Expressway, it is so easy to explore the rest of the city or visit loved ones in the suburbs. Also home to some of the city's best educational institutions, Lincoln Park is as much of a home for introverts as it is to extroverts.
