West Loop
Perfect for
Living in West Loop
West Loop is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the city. It’s full of modern high-rises, converted lofts, and some of the best restaurants in Chicago, especially around Fulton Market. Plus, going out on Randolph Street is insanely popular with a ton of bars stacked up next to each other. Pricing here is usually pretty steep, but you’re getting a super walkable area with easy access to the Loop, a TON of the best bars & restaurants and a strong mix of newer buildings and older units with more character. Union Park is nearby and hosts events like ARC Music Festival, which brings in a big crowd every summer. Street parking is rough and weekends get busy, but if you’re into good food, city energy, and modern spaces, West Loop holds up.
River West is also over this way, just north of West Loop. This neighborhood is home to a few high rises, Gangnam Market and easy access to the Blue Line which can get you to Wicker Park, Logan Square & the Loop very easy. This neighborhood is great for commuters, and pricing typically isn’t as high as West Loop. You get the perks of being a short walk to all things West Loop without paying the West Loop prices.
