Chicago’s Gold Coast

The Chicago Gold Coast is a special neighborhood in Chicago and is something akin to New York’s Upper East Side and London’s Chelsea. Its beautiful streets are lined with stately homes that are mansion-esque in presence. While one could spend hours meandering the streets appreciating the stunning architecture, there is plenty else to do than simply a leisurely architectural tour.

It is, indeed, the most sophisticated neighborhood in terms of quality of house and of lifestyle. In addition to its high quality housing stock, the Gold Coast boasts several other attributes that help to make it one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of the city.

Set upon Lake Michigan, the Gold Coast residents have a short walk to get to the lakeshore. In fact, many enjoy lake views from their homes and apartments. For those not set on the lake however, getting to Lake Michigan is a piece of cake. The Gold Coast shares another of its borders (its northerly one) with Lincoln Park. Residents can enjoy a stroll through a landscape of green, bring their pups to play, take advantage of the sports fields and enjoy the gardens in the summer months.

The Gold Coast residents also have the benefit of quick and easy access to Michigan Avenue and Oak Street, to streets filled with world-class department stores and boutiques. While Gold Coast residents are only a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the heart of Chicago’s shopping district, the Gold Coast maintains a tranquility that is highly appealing considering how dense Chicago has become.

There are many great restaurants in the Gold Coast as well as shops and nightlife. Where Rush and State Streets merge is the heart of the activity. Luxe Bar, Carmine’s Hugo’s Frog Bar, Gibson’s, Tavern on Rush and many other restaurants provide a variety of cuisine and a range of atmospheres, from upscale to low key and from lively to mellow.
