Chicago's iconic business and cultural district, the Loop, has embraced the beauty of balance. Once known as a business hub, the Loop neighborhood has become an increasingly popular place to live, work, and play.
The Loop's evolution began in the 1990s as developers built new high-rises and repurposed office buildings for residential use. Today homebuyers can find a wealth of housing options in the historic center of downtown Chicago. In addition to luxury condominium buildings interspersed among office high rises, the Loop is also home to several large-scale mixed-use developments.
Fine dining, cocktails, and quick bites can be found at the many restaurants and food halls in the area. Shopping includes department stores, specialty shops and three Farmers Markets, or take an easy stroll down the Magnificent Mile. Loop residents also enjoy proximity to Chicago's most iconic landmarks and attractions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Theater District, the Museum Campus, Lake Michigan, Grant Park, Millennium Park, and Navy Pier. Residents also have a front row seat to Chicago's marquee events, such as Chicago Gourmet, the Air and Water Show, and the Chicago Blues Festival.
Residents can enjoy an active lifestyle, whether practicing yoga, ice skating, or running through the parks; boating on Lake Michigan; or biking along the 18.5-mile Lakefront Trail. World-class professional sports and live music are also within easy reach at a variety of local venues and year-round events. The Loop offers unparalleled connectivity, with immediate access to CTA trains and buses, multiple Metra commuter rail lines, and major expressways including I-90/94, I-290, and Lake Shore Drive—making travel throughout Chicago and the broader region seamless.
