Chicago – Lincoln Park
An urbanite’s solution to the “burbs” with tremendous neighborhood appeal that is literally butted next to downtown but filled with parks, tree-lined streets, yards, the zoo and some of the best schools, restaurants and boutiques Chicago has to offer. If a single family home isn’t within your budget, there are plenty of great condo options from classic vintage with character to ultra-modern new construction in smaller 2-flats to mid-rises and a few scattered high rises.
