The Location
Chicago's Old Town survived the Great Chicago Fire and is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Bordered by Division on the south, Armitage on the north, LaSalle Street on the east and Larrabee on the west, it is a community of 19th Century frame and brick cottages, 1900's Victorian row houses, and contemporary single-family homes, townhome communities and condominiums.
The wide sandy beaches at North Avenue are used for both international and local volleyball competitions, an outdoor gym, and by summer sun bathers and swimmers. You can bicycle, walk or jog along the shoreline. Across the bridge is Lincoln Park, home of the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, and the Chicago History Museum.
Wells Street is the gateway to the historic district, well known for the annual Old Town Art Fair and Wells Street Festivals. Second City and Pipers Alley are a few of the highlights of this entertainment district. Restaurants and local pubs add to the festive spirit. Walk the tree-lined streets and enjoy the variety of architecture accented by lush gardens.
The El, subway and bus routes allow for easy transport to downtown. Lake Shore Drive and the expressway are also readily accessible.
