Northwest of the Loop, the increasingly popular Lincoln Square is a vibrant neighborhood with a wide variety of housing from single family homes to mid size condo buildings. The main commercial district runs along Lincoln Avenue and is home to many restaurants, bars, shops, coffee houses, and a movie theater. This stretch is also home to the ever popular and expanding Old Town School of Folk Music.

The area has several stops on the brown line and several buses also run to downtown Chicago. Additionally, a metra stop is located nearby just to the east of Lincoln Square. With several parks and the river running through the neighborhood, Lincoln Square is a great option for dog owners and those who like to spend time outside.

Throughout the year, you will find German fests, Chistmas carolers and a tree lighting ceremony over the holidays, concerts in the summer, Easter egg hunts, and all kinds of great events.
