Bucktown Apartment Rentals

The predominate theory is that Bucktown got its name in the early 1800's from its predominantly Polish population's knack for raising goats of whose the male name is buck. These days, Bucktown houses the largest population of artists in the Midwest for those seeking Bucktown apartment rentals, most of whom live in an area called Gallery Point. Bucktown is an ideal neighborhood for the artist in anyone with loft apartments and architecturally interesting walkups and brownstones that have been renovated or restored to their original beauty, in addition to newly constructed walk-ups. All of these options serve as ideal Bucktown apartments. With the combination of quiet residential streets and a dynamic commercial scene, the neighborhood attracts young professionals, yet is still affordable enough for families and students.

 Art galleries, the Bucktown Arts Festival in August, and the Round the Coyote art festival in September which celebrate the neighborhood's creative spirit are set among the 100-year old homes and cobblestone paths and appeal not only to the artists in this area but to residents of the city at large,. Lately, Bucktown has been growing in popularity and attracting a diverse group of residents who enjoy the neighborhood's many hip restaurants, bars, clubs, boutiques, and churches just a short walk from their Bucktown apartments. Transportation is made easy to Bucktown apartment renters with a Blue line El stop located at Damen and North Ave.
