Formerly housing a large German population, Lincoln Square is family friendly and suburban-esque. One-fifth of the neighborhood has been designated a historic preservation district and is in no danger of the over-population some of Chicago's other neighborhoods are experiencing. The area’s Lincoln Square apartment rentals consist of private residences and small apartment buildings making it possible to track down the perfect affordable Lincoln Square apartment.
Possessing an "Old World" feel with its historic architecture, tree-lined streets, small shops and eateries, Lincoln Square remains the north-side destination for German delicatessen favorites. Plus the Old Town School of Folk Music, a popular local entertainment venue and music school, brings creativity and culture to the entire area. Behind the busy avenues, however, lie quiet, tree-lined streets of Lincoln Square apartment rentals where close-knit residents gather for events year round in the area's parks, churches and public squares. All events and Lincoln Square apartments are easily accessible by the several Brown line El stops.
