Old Town is a great neighborhood for those who want a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, but also want to be near the excitement of the city. Wells Street provides shopping, dining and entertainment while the surrounding streets offer quieter Old Town apartment rentals.
One of the more historic neighborhoods in the city with Victorian-era buildings, it is a unique area because many of the streets and alleys predate the Great Chicago Fire and do not all adhere to a typical Chicago grid pattern. Beautiful brownstone walk-ups that serve as Old Town apartments adorn the streets and sit among the neighborhood churches that also survived the Chicago Fire.
Old Town also houses the world-famous Second City Comedy Club and hosts one of the country's oldest summer art fairs and is just a short walk to North Ave. Beach. Full of shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and clubs, Old Town apartment rentals are in a hip region of the city that inhabits families and young professionals alike. The neighborhood is easily accessible by the Red, Brown, and Purple El lines.
