Lincoln Park is a hodgepodge of down to earth business, bustling nightlife, shopping, tree lined streets, resale shops, and some of the oldest, most well known restaurants to native Chicagoans. With access from Lake Michigan to the Park, and a variety of things in between, Lincoln Park can be considered a community in and of itself. It hosts the Lincoln Park Zoo, Fullerton Beach, the DePaul University campus, and a number of art house movie and improv theaters. The homes range from stately mansions and restored Victorian flats to contemporary town houses and condominiums. With its pubs, summer street fairs, theater, bike trails, and historic buildings, it is a constant attraction to all. Lincoln Park is also home to some of Chicago’s oldest and most well respected blues clubs, and a music scene that features anything from live reggae to opera. There are photography and art exhibits courtesy of students at DePaul, as well as the local art community. Parking can be difficult but cabs are abundant and public transportation readily available. Lincoln Park is practically a city in itself providing all the comforts and amenities of urban life, with a more classic flavor and peaceful nature.
