Uptown is where renters choose to live if they love entertainment. Throughout the neighborhood you’ll find everything from walking tours highlighting the hangouts of Chicago gangsters to the city's hottest nightclubs and theaters to the best shops and restaurants around. Uptown Chicago stretches along Lake Michigan and includes the popular summer hotspot Montrose Beach. For those moving to Chicago with a pet, Montrose Dog Beach is also a very popular destination. In winter, Cricket Hill is one of the city's favorite sledding spots.
What is it like to live in Uptown? It’s historic, walkable, and distinctive. Uptown is home to some fantastic landmarks, such as Aragon Ballroom. The ballroom opened in 1926, and legends about secret tunnels and Al Capone abound. During the Big Band era, the ballroom hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Glenn Miller, Lawrence Welk, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington. Today, the theater is still hosting some of the biggest names in music and is often used for filming.
Uptown has been a nightlife hotspot for most of its history and that hasn't changed. Today, the neighborhood hosts concerts and events, such as the Argyle Night Market and Taste of Uptown. Wrigley Field, home to the legendary Chicago Cubs, is just south of Uptown. This pedestrian-friendly neighborhood offers easy access to the "L," especially along North Broadway. If you choose to move to an apartment in Uptown and want to be near a subway station, look along North Broadway near the intersections of Argyle Street, Lawrence Avenue, or Wilson Avenue.

I personally enjoy living in Uptown. There are lots of small businesses and being so close to lake Michigan is the best. I also love the fact that it is so easy to take public transit to and from downtown.

It's a pretty nice neighbor hood. There's alot to do, a lot of stores, a lot of resturants. And the best thing is that it is next to the beach. It's also a 10 minute drive to downtown, sometimes even less depending on traffic.

Uptown is an incredibly diverse neighborhood with great transportation and food options. Some parts of the neighborhood are somewhat rundown but there is a definite influx and revival of culture and the arts that is exciting to witness. Close access to the lakefront and green spaces.

I love uptown because it's very diverse. The neighborhood is very walkable. The only downside is there isn't a lot of available parking.
