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.

Uptown gives you the feeling of living in the city of Chicago without being overwhelmed in comparison to living closer to the downtown area. In the neighborhood there is great diversity which is reflected in the population and businesses present here.

I LOVE THE FEEL OF COMMUNITY, LOVE, AND HELPING EACH OTHER. UPTOWN COMMUNITY COULD BE BETTER ESPECIALLY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SURROUNDING. THE COMMUNITY COULD BE BETTER BECAUSE THERE ARE BUNCH OF HOMELESS PEOPLE LAYING AROUND THE FLOOR; there SHOULD BE A HOME FOR THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE SO THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE SAFE AND GOOD FOR PEOPLE.

Uptown is a nice neighborhood filled with many different cultures and people from different walks of life. There are so many stores and restaurants in this area, so it is easy to get what you need without going far. I love this neighborhood very much, I have been here since I was in the fourth grade.

The spirit of Uptown has a hearty dose of inclusion. Uptown is one of Chicago's most diverse neighborhoods. You'll run into all sorts of people on the street, from different backgrounds, ethnicities, incomes, and ages. It's a true eclectic mishmash of people where all are welcome.
