Chicago Loop Neighborhood Information
The Loop is the heart and center of the Windy City and second largest downtown business district in the United States. It hosts a majority of the city’s government buildings, financial institutions like the Chicago Board of Trade, and hotels in addition to a legendary theatre district, a very nearly as storied shopping destination in the form of The Magnificent Mile, cultural attractions such as the Lyric Opera, the Museum Of Contemporary Art, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and of course the Art Institute of Chicago in addition to just plain sights—including: the sprawling Riverwalk, both Buckingham and Crown Fountain, 25-acres worth of Millennium Park, and of course The Bean. Quirky delis, gourmet bakeries and coffee shops adorn almost every corner and the list of trendy bars, celebrated gastro pubs and Michelin rated restaurants that call Downtown home is simply too long to list here. Buying a home in the Chicago Loop puts residents at the center of all of that and more.
