The Loop, Chicago
A Chicago, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what has closed there.
The central business district of Chicago is bounded by Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and Roosevelt Road. Housing consists predominantly of high-rise condominiums and converted historic office towers. The area features a dense grid network, grid street infrastructure, and multiple elevated transit lines.
Homes in The Loop
Residential stock consists exclusively of multi-unit high-rises and mid-rises, including converted historic commercial masonry towers and modern glass condominium buildings. Structures feature integrated parking garages set directly onto a dense commercial grid.
The Loop sits inside Chicago, so the Chicago market report is the right read on prices and pace; the figures beside this are the town's, not the neighborhood's.
