Greystones, brownstones and two- and three-flats beside the park itself, the zoo, DePaul and the Armitage and Halsted shops.

About Lincoln Park

The neighborhood is named for the park along its eastern edge, home to the free Lincoln Park Zoo and the Lincoln Park Conservatory. DePaul University sits on its west side, and Armitage Avenue and Halsted Street are lined with shops and restaurants.

The housing is some of Chicago's best-known: greystones and brownstones, row houses, two- and three-flats, newer single-family construction, and condominiums of every age.

Selling in Lincoln Park

In a neighborhood buyers know this well, they arrive with strong opinions about blocks and buildings. How a home is introduced to the market matters, and sometimes that means a private launch to agents and their buyers before it goes public.

Buying in Lincoln Park

Chicago Public Schools assignment depends on the exact address. Check it on the CPS school locator before an offer, not after.
