Uptown was originally developed as an affluent resort area that served as a tranquil oasis away from the hectic city life. It was a popular destination for movie stars of Chicago’s silent film era, which is evidenced by the numerous destinations for music and the arts. Landmarks like the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theater, Uptown Theater, and Green Mill Jazz Club hold deep historical, architectural, and cultural significance and are still frequented today. Situated roughly six miles North of Chicago’s Central Business District, Uptown offers residents a charming community of tree-lined streets while still being within close proximity to downtown Chicago. Uptown is located just north of Lakeview and east of Ravenswood, which allows residents to enjoy the great qualities these neighborhoods have to offer. Uptown is mostly residential, containing six flats, single-family homes, and courtyard apartment buildings. The nearby Montrose harbor and Montrose beach make lake and park access easy for residents.
