Uptown, nestled along Lake Michigan, was originally a posh resort area, providing a serene escape from bustling city life. It quickly became a favorite spot for Chicago’s silent film era celebrities, evident in its rich cultural and entertainment scene. Landmarks like the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theater, Uptown Theater, and Green Mill Jazz Club remain iconic and frequently visited.
Only about six miles north of Chicago’s Central Business District, Uptown offers a charming community with tree-lined streets, all while being conveniently close to downtown. It’s situated just north of Lakeview and east of Ravenswood, allowing residents to savor the best of these neighborhoods.
Uptown is primarily residential, featuring six-flats, single-family homes, and courtyard apartment buildings. With Montrose Harbor and the Beach nearby, residents have easy access to the lake and park year-round.
