Neighborhoods

Nestled just north of the Magnificent Mile and right by Lake Michigan, Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is an extension of the glitz, glamor and wealth of a city rich with history. The Gold Coast is full of upscale restaurants, high-end lofts, niche boutiques, and award-winning architecture that will make your jaw drop. Chicago's Gold Coast didn’t necessarily get its name from the gorgeous weather like California (though summers by Oak Street Beach are positively rich). Instead, the neighborhood's name comes from the wealth of the Chicago residents who first settled there.

It’s the birthplace of modern American improv, where you’ll find one of the world’s most legendary comedy clubs. We also love Old Town for its vintage charm, beautiful boutiques, and late-night buzz. Insider tips Old Town is home to comedy star-maker The Second City, which introduced the world to Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Key & Peele, John Belushi, Jane Lynch, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and…well, you get the picture. You can catch a live show every night of the week, featuring the city’s top up-and-coming talent. But Second City isn’t the only reason to explore here. This historic neighborhood is a picture-perfect place to shop on-trend boutiques, dine at historic restaurants, and admire homes in one of Chicago’s most luxurious residential districts. Wells Street is the main drag where you’ll find tons of buzzing spots to eat and drink — it’s a popular spot for bar hopping with the younger crowd.
