If you have to be at the center of it all, Chicago Loop luxury apartment living is for you.

Named for the circle made by Chicago’s elevated CTA trains, more commonly known as the “L”, the “Loop” refers to the entire central business district of Chicago, the nation’s second largest.

Residents of the Loop get the full Chicago experience, from an easy commute to work to the energy of the city streets, plus the ability to move around the city and into the suburbs conveniently via CTA and Metra Rail lines. The Loop packs everything you need and want into close quarters, so you never have to go far.

Besides the extraordinary ease of access to all areas of the city, the Loop offers a great concentration of cultural attractions. The Art Institute of Chicago, the Lyric Opera, the Civic Opera House, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and a collection of theaters presenting Broadway shows all call the Loop home and attract big crowds, especially on weekend evenings.

Grant Park and Millennium Park offer green space, walking paths, access to Chicago’s lakefront and other ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Grant Park is also the site of numerous public events, including Taste of Chicago and a selection of free summer concerts.

Out of town visitors love to take in the city sights on a Chicago River Architecture Tour, which are conducted by boat all summer long.

And of course, the Loop offers its own contenders for dining and nightlife options, many geared to the daytime business crowd and pulling double duty for the theater rush. And the central location makes it easy to access the other Chicago neighborhoods when it’s time to try a new scene.

Luxury apartments in the Chicago Loop area are almost exclusively full-amenity highrises, including both established high-rise communities and new construction in high-profile buildings. Beautiful views of the skyline, river and Lake Michigan, provide opportunities to enjoy the city from a peaceful distance.
