Old Town: Unlike other Chicago neighborhoods, Old Town's primarily chic area resides along Lake Michigan. A familiar tourist attraction, this neighborhood is most noted for its various restaurants, high-class bars, classic American style, and wealthy lifestyle. Although it predominantly maintains Caucasian heritage, the scenery is spontaneous and varies among cultures inhibiting the neighborhood.

Armitage, Halsted, LaSalle, and Division Street border old Town. Right off of the North/Clybourn red line ("el") stop you'll find Japanese, African, Thai, Polish, Cuban, and French cuisines, as well as many others.

Homes vary from $140,000-$450,000. Visitors are attracted by Old Town's fine and dine nightlife.
