THE NEIGHBORS
Even with the recently opened Maggie Daley Park drawing families and sprightly souls from all over the city to its interactive Play Garden and Ice Ribbon for playdates, people can find solace in the city here. Copious public green space keeps traffic within and around much of the neighborhood at bay.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Young professionals, families, and empty-nesters all embrace the downtown lifestyle with remarkable garden space.
A coveted village in the heart of the city surrounded by parks, water, and culture in the East Loop.
While Millennium Park, Chicago Riverwalk, Lake Michigan harbors, and Michigan Avenue are premium extensions of New Eastside, the neighborhood is also home to its own secluded 6-acre park, as well as exceptional restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and schools within a modest radius.
THE LIFESTYLE
Uncommon urban serenity in a newly developing downtown community.
With the nearest “L” stop a half-mile away and minimal nightlife destinations, New Eastside is generally more tranquil than other downtown areas. However, dining, shopping, and other amenities can be found within the perimeter, and Michigan Avenue and the Loop are mere steps away.
UNEXPECTED APPEAL
With easy access to Chicago’s intricate pedway system, residents enjoy a hassle-free work commute to the Loop on foot.
Residents favor the neighborhood because it’s intertwined with city life, yet somewhat removed from the throngs of tourists. With pedestrian-dedicated walkways and tunnels, work commuters or anyone wanting to connect with businesses, hotels, and public transit in the Loop can do so expediently.
THE MARKET
Characterized by cutting-edge high-rise condos as well as some contemporary townhomes with brick-and-glass fronts.
The newer residential towers have ultramodern amenities galore; many are energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly by design.
YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH
A less-boisterous, more modernistic pocket within the city.
This well-situated, relatively new downtown community comprises architecturally striking skyscrapers, and since the preferred means of travel within its limits are by foot, your peaceful, contemporary pad with sweeping views makes life here that much grander.
TRANSPORTATION
The New Eastside is easily reached by public transportation, walking, or driving. The neighborhood has car sharing and bike rental options. The area is also serviced by a number of private apartment shuttles. During inclement weather, the New East Side Pedway is a convenient way to travel from the New Eastside to the Loop.
