For Chicago visitors and residents, shopping is abundant. The Magnificent Mile runs through its southern tip, with designer boutiques, hotels, and fine cuisine. The John Hancock Center and Water Tower Place claim residence in the Gold Coast. Residents also enjoy beautiful Oak Street Beach and the beachfront parks and pleasures it provides.

Navy Pier, Chicago's number one tourist attraction, is a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike, providing a day's worth of diversions with an amazing ferris wheel, carousel, IMAX theater, dozens of shops and restaurants. Navy Pier also has a wonderful Children's Museum as well as concerts, performances, and events.

With CTA buses on State Street, Clark Street, Michigan Avenue, Division Street and Chicago Avenue, and a CTA Red Line stop at both Grand and Chicago avenues, the area is highly accessible. Taxicabs are plentiful but street parking is not. Many Gold Coast residents prefer not to own a car.

Background and History of Gold Coast

The Gold Coast was an unexceptional neighborhood until 1885, when Potter Palmer, former dry goods merchant and owner of the Palmer House hotel, built a fanciful castle on Lake Shore Drive. Over the next few decades, Chicago's elite gradually migrated from Prairie Avenue to their new home north of the Loop.
