Distinctive Housing in Lincoln Park Chicago

The south end of Lincoln Park, toward downtown, is known as Old Town. It contains quiet tree-lined residential streets with some of Chicago's finest and most expensive homes: impressive greystones, brick townhomes; and charming row houses and tucked-away coach homes. Further north are the Wrightwood and Sheffield neighborhoods with a mix of mansions, two-flats, apartments, condos and frame homes.

West of Sheffield Avenue is the DePaul neighborhood, with stately single-family and multiple-unit housing, and original Chicago row houses with richly ornamented Victorian facades. There are also handsomely restored greystones and newer homes designed by the world's top architects.

Over the years, urban dwellers have taken churches, old schools, warehouses, stores and factory buildings and converted them into desirable condos, stores and restaurants. So, the boundaries of Lincoln Park have recently pushed farther west to create the Ranch Triangle neighborhood, an area that hugs Clybourn Avenue.

Background and History of Lincoln Park

The area now known as Lincoln Park in Chicago was still primarily forest with stretches of grassland and occasional quicksand, and was virtually untouched by Europeans as late as the 1820s.

In 1824 the United States Army built a small post near today's Clybourn and Armitage Avenues. Indian settlements existed along Green Bay Trail, now called Clark Street (named after explorer George Rogers Clark), at the current intersection of Halsted Street and Fullerton Avenue.
In 1836, land from North to Fullerton and from the lake to Halsted was inexpensive because the area was considered remote. Therefore, a small pox hospital and the city cemetery were located in Lincoln Park until the 1860s.
In 1837 Chicago was incorporated as a city, and North Avenue was established as its northern boundary. Settlements increased along Green Bay Trail when the government offered land claims and Green Bay Road was widened.
