Uptown
Description:
Just north of Wrigleyville and bordered by Lincoln Park and Lake
Michigan, the area known as Uptown comprises several historic
neighborhoods that have seen ongoing renovation in recent years. At the
heart of Uptown is the bustling nexus of Broadway, Lawrence and Racine
avenues, an area known for its nightlife and music venues. With its
dark wood, art deco décor, the famous Green Mill jazz club dates to the
Capone era.
North
of Lawrence along Marine Drive is Margate Park, an enclave of
tree-lined streets and single-family homes, including mansions dating
from the early 1900s. Facing east along Marine Drive, vintage and
modern high-rise condos overlook the park and the lake. The Margate
Park field house and children's playground are popular with area
residents.
A few blocks south along Marine Drive is Buena Park,
an area where some streets have an almost suburban tranquility. A
landmark district of turn-of-the-century Georgian and Prairie School
mansions is surrounded by other single-family homes and vintage
apartment buildings. Townhomes, single-family homes and high-rise
condominium buildings share the stretch of Marine Drive south of
Montrose, all overlooking a public golf course, Montrose Harbor and the
lake.
To the west, Sheridan Park also enjoys historic landmark
designation and includes hundreds of renovated condominiums and
apartments, in addition to large single-family homes on oversized lots.
West Graceland is a pocket of brick and frame single-family homes on
large lots.
