Lincoln Park Reviews
Rating 4.36 out of 5 88 reviews
Lincoln Park is a beautiful place to live in - its proximity to the lake and nearby green spaces make it a nature hub within the bustling city of Chicago. It is a cultural hub that offers plenty of opportunities for entertainment and learning. The neighborhood has no shortage of amazing restaurants ranging from small local joints to upscale dining. There is always something to do - attend the farmers market, go thrifting at the many consignment shops, or travel a short distance to the other neighborhoods by foot, bike, or transit. While it is great to live here, it is also wildly expensive. It is classified as one of Chicago's more upscale neighborhoods, and the price reflects this. As does the smaller living spaces for a higher price compared to other neighborhoods. It is also very dense - often creating parking and traffic congestion.
Overall, I have loved living here - close to Wiener's Circle and Wrigley field. It has been a great place to live in my 20s!

Lincoln Park is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. On top of being one of the safest places in the city, it is also filled with nightlife activities and restaurants that everybody enjoys. I attended Lincoln Park High School, which was a great experience. The people in the school and around the neighborhood are so friendly along with a host of social spots I used to go to with my friends. Unlike lots of other neighborhoods in this city, I felt safe for a greater portion of the time I resided here. With attractions like the Lincoln Park Zoo, the bike trail, and a rich collection of architecture from old Chicago culture, it was hard for me not to like it. Overall, for anybody that's a tourist or a Chicagoan who hasn't been to Lincoln Park, I'd advise anybody to take a trip here.
LP is a chic, historical, vibrant neighborhood full of fun and convenience for all ages! The architecture and real estate are incredible, and it's home to some of the best food in the city! LP is on the pricier side, but your money will definitely go to quality food, goods, and experiences! As a long time Lincoln Park student and Chicago Native, I can proudly say that I rep LP pride and that it was an integral part in my key teenage memories!
