New East Side

Near Eastside is Chicago's newest neighborhood. It's a mixed-use area comprised of full-service luxury condominiums, hotels and office towers, sandwiched between the Chicago River and Millennium Park, with a prime locale right on the lakeshore. The neighborhood is extremely vertical with several residential buildings and hotels topping the 40-story mark. For the most part, Near Eastside caters to single working adults, couples, and young families who enjoy the good life, paired with the convenience of being steps from the lakefront and walking distance to the Loop. The neighborhood is centered about an award-winning, terraced park that encompasses landscaped fountains and flowers, a playground and a kiddie spray pool. Restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops and a couple bars are found along the outer streets. Business and retail are steadily moving into the area as more condominiums are built in the rapidly-growing Near Eastside neighborhood.
