Explore Streeterville

Flanked on one side by the crowded sidewalks of Michigan Avenue and the wide open waters of Lake Michigan on the other, Streeterville is home some of the biggest attractions and most visited sites in Chicago. Shop the Magnificent Mile, ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, get culture at the Museum of Contemporary Art and enjoy the vistas from the 94th-floor Observatory at the John Hancock Center, all within a few blocks from your front door. Residents like the architectural grandeur of this small, near north side Chicago neighborhood which also includes iconoclastic landmarks like the ornate Tribune Tower and the Water Tower Place. For living space, towering condominium high-rises are the norm, offering homeowners a high-end lifestyle with a view. Giving up the height but keeping the luxury, three- and four-story brown- and graystones make up the rest of Streeterville real estate. Needless to say, the neighborhood has the best shopping in Chicago with its Mag Mile retailers and flagship department stores. The Streeterville cuisine is just as sought-after, boasting reservation-required restaurants and more casual, family-friendly joints.
