Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park residents have it all – from the arts to its famed zoo – right in their backyard. It’s no wonder the North Side neighborhood is one of the most sought after in the U.S.
The neighborhood includes quiet tree-lined residential blocks, top-rated schools, DePaul University, and two major museums in addition to the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the country’s oldest zoos. There’s also a wide array of entertainment, eateries and hotspots.
An evening in Lincoln Park might include seeing a play at the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre and dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant or a quaint neighborhood café. Sports fans will find as many dive bars with the game on as foodies will find fine-dining restaurants with al-fresco seating.
Lincoln Park is just as delightful by day. The neighborhood is just a walk, jog, or bike ride away from the lakefront and North Avenue Beach; parks; farmers’ markets; festivals; and countless shops, ranging from upscale boutiques on Armitage to larger retailers at the Clybourn Corridor.
Smaller townhomes and vintage condominiums offer homebuyers a more affordable entry into Lincoln Park, but prices rapidly escalate for rehabs and new construction. Buyers around DePaul University can find loft condominiums in converted factories and warehouses. On its eastern edge, Lincoln Park features beautiful vintage brownstones along with high-rises with breathtaking views.
Located just two miles from downtown, Lincoln Park offers residents a quick commute to work. Public transportation abounds, with the CTA’s Brown and Red lines serving the neighborhood in addition to several bus routes and Lake Shore Drive.

“The sale of the house in Chicago is done, and after almost 20 years of ‘battle’, my ‘husband’ (the man I chose to get married to) expressed his appreciation today for a transaction that he is ‘comfortable/happy’ with. Even though I invested my most precious years into getting this burden off my chest, the appreciation goes to you, Leslie from your network who caused the transaction to go through and be final. Thank you.”

Leslie’s calm and supportive presence made it much easier for me to survive the many delays that were out of my control. I am so grateful for your professional recommendations, support and especially her understanding and acknowledgment of my time and energy that was involved with my facilitating all of the repairs, cleaning, packing, purging, etc. Selling a home during divorce is emotionally difficult but having a specialist in divorce real estate made the process much easier.

“My experience with Leslie and Ali was absolutely outstanding! They truly served as a calm in the middle of a storm. Leslie understands the stress that comes along with the divorce/home selling process as she has lived it, and helps both parties navigate the entire journey. The minute they walked through the door, Leslie and Ali provided guidance in terms of preparing the home for sale. The light Leslie and Ali brought helped guide me through a dark and difficult moment In my life. I recommend them to any couple going through a divorce.”

“As a family law attorney, I see so many clients go through the emotional toll when selling the family home. Recently Leslie assisted my client with the sale of the marital home against the backdrop of a highly charged pending divorce matter. Leslie approached the transaction with grace, respect, and most of all kindness to her clients. She provided stellar and compassionate service, while maintaining trust and efficiency for all involved. Leslie was instrumental in helping my client move forward both financially and emotionally. I highly recommend her!”
