The Chicago neighborhood of the South Loop has been steadily increasing in popularity, driven by its proximity to the
loop as well as the lakefront and Grant Park. Many loft conversions,
luxury new construction buildings and the new Soldier
Field have further broadened the neighborhood's appeal to
visitors and prospective residents alike. Bordered by the lake, Cermak to
the south and Canal Street to the west, the South Loop includes the historic rowhouses of Printer's Row and the Dearborn Park residential development.
Like the Near
South Side, the South Loop is a major player
in the city's residential and business plans for the next decade. This
neighborhood is seriously up-and-coming.
Columbia
College and the School of the Art Institute bring many young
artists and students to the South Loop. Chicago's Museum
Campus is the cultural anchor of the neighborhood and
attracts an abundance of tourists and culture-seekers to see the world
famous Field
Museum & Shedd Aquarium almost every day of the
year.
Transportation in the South Loop is a snap, with
access to Metra, the El Blue, Red, Green and Orange Lines, and CTA busses
on many major streets. The South Loop also has I-90 on its western edge
and I-41 along the lake shore.
