West Loop

The West Loop of Chicago is one of the fastest growing
neighborhoods in the city. Traditionally a commercial and industrial
area, the West Loop’s residential possibilities were first discovered
by artists who converted the industrial lofts to living spaces and
galleries. Now home to a wide mix of young professionals and other
urbanites, the area retains its edgy feel, and avant-garde galleries
co-exist with upscale restaurants to form the perfect setting for
city living. The West Loop restaurant scene is the hottest in the city.
Randolph Street’s “Restaurant Row” is where you’ll find the latest in
cutting edge cuisine, but traditionalists still flock to Greektown for
their famous flaming cheese. The West Loop is home to two of the
top schools in the Chicago Public Schools system—Skinner Classical
School and Whitney Young High School.
