Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is Chicago’s most prestigious neighborhood, rich in historical significance
and artful scenery. This area initially expanded in the 1880’s with Georgian and Romanesque
residences built for wealthy Chicagoans, lending a present day look into the past. Its
residential position near the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan encompasses the city’s
finest shopping, dining and lakefront recreational activities, while its community includes
private houses and architecturally renowned high-rises that are home to Chicago’s most
affluent residents. The Magnificent Mile is the Gold Coast’s shopping mainstay offering
upscale retail, while designer boutiques and jewelry stores are conveniently found on Oak
Street. Also within walking distance are numerous world-class restaurants, museums
and cultural institutions.
