Serene parks, leafy blocks, and a historic indoor botanical garden. Historic churches and pretty Victorian row houses.

Home to the area’s namesake park and much of the Lakefront Trail, Lincoln Park brims with activity during the day. There is so much to explore in this picturesque neighborhood – Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the country’s oldest free zoos, plus the Lincoln Park Conservatory, North Avenue Beach, and bountiful museums, from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to the Chicago History Museum. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the Boardwalk, Farm in the Zoo, and Theater on the Lake. And who can forget the boutique shopping and acclaimed food scene?
