Bucktown
Located just a few miles northwest of Downtown Chicago, once you select a Bucktown apartment for rent you are leasing in one of Chicago’s most desirable and sought after areas! Its rich history dates back to the 1830s as large numbers of working-class citizens first began to settle in the region. The term Bucktown is derived from the large number of goats raised in the area throughout the 19th century. Over the years, Bucktown morphed from its rural farmland origins to the trendy urban locale it is today.
This stylish neighborhood is essentially comprised of single family homes, two and three flats, newly constructed condos, and converted lofts. Many of these different styles of housing are often available as Bucktown apartment rentals. There are remnants of “old Chicago” scattered throughout the area, as picturesque cobblestone pathways and beautifully restored one hundred year old buildings weave their way through the neighborhood. The exciting three street intersection of Milwaukee, North Avenue and Damen Avenues serve as its primary commercial district, providing Bucktown residents with a host of hip upscale restaurants, trendy boutiques, and an abundance of eclectic and electric nightlife. Moreover, those who choose to live in a Bucktown apartment rental have easy access to the Kennedy expressway and CTA Blue Line and buses.
Whether keen on its one of a kind nightlife, convenient location, or its quiet tree lined side streets, Bucktown prides itself on being the perfect mix of classic and contemporary, seamlessly blending the old with the new, making it one of Chicago’s most popular neighborhoods!
