Demographics

The density of population in Uptown is twice as high as in the rest of the city. Locals are proud of their diversity – African American community is especially strong, but Asian presence is also quite palpable, especially with all the restaurants of Argyle Street district commonly referred to as Little China or New Saigon. The sense of community and overall friendliness attracts families with children of all ages, not to mention moderate costs of living and prices on rented property.

Entertainment

No other place in Chicago will give you this distinctive out-of-time ambiance. Riviera Theater and Aragon Ballroom open up to the world-class wrestling and boxing matches; the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge plays jazz as it was played right at its birth; Argyle Street ethnic dining spots serve Beijing duck with the century-old traditions you can smell and taste. And when you get tired, just go boating in Montrose Harbor or sunbathing on Montrose Avenue Beach.

Transportation

Walking in Uptown is the most convenient way of getting to your destination – the majority of locals do just that, especially as on the way you meet so many landmarks. Or you could travel by bike – Broadway connects north and south, Lawrence Avenue leads from west to east. But these are not the only ways of getting around Uptown: there are several Red Line stations in the area that work round the clock. Seven bus lines complete the picture.
