About the South Loop area, Dearborn Park & Printer's Row

The South Loop is one of Chicago's greatest success stories, as home buyers have flocked to the area to take advantage of loft spaces in converted warehouse buildings as well as new townhouse and condominium developments. In the past decade, residents have made the former industrial area an exciting destination for new home buyers. Just minutes from the Loop and Lake Michigan, many residents also value the area's proximity to U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. Residents take full advantage of the theater, dining, and nightlife options in both the Loop as well as just across the street from their own front doors.

Those seeking to purchase a home in Dearborn Park can decide among contemporary town homes, high- and mid-rise condominiums, and loft-style spaces, all of which are surrounded by substantial parks, playgrounds, and jogging trails. Swimming pools and tennis courts offer residents additional fitness options within close reach, and add to the feeling that Dearborn Park is truly a community within the heart of the city.

Printer's Row, while situated just to the north of Dearborn Park, is comprised of modern condominiums and loft spaces in historic warehouses and office buildings. Printer's Row hosts an annual book fair that draws booksellers from across the city, and its coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood pubs create a true sense of community despite the fact that home owners live only a few blocks away from the center of the Loop.
