Chicago The Loop

Chicago's Millennium Park is a short walk for people who live in The Loop.

  • Chicago boasts some of America's best restaurants, theaters, and public art.
  • The city's downtown financial district is known as The Loop, and includes one of the most expensive real estate markets in the city.
  • The Loop's zipcode 60603 had an average home sale price of $577,500 in 2017.

Chicago's financial district in the downtown area isn't just filled with skyscrapers and office buildings such as the Chicago Stock Exchange - the area known as The Loop is also one of the more bustling and lively areas of the city.

With easy access to Millennium and Grant Park, plenty of theaters, and incredible restaurants, The Loop boasts the city's most expensive residential real estate. For the months of May through August of 2017 Trulia reported that the average sales price of a home in the 60603 zip code was $577,500 - the highest average in the city.

We recently toured the neighborhood to see what 60603 has to offer. Between its rich history - including a 120 year old restaurant and easy access to public works of art - we can see why it's so popular.
