Explore Old Town Triangle

Offering glimpses of what life was like before Chicago blossomed into a cosmopolitan metropolis, Old Town Triangle is a tiny historic neighborhood that embraces an old-fashion character and charm. This triangular area, just north of North Avenue and west of Clark Street, is one of few to have escaped the grid pattern street layout that became standard as the city was rapidly reconstructed after the Great Chicago Fire. Navigating through the looping one-ways and narrow passages, reminiscent of the winding streets of London, is second nature for Old Town Triangle residents. But anyone else shouldn't be surprised to find the nonsensical system of roads a bit perplexing at first. In fact, Old Town Triangle is one of the most sought-after addresses in Chicago. Three- and four-story residences that go for a million dollar-plus are commonplace here and the neighborhood's proximity to both the lake and downtown add to its already irrefutable appeal.
