An upscale and very desirable residential Chicago neighborhood that boasts restaurants of every cuisine, a lively theater district, blues and dance clubs, and plentiful shopping, Lincoln Park is bounded by Diversey Parkway on the north, on the west by Clybourn Avenue, on the south by North Avenue, and on the east by Lincoln Park, the public park for which the neighborhood was named. Surrounding neighborhoods include Lakeview to the north, Logan Square and West Town to the west, and Near North to the south. Lincoln Park covers six square miles and has a population of 64,320 (2000).
There are a variety of housing options from which to choose. These include modern townhomes and condominiums, Victorian three-flats, walk-ups, a few older mansions, charming row houses and coach homes, and tall high-rises that overlook Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park. There are also historic landmark districts that have their own active community organizations. Housing is very expensive in the area, much more so than in many areas of the city south and north of Lincoln Park.
There are eight public schools in Lincoln Park and several private schools including Francis W. Parker School on Clark Street. Many area students attend Lincoln Park High School. Lincoln Park students score well on standardized tests and have excellent attendance rates.
