Uptown
Located south of Edgewater and east of Lincoln Square, Uptown is a waterfront Chicago neighborhood brimming with history and diversity. Originally developed as a massive entertainment district, the area was turned into a low-cost housing community during the Great Depression. Through the years, wave upon wave of immigrants resulted in several transformations, making Uptown today a vibrant tapestry of its colorful past and diverse cultural influences.
