You’d be hard-pressed to find a section of Chicago that has undergone more transformation than the West Loop. In the 1800s, warehouses and factories that supplied jobs to immigrants adorned the landscape. Today, many of those spaces have been converted into trendy apartments and award-winning restaurants.
From the amazing Restaurant Row (with staples like Girl & The Goat) to Fulton Market (with trendy spaces like Momotaro), West Loop, Chicago represents every foodie’s dream. There are also hundreds of acres of medical facilities in the area, a few parks, such as Union Park, and access to multiple highways as well as the Green and Pink train lines.
Overall, the West Loop is a wonderful place to eat, drink, be entertained — and live in.
