textfield=Lincoln Park

Located east from the lakefront to Halsted Street and north from North Avenue to Diversey Parkway. Named for the city's largest park, Lincoln Park has a little bit of something for everyone. The park itself boasts an excellent zoo, botanical conservatory, and four of the city's beaches. It is a community of paradoxes, change, and constant movement where turn of the century ivy covered brownstones fall under the shadow of luxury highrises apartments. Settled in the 1850's by German immigrants coming to this country seeking a better way of life, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's oldest communities. Today, it is the area's flashiest of the lakefront neighborhoods, a veritable yuppie mecca.
