Neighborhood

The Gold Coast is a small but charismatic neighborhood on Chicago’s north side with a reputation for luxury living. Ever since millionaire Potter Palmer moved to the Gold Coast in the late nineteenth century, the area has attracted many of the country’s wealthiest entrepreneurs, athletes, and cultural icons.

Lovers of great dining experiences and world class shopping trips find themselves at home here. Foodies have a variety of Asian restaurants, American eateries, seafood spots, and so much more to choose from—all within walking distance of the area’s major landmarks. The Gold Coast’s Oak Street is a highlight for any shopper, complete with stores from several of the world’s top designers, and Michigan Avenue is also nearby with its 460 shops of tantalizing high-end products.
