THE DELGRECO’S NEIGHBORHOOD GUIDE: GOLD COAST

Gold Coast is a luxurious coastal enclave on the city’s near-north side, east of Clark Street between Oak Street and North Boulevard. Nestled between two popular beaches along the famous Magnificent Mile, this exclusive neighborhood offers the very best in high-end shopping and fine dining in the very heart of the city, while retaining a tranquil serenity along its quiet residential streets. Dotted with Michelin-starred restaurants, designer boutiques and impressive architecture, Gold Coast also affords premium access to parks and beaches for outdoor recreation.

Real estate in Gold Coast is often characterized by affluence and prestige. The phenomenal architecture, historic mansions, and elegant townhomes of the neighborhood are usually prized by longstanding residents and well-established families, which can make these properties elusive for interested buyers. However, there are a number of competitively-priced condos and apartments that may be a more accessible way to call Gold Coast home.
