Chicago-Kent College of Law Viewbook - (Page 74) More than a third of our students live in four ZIP codes containing several of the city’s most vibrant communities. The West Loop Chicago-Kent’s immediate neighborhood puts desirable housing, bookshops, coffee shops, ethnic restaurants, cafés and public transportation at your doorstep. Many students live in Presidential Towers, a high-rise residential complex just up the street from the law school. Three subway and elevated train (“L”) stops as well as Metra commuter rail and Amtrak stations are within walking distance of our front door. Lincoln Park and Bucktown If you’re into life on Chicago’s lakefront, Lincoln Park is for you. This neighborhood also offers a free, world-class zoo and conservatory, museums, theaters, nightclubs and restaurants for every budget. To the west, Bucktown hosts a dynamic arts and entertainment scene with niche galleries, boutiques, chic nightspots and eateries galore. Lakeview and Roscoe Village Farther north, Lakeview and Roscoe Village feature several “neighborhoods within neighborhoods,” including Boystown, one of the nation’s largest gay communities, and Wrigleyville, home to baseball’s legendary Wrigley Field. River North, Streeterville and the Gold Coast These three areas house many of the city’s major art galleries and tourist attractions, including Navy Pier, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Magnificent Mile shopping district, and Rush Street, famous for its night life.
