River West is an outgrowth of River North that offers more residential options than its parent. As befits its industrial past, housing in River West is likely to mean lofts. This is a booming area where home prices are rising rapidly, just what you’d expect from a neighborhood with great atmosphere, active nightlife and easy transportation.

Those seemingly modest cottages now go for millions, with many new, larger homes mixed in. Lacking high-rises, Old Town’s streetscape reminds one more of a charming village than a major city. This is another neighborhood where people tend to stay long-term and raise families. Includes Old Town Triangle.
