Lincolnwood Apartment Living
Neighborhood Vibe
Lincolnwood is a relatively small and cozy neighborhood. It only covers about 2.5 square miles, but you can find almost anything that you need in Lincolnwood. It's family-friendly and full of hard-working neighbors who care about their tree-lined streets, lovely parks, and community.
Heart of the Neighborhood
Who doesn't love a day of shopping? When you live in Lincolnwood, you have access to the Lincolnwood Town Center, a traditional mall that houses more than 90 shops. Whether you're looking for shirts at Old Navy or kitchen products at Kohl's, you can find a wide variety of shops at the Lincolnwood Town Center. The mall also features an area for kids to play and tons of restaurants. The Bryn Mawr Country Club is a great place to walk the links and practice your swing. Membership offers you 18 holes in a Langford-style course, six tennis courts, an enormous clubhouse complete with event space, and three swimming pools.
What We Love Most
The Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra has been a proud part of the American Music Festivals since 2001. One year before that, this local chamber orchestra won Chamber Ensemble of the Year, awarded by the Illinois Council of Orchestras.
Best Way to Get Around
Lincolnwood is nearby the city of Chicago, located about 12 miles north of downtown. The easiest way to travel is by car. Commuters can easily access the city via I-94 or even US-41, Lake Shore Drive. Public transit is a bit difficult to access; however, there's plenty around. There are two Metra lines, one on either side of town (the Milwaukee District North and Union Pacific Northwest) and the Chicago Transit Authority's blue line train.
Around the Neighborhood
General
The Village of Lincolnwood lies immediately north of Chicago, between the Edens Expressway and the north channel of the Chicago River. It’s a relatively small area, encompassing just two-and-a-half square miles, but it’s chock full of shopping malls, car dealerships, restaurants, and other retail destinations. Better yet, anything not available for purchase in the neighborhood can almost certainly be found nearby.
