Printer's Row Apartments

Printer’s Row apartments come in a variety of shapes and sizes, available in studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms.  While the majority of apartment options in Printer’s row are loft apartments, recent development has filled the neighborhood with numerous new luxury apartment buildings with exceptional finishes and first-class amenities.  Since this neighborhood is small and extremely popular with renters, the monthly rents are less reasonable than proximate lofts in the South Loop on the south side of Roosevelt.

This historic neighborhood was once the epicenter of Chicago's printing industry and later the core for the Midwest printing industry. Now, it's a peaceful but thriving neighborhood that residents love for its luxury apartments, lofts for rent and walkability.  Printer’s Row Chicago is a sub-neighborhood at the northern edge of the South Loop and encompasses the Printer’s House Row District which is a National Historic Landmark District.  The geographic parameters of this Chicago neighborhood are commonly defined from Ida B. Wells Drive to the north and Polk Street to the south.

Printer’s Row is a quiet refuge with unmatched proximity to the energy of the Chicago business district, restaurants, shops and the Chicago Loop.  It’s quiet with tree-lined side streets and filled with spectacular architecture in pre-war industrial buildings designed by legendary architects like William Holabird and Daniel Burnham.  There are few neighborhoods that offer the tranquility with the proximity to the heartbeat of the city like Printer’s Row.  From this small neighborhood renters can walk to Chicago lakefront, Monroe Harbor, Soldier Field, Grant Park, Millennium Park.  Printer’s Row is also near some of the finest cultural institutions in Chicago that include the Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Art Institute, The Spertus Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, The Museum Campus which includes the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium.
