Chicago’s Chinatown neighborhood, located on the near south side of Chicago, centered at Cermak Avenue and Wentworth Avenue, has witnessed a decade or so of bustling growth in the 2010s. A new, strikingly modern branch of the Chicago Public Library has opened in the neighborhood. There is a bevy of new restaurants and businesses and a minor construction boom for new homes and apartments in Chinatown. In addition to the massive number of apartments for rent, Chinatown is a vibrant and robust retail and business district home to some of the best authentic Chinese restaurants, gift shops, Chinese medicine stores, teahouses, and shopping in Chicago. Chinatown's two primary retail sections are along Wentworth Avenue, just south of Cermak, and Chinatown Square, a massive outdoor mall with shops, restaurants, banks, offices, and other retail.
Chinatown Apartments are generally close to these two retail areas, which function as destinations for residents’ everyday necessities. The interiors of Chinatown Chicago apartments vary from contemporary new apartments that can be more costly to vintage apartments for rent that have generally been upgraded and remain more affordable.
