Bucktown was once a small, almost rural, community of brick cottages and coach houses; now it has evolved into one of the most vibrant and appreciating communities on Chicago's near North and West sides. New Construction Single Family Homes and an ever present inventory of Condos line the streets East of Western Ave (2400W) and North of North Ave (1600N), all beautifully nestled under Bucktown's north-easterly border of the North Branch of the Chicago River. A longtime home to artists and musicians, the Bucktown Neighborhood has quickly evolved into a trendy self-contained sprawl of upscale boutiques and galleries as well as first class entertainment and fine dining restaurants.
The six point intersection of Milwaukee/North/Damen Aves (1600N @ 2000W) has been the backdrop of numberous films that have been shot on-location in Chicago over the years. The Blue Line to O'Hare stop at Damen is the most popular means of transportation to both Downtown and O'Hare. Additional CTA bus service on lines 72, 56, and 50 cover every point on the compass, making Bucktown one of Chicago's most commuter friendly neighborhoods available. Also known for outdoor events, the annual "Walk Around The Coyote" art festival, with its free flowing neighborhood venue, is a nationally recognized Autumn event. Just West of the Lincoln Park Neighborhood and North of the historic Wicker Park Neighborhood, Bucktown continues to be one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the city. Statistics by Zip Code:
