Welcome to Chicago
The city of Chicago sits on the shores of Lake Michigan and serves as a global hub for multiple businesses, including transportation, finance, telecommunications, commerce, technology, and industry. Chicago has several major sections, including The Loop, which is the central business district, and the West, South, and North Sides. The North Side has the highest population density of the three areas, while the South side makes up about 60 percent of the total land area. These areas are further split into communities and more than 200 different neighborhoods.
Chicago also has unique architecture. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright once lived in the Oak Park neighborhood, and his designs can be seen all over the city. You'll also find a variety of brick bungalows that were popular in the area beginning in the early 20th century. In downtown Chicago, high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums are prevalent, while the suburbs feature more single-family homes and townhomes. Whatever atmosphere you're looking for, you can certainly find it somewhere in the expanse of Chicago.
