Chicago’s Gold Coast: Ritzy Neighborhood with Historic Mansions and Upscale Restaurants

Just north of the Loop and along Lake Michigan, the Gold Coast neighborhood occupies some of the city’s most desirable real estate. The area’s reputation as an upscale residential spot dates back to 1882, when wealthy businessmen began building castle-like mansions along the waterfront. You can still see some of these estates along Lake Shore Drive; for example, the International Museum of Surgical Science is housed in a 1917 mansion modeled after a French chateau. The Gold Coast’s stylish legacy still exists in the clothing stores lining North Michigan Avenue, the so-called Magnificent Mile. Walk down nearby Oak Street to find the boutiques of high-end designers like Chanel, Prada, and Hermès.

Those looking for a hip nightlife scene will find trendy restaurants and nightclubs—many of which are open until 5 a.m.—catering to a well-dressed crowd. For people-watching and the occasional celebrity sighting, head to Rush and Division, a see-and-be-seen spot dotted with upscale shops and classic Chicago bars.
