DePaul balances collegiate buzz with classic residential streets, set within Lincoln Park and moments from Old Town and Lakeview. Brick walk-ups and greystones line avenues where coffee shops, record stores, and boutiques cluster along Armitage, Halsted, and Webster. Commuters appreciate the quick hop to downtown via the CTA’s Fullerton Station, served by the Red, Brown, and Purple Lines, and cyclists glide to the lakefront on leafy side streets.
Anchoring the neighborhood is DePaul University, whose Lincoln Park campus adds galleries, lectures, and game days to the local calendar. Art lovers stop into the DePaul Art Museum, while families make a day of it at Lincoln Park Zoo and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Oz Park’s whimsical statues, playgrounds, and athletic fields invite fresh-air breaks; check the Chicago Park District’s page for Oz Park programming. Schools are a strong draw, with options like Oscar Mayer Magnet School and Lincoln Park High School, and neighborhood block clubs keep a friendly, look-out-for-each-other rhythm.
Weekends bring brunch queues, farmers markets, and patio dining that spill onto the sidewalks; evenings lean into theater, music, and cozy corner taverns.
