Neighborhood gems dot the streets along the commercial heart of Lincoln Square at the intersections of Lawrence, Western and Lincoln Avenues

Lincoln square is a major transportation and shopping hub of the north Side with convenient public transportation, easy parking and Lincoln Ave running through it. Shopping includes a mixture of independent and one-of-a-kind businesses.

An Old World heritage meets modern charm in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Small stretches throughout the area still maintain its roots such as a traditional German dining hall and a turn-of-the-century, European-style apothecary. Its heritage of German immigrants is still apparent in the inspired architecture and a few of the dining options. Today, it's a wonderful blend of families and professionals, who take pride in their community.
