GOLD COAST
Discover Chicago’s Iconic Gold Coast Neighborhood
The Gold Coast is one of Chicago’s most prestigious and historic neighborhoods, known for its architectural elegance, tree-lined streets, and prime location along Lake Michigan. Originally transformed in the late 1800s when millionaire Potter Palmer built his famed mansion on Lake Shore Drive, the area quickly became a magnet for Chicago’s elite.
Today, the Gold Coast seamlessly blends timeless sophistication with modern luxury. The neighborhood features a distinguished mix of stately mansions, historic Greystone row homes, elegant pre-war apartment buildings, and upscale newer high-rises—all within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile, Oak Street Beach, and top-tier dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.
With its rich history, stunning architecture, and unbeatable location, the Gold Coast remains one of Chicago’s most desirable places to live.
