Expect to find some of the city’s most sought-after luxury high-rise buildings and riverfront townhomes here, along with easy access to shopping on the Magnificent Mile, restaurants, bars, beaches, parks, and entertainment. Like River North, Streeterville is also home to some of downtown Chicago’s most iconic landmarks, including Navy Pier and the Museum of Contemporary Art and of course, Hancock Tower. Streeterville is luxury high-rise central, although there are elegant graystones, brownstones, and boutique buildings sprinkled throughout the district. Most buildings offer luxury amenities that go beyond the obligatory pool and gym and could include a 24-hour doorman, parking attendants, and an array of concierge services that can encompass everything from pet spas to medical concierge services. Whether you want to live near the lake or closer to Michigan Avenue, there is a variety of residential in a range of budgets, from studios and lofts to sleek two-bedroom condos and spacious four-bedroom penthouses and waterfront townhomes. In a city where possibilities are limitless and dreams are realized, there's no better place to call home than on the 77th floor of the Hancock building. So why settle for ordinary when you can embrace the extraordinary? Come, experience the pinnacle of luxury living and elevate your Chicago experience to new heights.
