Bucktown is mostly residential, and that's the draw. The shops and restaurants cluster on Damen, Armitage and Milwaukee, so you can get coffee and dinner without living on top of a bar. The 606, an elevated trail built on an old rail line, gives you 2.7 miles of car-free path for running, biking or a slow evening lap. Wicker Park's nightlife is a few blocks south when you want it.
More single-family homes than most neighborhoods this close to downtown: workers cottages, brick two-flats converted to single-family, and a lot of newer construction. You'll also find loft conversions and small condo buildings. Lots are city-sized, so garages, roof decks and finished basements carry real weight in pricing.
The CTA Blue Line stops at Western, on the west side, and at Damen, just over the border in Wicker Park. The Kennedy Expressway forms the east edge, and Metra's Clybourn station sits just across it. Buses run on Damen, Armitage, Fullerton and Western.
I'm Megan Sullivan with Compass. Bucktown is a house market, and house buyers here are picky about layout, light and outdoor space. I'll tell you which features actually move the price and which ones just photograph well.
