Fulton River District is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Chicago. Close to River North and The Loop, the neighborhood was once home to Chicago’s transportation and warehouse industries. Here, you’ll now find a mix of re-purposed lofts and high-rise apartments just north of West Loop and West Loop Gate. Since this neighborhood was originally used for industrial purposes, residents won’t find much greenery in this area. However, there are extensive restaurant options and easy access to grocery stores.

The Fulton River District neighborhood is home to many Chicago favorites, including Blommer Chocolate Factory (so expect the faint smell of chocolate from time to time). The offices of Fulton Market and The Loop are only a short walk away, and many residents live here for an easy commute.

Neighborhood Life

Residents live in converted loft apartments and newer high-rise buildings. Expect to see professionals rushing to and from work and locals walking to their favorite neighborhood spots. This area comes alive after 5 pm, with many after-work happy hour options and great local nightlife spots. This neighborhood provides all the luxuries of urban living: a short commute to work and nightlife options right outside your doorstep.

Local Hangouts

Residents should take advantage of all of the restaurants and bar options Fulton River District has to offer. Head to St Lou’s assembly for a great meal before heading to its attached bar, Money Gun, for a craft cocktail (or two!). For a traditional Italian dinner, try out Piccolo Sogno; we promise it will be your new favorite. Find the central hub of Fulton River District’s restaurants and bars on the intersection of Grand Avenue, Halsted Street, and Milwaukee Avenue for endless options.

AptAmigo's apartment locator service was an absolute LIFESAVER for my partner and I!! Aptamigo offered to connect me with an expert for free and I didn't think it would be legit. Julia emailed me that night offering to set up a call the next day, I was concerned about how much it would cost me and she assured me it would all be completely free. So she called me the next day and…

I was planning to move from out of state to Chicago and Vanessa at AptAmigo quickly reached out and provided some recommendations. The website was easy to use to learn about different locations and see reviews. Vanessa was always ready to help and acted fast when I made a decision. I’m not sure how she had so much time in her day, but I would highly recommend signing up if you are moving.

I had been looking at apartments in Chicago for months and had no luck finding anything. Then my friend told me that Apt. Amigo really helped her and she referred me to Kristin. It was such a pleasure working with her, she made it such an easy process and I ended up finding an apartment I really liked! Thanks Kristin :)

AptAmigo found me a better place than I could find for myself. They set up my tour and came with to make sure the right questions. Couldn’t recommend more.

David A.Chicago

My boyfriend and I were looking for our first luxury apartment in Chicago and were going to attempt to book tours ourselves, until someone reached out to us from Apt Amigo. Specifically Tiffany and Melissa were AMAZING!! From booking the tours, to the signing process -- all with respectfully staying near our budget. We especially loved the app they used to help us 'favorite'…

Ariana made moving into Chicago from out of state so seamless. I cannot thank her enough for being my proxy as she toured apartments on my behalf and sent recordings of the showings for me to preview as I selected my apartment. Cannot recommend enough AptAmigo and, in particular, Ariana’s services!

Kerry R.Chicago

I was able to find a great apartment unit thanks to agent Dean Lauvina from AptAmigo. Great experience. A couple of highlights: - I did tons of homework myself and toured 10+ units myself; and Dean hooked me up with 4 units. And all 4 units he gave me ended up making top of my short list and I ended up picking one of them. - He and his team showed great professionalism and…

Moving from out of state can be extremely overwhelming with trying to find a place. I luckily got a call from Michael and he was there to help us with everything. Not only did he advise us on all the different neighborhoods in Chicago, he was able to help us find the perfect place (with all boxes checked and there were a lot) He was extremely patient with all of our change of…
