Bucktown is a vibrant neighborhood just North of Wicker Park and East of Logan Square.  It is a triangle shape, bound by Bloomingdale Street (1800 North) on the South, Western Avenue to the West, and then the Chicago River running at an angle from 3000 N. Western down to Southport and Courtland.

Recent gentrification has transformed Bucktown from a former working-class residential neighborhood into a hip, urban area full of chic boutiques, galleries and restaurants. Carefully restored workers cottages and residences are now home to artists and young professionals attracted this vibrant area in close proximity to the Loop and easy access via the CTA Blue Line.

Bucktown's name may have originated from the large numbers of goats (bucks) raised by the Polish immigrants that settled here in the 19th century, but today it is home to attractive single family restored mansions and numerous condo/loft developments.
