Bucktown Houses for Sale

Located on Chicago's west side, Bucktown is a neighborhood within the Logan Square community. The neighborhood is located in the Chicago metro area within Cook County, north of Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village. Thought to be named after a male goat (otherwise known as a buck), Bucktown is a gentrified, burgeoning artists' community and home for many young professionals. With approximately 100,000 residents, this primarily residential neighborhood offers a mixture of Gold Coast luxury homes, older single-family houses, new buildings, and converted loft spaces.

The neighborhood sits adjacent to Wicker Park, an equally hip neighborhood to the south, with blurred borders from each community. Bucktown is bounded by the Kennedy Expressway to the east, Rockwell Avenue to the west, North Avenue to the south and West Fullerton Avenue to the north. Readily accessible via the Blue Line El Train and CTA buses, the populace can ride to Chicago's Loop in less than 5 minutes.

Remnants of an older Bucktown still remain with older brick housing stock and cobblestone paths. Damen Avenue is the neighborhood's main thoroughfare, providing a thriving nightlife of posh bars and grungy nightclubs, national retailers and progressive boutiques, while trendy restaurants sit alongside quirky eateries. Chicago's Bucktown offers an ideal home for residents to live, work and play within a bustling, art-infused locale.
