Chicago’s Wealthiest Neighborhood
The Gold Coast is Chicago’s wealthiest neighborhood, with stores and restaurants catering to a luxury lifestyle. Calling the Gold Coast home, even for a short time, means you have access to high-end shopping, world-class restaurants and the relaxing Oak Street beach.
70 E Walton is located just a short block from the famous Oak Street. Oak Street is Chicago’s Rodeo Drive, with exclusive clothing stores, spas, hair salons, and jewelers.
Oak Street staples include Tessuti, the men’s clothier. Prada, Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent are also found on this prime Gold Coast street.
The Gold Coast also includes the Rush Street district, with its upscale restaurants and cafes. Spots like the 3rd Coast Cafe and Wine Bar, Bistrot Zinc, and the Original House of Pancakes provide a wide selection of fantastic food options in the heart of the Gold Coast.

Frank Lloyd Wright called the Gold Coast home at one time. In fact, Frank Lloyd Write and Louis Sullivan shared the design of the Gold Coast’s Charnley-Persky House.
