Bucktown Real Estate for Sale - Chicago, IL

Bucktown is widely known for its hip art scene and trendy urban atmosphere. Home to dozens of art galleries and several art festivals held annually, Bucktown houses more artists than any other region in the Midwest. Bucktown was once home to the working class industrial workers of nearby factories; but since then, these living quarters have carefully been converted into stylish, urban studios, upscale loft residences and modern condominiums for young professionals and local artists alike. The boundaries of Bucktown and Wicker Park are actually so fuzzy that the two neighborhoods are often combined and referred to as the Wicker Park/Bucktown area. However, the official dimensions almost form a triangle-like shape with the Chicago River, Western Avenue and Bloomingdale Avenue acting as the main borderlines.
