The Gap Condos for Sale

The Gap, a compact neighborhood in Chicago, is steeped in historical significance, with landmark homes predating the 1871 Chicago Fire. The area features a mix of bungalows, greystones, brownstones, and brick Victorian rowhomes, many from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including designs by Frank Lloyd Wright. The densely packed residential streets have an urban feel, with small, low-maintenance yards often enclosed by metal fencing. Modern townhouses and condos are found near the northern end. The Gap is within walking distance of the Chicago White Sox stadium and Lake Michigan, separated only by the Lake Meadows community. Local dining options include Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini Café and Yassa African Restaurant, with Ricobene’s nearby for Chicago-style pizza and breaded steak sandwiches. Weekly errands can be handled at the Lake Meadows Shopping Center. Dunbar Park, at the neighborhood’s northern edge, offers 21 acres of green space, including a reading garden, playground, splash pad, and tennis courts. The 31st Street Beach, 1.5 miles east, provides a sandy retreat with views of the Chicago skyline, a harbor, and waterfront trails. Public transit options include the Metra Red Line and the Orange Line, with bus stops along Michigan and Indiana avenues. The Gap is also a short drive from the South Loop and Chicago Midway International Airport. A $4 billion investment in the nearby Bronzeville Lakefront aims to create a new park, innovation center, mixed-income housing, and retail space by 2026.
