Lincoln Park's diverse housing options
The majority of Lincoln Park residents are renters, but the housing is very diverse. “You have a mixture of different types of housing,” says broker Millie Rosenbloom with Baird and Warner and longtime Lincoln Park resident. “We have townhomes. We have condos. We have some rentals. I like the mixture.” High-rise apartment complexes and condos overlook the lake. Single-family homes range in style from brick rowhomes and brownstones to Victorians and Italianate houses. There is also some new construction, and some builders will buy two lots to offer bigger homes. “In order to get the zoning to build a bigger house, they’ll either have decks on their garages or their rooftops,” says broker Debra Dobbs with Compass, who has also lived in Lincoln Park for a while.
