Former publishing district next to The Loop
What was once the historic printing and publishing district of the city, Printers Row is now home to unique businesses, college students and those looking to be close to The Loop. With the last remaining printer having closed its doors in 2018, repurposed lofts in historic buildings with plenty of character line the well-maintained streets of Printers Row. “It’s great to see your tax dollars at work,” says Margie Smigel, owner and designated managing broker of The Margie Smigel Group, LLC. “They plow the streets right away, there are beautiful flowers hanging on lampposts.”
Printers Row is known to have the sounds of passing trains reverberating throughout the area.

Printing houses converted to condos
Homes in Printers Row consist of condominiums and revamped lofts, many of which once housed the printing and publishing companies from which the neighborhood gets its name. While the bulk of the buildings were constructed within the first two decades of the 19th century, Printers Row has had “some of the original, New York-style lofts and condo living since the ‘80s,” says Thomas Bezanes, a Compass real estate broker. Most condos sell between $200,000 and $300,000, but buyers can find studios for closer to $100,000. While homeowners tend to stay in the area, the neighborhood is also home to many local college students.
