Lincoln Square
Quality of Life & Community
Lincoln Square is also home to one of our favorite old-timey movie houses, the Davis Theater. A recent restoration of the 100-year-old theatre uncovered much of its former glory, like organ pipes hidden with dry wall and hand-painted ceiling covered by tile. Today, you can catch new releases, cult favorites, vintage films, and more.
Local Amenities
Old World heritage meets modern charm in Lincoln Square. Wander the cobblestone stretch of Lincoln Avenue that’s packed with unique shops (like Merz Apothecary and Gene’s Sausage Shop & Deli) and delicious restaurants (like Artango Bar & Steakhouse and Luella’s Southern Kitchen).
Beyond its German roots, Lincoln Square is also a great spot for local shopping, with an array of independently owned boutiques and specialty shops. For instance, check out toy emporium Timeless Toys and foodie haven The Chopping Block.
Real Estate & Housing
Lincoln Square radiates cozy North Side soul, blending German-rooted heritage with modern flair in charming rowhouses, condos, and fresh luxury builds around vibrant Lincoln Avenue. Catch live music at the Old Town School, sip at beer gardens, browse boutiques, or relax in Winnemac Park. All with effortless Brown Line access.
Medians range $450K–$550K (premium homes easily topping $1M), drawing families and pros who love elite schools, seasonal fests, and proximity to Lakeview's action.
