As the business and transportation hub of the Midwest, Chicago, Illinois is at once exciting, diverse, scenic and populous. It is the core of a sprawling metropolitan area that caters to more than 9.5 million people in three states. The Chicago Loop is the city's historic heart and soul, a business, residential and entertainment district that is outsized only by New York's Midtown Manhattan.

The Loop graces all of Chicago with its famous skyline, created by a collection of historic high-rise architecture. These impressive buildings are complemented by the presence of shopping and arts destinations and famous outdoor sculptures. Many urbanites who want to stay close to downtown are turning to the West Loop neighborhood for centrally located housing. This increasingly popular community is bounded by Ashland Avenue, the Chicago River, Grand Avenue and Eisenhower Expressway.

Other significant areas of the Chicago Loop include Millennium Park, Printer's Row and the Historic Michigan Boulevard District. Millennium Park is a 24.5-acre urban park featuring a seasonal ice rink, performing arts theaters and pavilions, eating establishments and more. Printer's Row, also called Printing House Row, was once the core of Chicago's publishing industry. Today, it is a residential district comprised of converted lofts and neighborhood merchants; the neighborhood appeals strongly to artists and history enthusiasts. The Michigan Boulevard District has a couple of special designations and serves as the home to several significant buildings. It is also the endpoint of the famous U.S. Route 66.
