The overview
Streeterville is the polished slice of downtown wedged between the Magnificent Mile and the lake. Navy Pier, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and Northwestern's medical campus anchor it, and the streets turn quiet and residential at night despite being minutes from everything.
For renters it's about the views and the walkability: floor-to-ceiling lake and skyline vistas, doorman towers with full amenity floors, and Michigan Avenue shopping downstairs. It's a favorite for medical staff, grad students, and anyone who wants the lake out the window.
