About this Neighborhood

Old Town Triangle is one of Chicago's most storied residential pockets, and the data reflects a neighborhood that's settled rather than emerging. Thirty-eight restaurants land slightly below cohort (z-score -0.68) but the anchors are real: Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern predates the neighborhood's current reputation, Topo Gigio Ristorante delivers red sauce in the old-school mode, and the broader block fills in with supporting cast. The coffee situation is the registered gap — 8 spots, z-score -1.02, a statistically meaningful shortfall — with Starbucks and Elaine's Coffee Call covering the category without covering it well. Seven groceries (z-score -0.45) including Potash Market and Carnival Grocery adequately provision the neighborhood. Ten parks including Bauler Park give Old Town Triangle a green density that suits its residential character. SocialGlue at 72, livabilityAlpha 100, digitalNomadGravity 80. This is a neighborhood that knows what it is.
