Lincoln Square population is about 44,000 people and is located at the intersection of Lawrence, Western and Lincoln Avenues. The area just south of Lincoln has so many fine restaurants and was known for its German influence. Now it is a melting pot of everything and many people want to live in this area.

I really enjoyed the Lincoln Square Folk and Roots Festival in the last few years and recommend it for great food, music, dancing and all around fun. The Square Roots festival is great too and worth a trip to Chicago to experience this.

Lincoln Square is the home to the Old Town School of Folk music and is legendary in Chicago and the United States. They offer music lessons and concerts in the most wonderful sounds auditorium I have ever heard or seen. It was founded by Win Strake and Frank Hamilton in 1957.

To name a few performers who have played The Old Town School of Folk would take forever but a little name dropping is, gone but not forgotten, Pete Seeger, Mahalia Jackson, Jimmy Driftwood, Big Bill Broonzy, and Josh White. I saw one of Levon Helms last concerts he ever played with Donald Fagen a couple of years ago before Levon passed. In case you did not know Levon Helm was a founding member of "The Band" and Donald Fagen is half of Steely Dan.

Good morning, Noah -- Lincoln Square looks like a densely populated location - correct?  Real estate activity as well as a vibrant lifestyle indicate this is a popular place.

I think it is so important for an agent to know what is going on in their market. What is more important is the ability to share that information with the consumer in a way that is meaningful to them.

Great Post with helpful information.

John thank you

Michael, you are right but it is really nice. It is right in the middle of a very large Chicago area and a sweet spot. The people, the music, food and shops are really nice. All different types of folks, you would love it.

John, I appreciate the kind words.

Hi Noah... Lincoln Square has always been an exciting place to live and visit. I hung out there a lot as a teenager. Public transportation is easy to get around the Lincoln Square too. It has been years since I was there but you bring it all back to life with your map and great informative post!

Thanks, Noah, for telling us about Lincoln Square. Families that are relocating to the area will love your community reports. You need to write a blog about the Folk Music school.

Hi Noah - Nice market report. I know Lincoln Square well - our son and daughter-in-law used to live there, right in the middle of everything, and it was a fun place to visit. They still own their condo there as a rental.

Good morning Noah. That is a lot of people is that small an area. Hopefully there is enough inventory to handle the demand and someone as knowledgeable to handle the needs of the buyers and sellers.
