Bucktown/Wicker ParkBucktown is a
neighborhood located in the east of the Logan Square community area in
Chicago northwest of the Loop. It is primarily residential, with a mix
of older single family homes, new builds with edgy architecture, and
converted industrial loft spaces. In the last quarter of the 20th
century, a growing artists' community led directly to widespread
gentrification, which brought in a large population of young
professionals.
Bucktown is directly
north from Wicker Park. There are many bars and restaurants in the
vicinity and a significant amount of shopping on Damen Avenue from North
Avenue (in Wicker Park) going north until Webster Avenue. Bucktown is
readily accessible on the Blue Line.
