Welcome to Southport Corridor
A vibrant neighborhood in the larger Lakeview area, Southport Corridor takes its name from the thriving commercial strip along Southport Ave. It’s bounded on the east and west by Racine Ave and Ashland Ave, and on the south and north by Belmont Ave and Grace St. A portion of the neighborhood overlaps with nearby Wrigleyville.
Southport truly offers everything you could want from city living- proximity to public transportation, an abundance of locally owned boutiques, restaurants, bars and coffee houses, all within walking distance. “Family friendly” is definitely a term that applies to Southport- during the day you’ll find plenty of people walking dogs and pushing strollers. Its prime location and friendly neighborhood feel attract a diverse population: students, young professionals, and families all call Southport home.
About 6 miles north of downtown, Southport Corridor is a great neighborhood if you’re looking for something close to the Loop but with a happy and safe residential feel.
