The Loop is the hottest market in the U.S. – sorry Gold Coast

So the day has finally come when it’s a good thing to live in the Loop and a not-as-good-thing to live on the Gold Coast. Why? Well according to Forbes magazine, the Loop is the fastest-appreciating real estate market in the U.S. and the Near North is the third slowest.

We’ve suspected for a while that the Loop was pretty hot. Buyers wanting in on the action still have plenty to choose from in projects like The Legacy at Millennium Park and the high-rises that keep coming down the pipeline at Lakeshore East.
