Shopping. Residents at 727 West Madison have excellent grocery shopping options.
Mariano’s is directly across the street to the west and Whole Foods is directly across the street to the north. Jewel-Osco is a half-mile north. There’s a Target half a dozen blocks southwest of the building.
Dining, nightlife. The hot West Loop is an almost indescribably-rich dining and nightlife venue, and the building has good proximity to the best of it.
Randolph Street’s restaurant row, a Chicagoland destination dining spot with dozens of foodie venues, is two short blocks north.
Head in any direction and you may be overwhelmed by the number and variety of local restaurants.
Greektown, just south on Halsted, is largely a tourist draw, but some of the restaurants are definitely worth a visit.
Parks, recreation. The location has limited proximity to public parks and recreational opportunities.
Mary Bartelme Park, a short walk southwest, is a neighborhood favorite for kids and dogs. The park comes up short on active recreational space.
Transportation. Public transportation access is convenient. The building is about a 10-minute walk from CTA Pink and Green Line stops and the CTA Blue Line stop at Halsted.
A CTA bus route on Madison St, just outside the building, travels east into the Loop and west to the United Center. The Halsted St bus connects to the UIC campus and to the Blue Line for transit to O’Hare Airport.
727 West Madison has excellent access to the city’s expressway grid. Taxi and Uber service is readily available along Halsted and Madison. Zipcar car-sharing locations are nearby. A DIVVY bike station on Madison St is steps away from the building.
