Glut check: South Loop, by the numbers

60605 ZIP code boundaries, Chicago

See that? That’s the 60605 ZIP code, a region stretching from the Museum Campus to the Chicago River and from Van Buren to 16th Street, with an occasional nook and cranny carved out here and there, and a dog-leg reaching down along the railroad tracks and Calumet Avenue to McCormick Place’s Metra station. That covers most of the area we call the South Loop, a place that was “the hottest neighborhood in the country” as recently as 2007 but now serves as the poster child for condo glut.
