Location
Milieu’s West Loop location is directly across the street from Mary Bartelme Park. It’s within easy walking distance of Loop offices, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Greektown and Randolph Street’s fabled restaurant row.
Shopping. Milieu is just over a block from the popular Mariano’s on Halsted St, and within a few blocks of a Whole Foods. Jewel-Osco, and the French Market at metramarket are nearby.
Dining. There are dozens of restaurants within a few blocks’ radius of Milieu, and many more in nearby Loop and Fulton River District locations.
Greek Islands is just over a block north of Milieu. The popular Meli Café and Artopolis Bakery are around the corner. Many residents are likely to avail themselves of the seemingly endless array of take-out options at the nearby Mariano’s.
Parks, recreation. Milieu is directly across the street from Mary Bartelme Park. The park is popular with dogs and kids, but offers little in the way of active recreational opportunities.
Transportation. Milieu has excellent access to the city’s expressway grid. Metra’s Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station are easily within walking distance.
A number of CTA bus lines criss-cross the area.
The UIC-Halsted Stop on the CTA’s Blue Line, a few short blocks from the building, provides access to points west, to the Loop, to O’Hare Airport and connections to other CTA train lines.
