Built on land that was once used by the Illinois Central Railroad, Chicago's New Eastside has quickly become one of the city's top neighborhoods. This relatively new community is located just north of Grant Park, south of the Chicago River, east of Michigan Ave and just west of Lake Michigan. Perhaps surprising to some, New Eastside is primarily residential despite its being in the heart of downtown Chicago. And, with New Eastside situated near portions of the Chicago Pedway, getting around the central business district during wintry days is that much easier.
