There are many cities in the world that boast of being the best place to live, but few locales can compare with the amenities and lifestyle of living in apartments in downtown Chicago. As the third-largest city in the United States, this location has a lot to offer any potential citizen. As the cornerstone for culture and society in the Midwest, and situated on one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the country (Lake Michigan), there is always something to do in the Windy City.
Chicago is one of the most visited cities in the world and still plays host to one of the busiest international airports as well. Although the local population is booming, as you can imagine tourism is still an ever-growing industry in this expanding metropolis.
For the tourist at heart there is always Navy Pier. With its amusement park feel, Navy Pier is seemingly the Midwestern version of Santa Monica Pier. Complete with an array of carnival food, a 3-D movie theater, one of the world’s largest Ferris wheels, and a hot air balloon ride, there is truly something for everyone here.
Renting one of the apartments in downtown Chicago puts you in close proximity to Navy Pier and all that is has to offer. There are displays of fireworks several times a week, and exclusive theater shows at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. There is even an Asian acrobat performance. In addition, the pier places hosts to many free seasonal shows, concerts and events.
Being situated on the water, Navy Pier also offers a plethora of boat rides and cruises as well. With everything from formal dining cruises that have live entertaining and dancing to exciting speedboat runs through the Lake, you can find a cruise that meets your nautical needs.
Perhaps one of the most unique and certainly one of the largest attractions to Navy Pier is its AeroBalloon. This helium-filled mammoth sphere can lift a total of 17 passengers 35-stories into the sky. From its location, spectators can view a 360-degree panorama of the city and the lake. The balloon may be anchored, but 60-foot diameter ball liberates the hearts and minds of all those who dare to climb aboard.
So, if you considering relocation or even perhaps a vacation jaunt, explore the possibilities of visiting or living in this amazing town. With all that it has to offer, chances are you won’t just be here once, you’ll be back time and time again.
