Homes in the
Jones College Prep district.

Jones College Prep sits in the heart of the South Loop and historic Printer's Row, one of the most walkable corners of downtown Chicago. This is the old publishing district, where turn-of-the-century brick printing houses like the Franklin Building and the landmark Dearborn Station have been reborn as timber-beam residential lofts, sitting shoulder to shoulder with sleek modern high-rises. You can walk to a real neighborhood feel here: independent bookshops, coffee spots, and the beloved Printers Row Lit Fest that takes over Dearborn Street every June, all steps from the skyscrapers of the Loop.

Transit is a major selling point. The CTA Red Line at Harrison and the Blue Line at LaSalle are both within a short walk, and Metra commuters have quick access to the downtown terminals, so getting anywhere in the city or the suburbs is easy without a car. State Street and Michigan Avenue keep dining, shopping, and nightlife close.

What sets this area apart is the green space and the lakefront. Grant Park, the Museum Campus with the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium, and miles of the Lakefront Trail are all within reach. Housing runs the full range, from character-rich converted lofts with exposed brick and huge windows to full-amenity glass high-rises with skyline and lake views, which makes this a flexible spot for first-time buyers, downsizers, and families alike.
