A leisurely Sunday-morning stroll is probably the best way to explore this tranquil, well-to-do neighbourhood with a timeless feel, where beautiful houses are fronted by impeccably kept lawns. Nestled between Oak Street and Division Street to the south and Lincoln Park to the north, Gold Coast is the most elegant and expensive residential area in Chicago, which includes the tall buildings on Lake Shore Drive, as well as the quaint Victorian town houses of Astor Street, the district's main thoroughfare.
