STREETERVILLE CONDOS, CHICAGO

Residents of Streeterville condos live in a community that’s not only one of the most desirable in the city, but also one of the most historically interesting in all of Chicago real estate.

Captain George Streeter, a true Chicago original, was a colorful character whose boat ran aground on a sandbar during a storm in the late 1880s just off the Chicago shoreline. Streeter and his wife decided to set up camp on the sand. Trash and silt carried by the waves eventually built up to such an extent that more than 180 acres of landfill was created, which Streeter claimed as an independent territory from Chicago.

Streeter began selling small plots of this land and a shantytown eventually developed. Various legal proceedings and even gun battles took place over the years as City of Chicago officials tried to get rid of Streeter and his fellow residents. It finally happened in the early 1900s. Legend has it that the world-famous John Hancock building at 975 N. Michigan Avenue stands on the site of “Cap” Streeter’s original outpost.

Today, Streeterville is home to some of Chicago’s priciest, most luxurious and most desirable condos. The area boasts upscale stores, restaurants and hotels. Northwestern School of Medicine and the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business are located in Streeterville, along with Navy Pier, Oak Street Beach, the Water Tower, the north end of the Magnificent Mile, cultural attractions, theaters and more.
