HISTORY:
Aster House has been renting since 1891 (yes!) and under the present owners since 1982. We've had guests stay as long as 9 years and return as long as for 18 years, so being that well-established and with that kind of loyalty you may be assured of a pleasant stay -- in fact, most of our tenants are referrals or repeats!

ATTRACTIONS
within 1/2 to 2 blocks: restaurants, cafes, pizzerias, bakeries, indie coffee shops, Whole Foods, sports bars, fine and resale shops, a park out back with free tennis courts, theatres, art galleries, museums, diverse music venues, post office, public library, dry cleaners, banks, day spas, hair & nail salons, upscale barbers, a late-night pharmacy, DePaul University. For any late nights or jet lag there are a 24-hour Vietnamese, 5 am pizzerias and a 3 am bakery-- which deliver!

Within 2 - 10 blocks: health clubs, including Chicago's largest, 2 multi-screen movie houses, 2 comedy clubs, Lincoln Park, more pocket parks, several Starbucks, 2 farmers' markets May 1 - Oct 31, the year-round free city zoo and botanical gardens, the lake/Fullerton beach with its 18-mile biking/running path, hospitals,banks and necessities e.g. Best Buy, Target, Trader Joe, Barnes & Noble, TJMaxx, Anthropologie. Wrigley Field is 11 blocks straight up the street.

NEIGHBORHOOD:
Aster House is at 1020 W Altgeld, on a quiet residential street in Lincoln Park, what many feel is Chicago's most desirable downtown neighborhood. Please note that the close proximity to our neighbors necessitates that our tenants be quietly respectful, so we do not accept guests who plan to party here, as they would be asked to leave.

TRANSPORTATION:
We're at a transportation hub! It's 1/2 to 2 blocks to the Fullerton subway/el station (Red, Brown, Purple lines), frequent taxicabs, cruising Uber/Lyft vehicles, 2 city bicycle rental stations and 4 buses. We are 1 mile from Lakeshore Drive and Routes 90/94 for easy vehicle access.
