Urban oasis in the heart of Chicago
The Regatta is situated in the vibrant New East Side neighborhood, a relatively new development that has quickly become one of Chicago's most desirable areas. At the heart of this community is the 6-acre award-winning Lakeshore East Park, a lush botanical garden featuring fountains, dog parks, and a playground. This green space serves as a central gathering point for residents, hosting various community events throughout the year.
Just steps from the building, residents can access the Chicago Riverwalk, a 1.25-mile promenade along the Chicago River offering walking and biking paths, restaurants, and public art installations. The proximity to Lake Michigan provides endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, from jogging and cycling along the lakefront trail to enjoying the beaches during summer months.
Cultural attractions abound in the area, with Millennium Park and its iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (known as "The Bean") just a short walk away. The nearby Maggie Daley Park offers a variety of recreational activities, including an ice-skating ribbon in winter and a climbing wall in summer.
For dining and shopping, the neighborhood doesn't disappoint. Mariano's, a high-end grocery store, is conveniently located within walking distance. Restaurants like Avli on the Park offer authentic Greek cuisine, while Taco Rio provides a casual Mexican dining experience.
