One of the most defining features of living in Chicago’s Gold Coast is easy access to the Lakefront Trail. Stretching 18 miles along Lake Michigan, the trail offers a scenic escape for jogging, biking, or simply taking in skyline views. For renters, being within walking distance of this Chicago landmark means blending the best of city living with a direct connection to nature.
If you’re considering the Gold Coast, PPM Apartments offers several properties just steps away from the trail, each with unique features and a prime location.
