The Gold Coast of Chicago, IL

When I moved to Chicago to be with Andy, he found me a studio apartment within walking distance of Michigan Ave. I was scared to death to ride the trains and wanted to be able to walk where I needed to go. He found me a do-able studio apartment in the Gold Coast. I paid $549 for my little shoebox apartment.

A neighborhood in Chicago just north of the Loop known for extremely ritzy apartments and condos that average the highest rent in the city, not to mention the highest density of BMWs in the city.
