Focusing on Chicago’s North Side, Seminary Properties and Management, Ltd. provides accommodations to many residents. Seminary Properties and Management, Ltd manages sought-after places, such as the Bucktown neighborhood located west of the Kennedy Expressway along the Chicago River.
The area began as a settlement in the 1830’s as an area where early Polish immigrants raised goats (“bucks”). Residents moved to the area on the Northwestern Plank Road that led to nearby Fort Dearborn. Beginning in 1848, a succession of immigrants followed the Poles, such as the Germans and Russian Jews. Latinos arrived in the 1960s, precursors of later residents of no one nationality.
Bucktown is now a vibrant center of trendy restaurants, galleries, coffee shops, and boutiques. Sited at the junction of Milwaukee, North, and Damen Avenue, Six Corners is especially popular. Benefiting from relatively low crime rates, it includes well-attended swimming pools, basketball courts, and baseball fields. The elevated Bloomington Trail extends for 2.7 miles and connects to a fine park that caters to bicyclists.
