Uptown is a wonderfully diverse neighborhood on the lakefront and minutes to downtown I have lived there for 15 years, have wonderful, friendly neighbors and have enjoyed great appreciation of my home's property value. It is an area that continues to appreciate. As a dog owner, I love it particularly for the access to the lakefront, Puptown dog park and Montrose dog beach. There are many fine restaurants and you won't find a better jazz club than the Green Mill.
