About Uptown
Uptown's golden age came in the 1910s and 1920s, when the Essanay film studio on Argyle Street produced silent movies with Charlie Chaplin and the neighborhood built grand entertainment palaces. The Uptown Theatre, the Aragon Ballroom, the Riviera Theatre and the Green Mill jazz club, once frequented by Al Capone's associates, still stand around Broadway and Lawrence. Argyle Street is known for its Vietnamese and Southeast Asian restaurants, and Graceland Cemetery on the southwest edge holds the graves of many famous Chicagoans. Montrose Beach, Montrose Harbor and the Magic Hedge bird sanctuary sit on the lakefront. The Red Line stops at Lawrence, Argyle, Wilson and Sheridan, and the rebuilt Wilson station opened in 2017.

Uptown Homes & Their Appliances
Uptown has a remarkable mix of housing: Victorian and Queen Anne homes in Sheridan Park and Buena Park, vintage courtyard buildings, brick two- and three-flats, 1960s and 1970s high-rises along Marine Drive and Sheridan Road, and newer mid-rises near the Red Line. Many older apartments have been converted to condos with shared laundry. High-rise units often have compact kitchens and limited laundry space. Some high-rise units have been combined into larger homes.
Local Factors That Affect Appliances in Uptown
Because Uptown includes both vintage walk-ups and lakefront high-rises, appliance setups vary widely. Courtyard condos may have added dishwashers and stacked laundry in tight spaces, while Marine Drive towers rely on building laundry rooms or compact ventless machines. Many older buildings still have gas ranges on old supply lines, so connection checks are sensible during service. Walk-up courtyard buildings also make moving appliances difficult.
On concert nights at the Aragon or Riviera, parking near Broadway and Lawrence disappears. Schedule daytime appointments when possible, and in high-rises, reserve the service elevator and confirm any contractor paperwork your building requires. Marine Drive towers usually have loading docks off the side streets.
