Lincoln Square, the area where Lincoln Avenue snakes into the intersection of Western and Lawrence Avenues, is an old German neighborhood that grew during the nineteenth century.
Local residents today enjoy the German street fest that occurs every summer, where the entire neighborhood and people from all over Chicago come to sample the delicious German food and beer. German restaurants, shops, bars, and delis can still be found in the neighborhood, but Lincoln Square caters to all. Walk down the old fashioned square and you'll run into French, Bosnian, Greek, Mexican, Korean, and Thai restaurants among others. Not to mention bakeries, a movie theater. a record store, coffee shops, and a farmer's market on Tuesday mornings during the summer months.
Housing in Lincoln Square is mostly made up of single family homes and two and three flat walkup apartment buildings. However, a growing number of new construction, luxurious condominiums and single family homes have been built in the area as well.
An apartment (American English), flat (British English) or unit (Australian English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building, correctly, on a single level without a stair. Such a building may be called an apartment building, apartment complex, flat complex, block of flats, tower block, high-rise or, occasionally mansion block (in British English), especially if it consists of many apartments for rent. In Scotland, it is called a block of flats or, if it is a traditional sandstone building, a tenement, which has a pejorative connotation elsewhere. Apartments may be owned by an owner/occupier, by leasehold tenure or rented by tenants (two types of housing tenure).In some parts of the world, the word apartment refers to a new purpose-built self-contained residential unit in a building, whereas the word flat means a converted self-contained unit in an older building. An industrial, warehouse, or commercial space converted to an apartment is commonly called a loft, although some modern lofts are built by design. An apartment consisting of the top floor of a high-rise apartment building can be called a penthouse.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/
