Browse Luxury Fulton Market Apartments in Chicago

Nestled next to the West Loop and River North neighborhoods, Fulton Market is known to both Chicagoans and visitors alike as a hub of culture, food, trends and, more recently, magnificent high-rise buildings. As this area continues to grow, more apartment options that keep you close to the action are proliferating; there’s never been a better time to consider moving to this bustling part of town.

While Fulton Market is currently associated with luxury, its roots are much less glamorous.

The History of Fulton Market

Today, Fulton Street is dotted with new restaurants and luxury high-rise hotels. Historically, however, this area was a meat-packing district: home to the Fulton Street Wholesale Market Company, Fulton was once teeming with wholesale and local meat vendors, who supplied meat and other food products to many businesses from the city. The neighborhood modernized over time, but continued primarily as an industrial area – not a place people were drawn to live.

That started to change when Oprah opened Harpo Studios at Randolph and May streets in 1989. According to WTTW, Chicagoans see this as a catalyst for change in the neighborhood; many restaurants soon followed and the area continued to transform into the cultural center it is today. Although some meatpacking wholesalers remain!

It’s always helpful to know the history of your city and neighborhood, as it can help you contextualize and appreciate where it is today.
