Just north of Wrigleyville and bordered by Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan, the area known as Uptown comprises several historic neighborhoods that have seen ongoing renovation in recent years. At the heart of Uptown is the bustling nexus of Broadway, Lawrence and Racine avenues, an area known for its nightlife and music venues. With its dark wood, art deco décor, the famous Green Mill jazz club dates to the Capone era.

North of Lawrence along Marine Drive is Margate Park, an enclave of tree-lined streets and single-family homes, including mansions dating from the early 1900s. Facing east along Marine Drive, vintage and modern high-rise condos overlook the park and the lake. The Margate Park field house and children's playground are popular with area residents.

A few blocks south along Marine Drive is Buena Park, an area where some streets have an almost suburban tranquility. A landmark district of turn-of-the-century Georgian and Prairie School mansions is surrounded by other single-family homes and vintage apartment buildings. Townhomes, single-family homes and high-rise condominium buildings share the stretch of Marine Drive south of Montrose, all overlooking a public golf course, Montrose Harbor and the lake.

To the west, Sheridan Park also enjoys historic landmark designation and includes hundreds of renovated condominiums and apartments, in addition to large single-family homes on oversized lots. West Graceland is a pocket of brick and frame single-family homes on large lots.
