Fulton Market is the neighborhood Chicago didn't see coming. Former meatpacking warehouses now share blocks with Google's regional campus, McDonald's global headquarters, and some of the best restaurants in the country. The residential market has caught up.
High-rises went up fast, and the competition between buildings is real — which is good news for renters who know how to compare. This guide covers the top buildings in detail; for a broader look across the city, see Best Apartments in Chicago.

What Defines Fulton Market
Fulton Market earned its reputation from Restaurant Row. The stretch of Fulton Street between Halsted and Ogden Avenue contains a higher concentration of nationally recognized restaurants per block than almost anywhere else in the country — Girl & the Goat, Au Cheval, The Publican, Duck Duck Goat, and Momotaro among them.
But the neighborhood's residential transformation is about more than dining. Google's Chicago campus, McDonald's global headquarters, and a wave of tech and creative firms settled along Fulton Street over the past decade, creating a live-work dynamic that few Chicago neighborhoods can match.
Fulton Market vs West Loop
The neighborhoods are adjacent and often used interchangeably, but they function differently. West Loop is denser and more established. Fulton Market sits to the north with an industrial-scale character that the newer buildings have worked around rather than erased. Rent in Fulton Market tracks at or slightly above West Loop on average, driven by new construction density and demand from tech employees who want to walk to the office. For a full side-by-side breakdown, see the West Loop vs Fulton Market comparison.
Transit From Fulton Market
The Morgan CTA station on the Green and Pink lines is the neighborhood's primary transit hub at Lake Street and Morgan Avenue. The Clinton station on the same lines is a few blocks east. For Metra commuters, Ogilvie Transportation Center is walkable from the eastern edge of the neighborhood, with service on multiple Union Pacific lines. I-90/94 enters and exits within blocks of every major building on this list.
