Oak Street (Chicago)

Street in Chicago, Illinois

Oak Street, Rush Street and Walton Street contain virtually all of the luxury retail in Chicago

Oak Street in Gold Coast, Chicago is known for the highest concentration of luxury stores in the city.

It is adjacent to Michigan Avenue, which was formerly a luxury shopping destination but is currently mass-market. "Oak Street" also refers to the surrounding area including Rush Street and Walton Street as Chicago's upscale retail district.

## Location

[edit]

Oak Street is in Chicago's Gold Coast. It runs from 138 East to 650 West in the Near North Side. It ends without crossing the North Branch of the Chicago River. West of the river, the street changes to Augusta Boulevard. Its eastern end is Michigan Avenue. At this intersection Oak Street becomes East Lake Shore Drive. Two blocks east of this end are famed North Lake Shore Drive, Lakefront Trail, and Oak Street Beach.

## Description

[edit]

Oak Street is Chicago's most prestigious shopping street. Oak Street has a mix of international couture houses, American luxury brands, fashion brands, and local boutiques. It intersects the Michigan Avenue at its east end. Oak Street contains more high end international brands than Michigan Avenue (the Magnificent Mile). Oak Street is much narrower, with trees lining both sides of the block giving a more intimate setting, with less foot traffic. Due to the short length of the street, luxury shops have opened on the parallel Walton St and the intersecting Rush Street.
