Victorian-style homes on sleepy, tree-lined streets stand alongside sleek new apartment buildings. Historic churches with ornate architecture appear right around the corner from art galleries and boutiques. Despite the seemingly random patchwork assemblage of the neighborhood’s people and places, Tremont just works.
Tremont doesn’t follow trends; it starts them, confidently striding between honoring its rich past and refreshing itself to face the future. Young professionals flock to the neighborhood, relishing the urban-but-not-downtown vibe of Tremont’s bars and restaurants — like Edison’s Pub, The South Side and Dante, to name a few — without surrendering such peaceful escapes as Lincoln Park or the nearby Towpath Trail.
Every summer, locals descend to take all of this in during the annual Taste of Tremont, a super-sized block party that showcases all the city loves about Tremont.
