When looking across the city, there are some things that folks from Chicago apartments would find it hard to miss, but perhaps none moreso than the Buckingham Fountains. There are few landmarks act as better symbols of the city than this gorgeous fountain, the front door to the city that is Chicago, streaking across the sky in a stunning stream and arch that leaves one in awe. While some visitors may see it as just another water feature, folks from Chicago apartments know that Chicago just wouldn't be the same without this legendary fountain. An apartment near Buckingham Fountain is like having an apartment near the heart of Chicago itself. For such a simple fountain, the structure still holds whimsy for many Americans, especially those with Chicago apartments. Years ago, this fountain sat at the head of the legendary Route 66, a symbol to visitors that either they were beginning their long journey, or that it had finally reached its end. It's been featured in such famous television shows as Married...With Children and The Amazing Race, as has become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city. Today, folks with apartments near the Buckingham Fountain are a lucky bunch, for they are just steps away from one of the most famous, and beautiful spots, in the entire city. When you first look at the Buckingham Fountain, you're sure to be thrown into awe, but when you think about its legacy, you're bound to be left with a smile. With so much history, counterbalanced with so much beauty, finding an apartment near the Buckingham Fountain seems like the best idea in the world.
