Is Exhibit On Superior walkable to the Loop?
Reviewed by the Exhibit On Superior leasing team · Updated
Answer
Yes. The Loop is roughly a mile south of Exhibit On Superior — about a 20-minute walk, or one short ride on the Brown Line from the Chicago station toward the Loop. The building sits at 165 W Superior St in River North, with two CTA rail stations within about a half mile. Per Walk Score, the address rates a 99/100 Walk Score (“Walker’s Paradise”), a perfect 100/100 Transit Score (“Rider’s Paradise”), and an 86/100 Bike Score (“Very Bikeable”).
A mile from downtown
A mile puts downtown offices, theaters, and Millennium Park within an easy walk or single transit trip. The walk south from River North into the Loop takes about 20 minutes at a steady pace.
Because the route runs through downtown Chicago, the walk passes shops, cafes, and the Chicago River on the way.
The train alternative
The Brown and Purple Lines at Chicago & Franklin run directly toward the Loop, so a one-stop ride is an option in bad weather. The station sits about two blocks from the building.
The Red Line at Chicago & State, roughly 0.3 miles away, is a second rail option toward downtown.
Is it walkable beyond the Loop?
Yes. River North itself keeps groceries, gyms, parks, and dining within about a half mile of 165 W Superior St, so most daily trips do not require the Loop at all.
Third-party ratings back this up (checked October 2026): Per Walk Score, the address rates a 99/100 Walk Score (“Walker’s Paradise”), a perfect 100/100 Transit Score (“Rider’s Paradise”), and an 86/100 Bike Score (“Very Bikeable”).
Complimentary ground-floor bike storage adds a fast option for the mile downtown when you would rather ride than walk.
What is in the Loop
The Loop holds much of downtown Chicago’s office core, theaters, and Millennium Park, so a mile south covers work, culture, and the lakefront in one direction.
River North’s own gallery district, restaurants, and nightlife fill in the blocks around the building, so residents get a walkable neighborhood plus quick downtown access.
Two CTA rail stations within about a half mile mean the Loop is reachable by train in minutes even when the weather rules out the walk.
For a commute, the roughly one-mile distance means a walk, a bike ride from the free ground-floor storage, or a short train trip are all realistic ways to reach downtown offices.
