Lakeview

Description:

One of Chicago's oldest neighborhoods, Lakeview blends a variety of urban lifestyles. Belmont Harbor and Diversey Harbor are densely populated areas similar to the Gold Coast and Streeterville farther south. High-rises overlook the lake, while vintage condominiums and apartments lie just west. Many units offer large square footage near the lake, shops and restaurants. The high-energy intersection of Broadway, Clark and Diversey thrives with stores, restaurants and theaters. In central and western Lakeview, the housing stock includes new construction single-family homes and townhomes, vintage apartment buildings and two-flats, lofts and storefront conversions.

The area around Wrigley Field, known as Wrigleyville, is a collection of rehabbed Victorian graystones, two- and three-flat buildings, courtyard apartment buildings and condominiums. Clark Street south of Addison is one of Chicago's best strips for nightlife and restaurants. A few blocks north, one quiet and secluded landmark street-Alta Vista Terrace-is a hidden gem of historic row homes that resemble English Mews houses. Lakeview residents can reach downtown in 15 minutes via Lake Shore Drive or the Red Line and Brown Line 'L' trains.
