About Lake View
Lakeview is one of the most popular areas in Chicago. Its slightly less expensive housing prices and close proximity to downtown Chicago make it very attractive to a younger population, with many of its residents under 30. Lakeview is situated on Lake Michigan and is bounded by the Chicago River, Diversey and Irving Park.
With hundreds of retails stores on the east side alone, Lakeview boasts every convenience, including grocery stores, coffee shops, boutique vendors, national retailers, restaurants, bars and entertainment. Lakeview is also home to many smaller neighborhoods, including Armitage, Belmont, Roscoe Village, Graceland West, Southport, Southeast Ravenswood, Belmont Harbor, Boystown and Wrigleyville, home of the Chicago Cubs. With the diversity or neighborhoods in Lakeview, you will find everything from trendy nightclubs and bars, to serene tree-lined residential streets. To suit the housing needs of the diverse population, Lakeview features vintage condos and houses, new home construction and trendy new condo developments.
Public transportation to and from Lakeview is plentiful with many CTA Red, Brown and Purple Line stops, as well as buses on every major street.
