Lakeview

Welcome to Lakeview

Lakeview sprawls across Chicago’s North Side and is one of the city’s most dynamic and popular communities to live, work, and play. From iconic sports culture to exciting nightlife and scenic lakefront access, Lakeview offers a quintessential Chicago experience for residents of all ages.

Around the Block

Lakeview is home to several beloved sub-areas — including Wrigleyville, Boystown/Northalsted, East Lakeview, Central Lakeview, and the Southport Corridor — each with its own distinct vibe and local favorites. The neighborhood is anchored by Wrigley Field, one of baseball’s most storied stadiums, and bordered to the east by beautiful stretches of Lake Michigan shoreline and parks.

The Neighbors

A compelling mix of residents calls Lakeview home — from young professionals and college students to families and long-time Chicagoans. The area’s lively atmosphere, established communities, and housing variety make it appealing to many different lifestyles.

What to Expect

Expect a neighborhood with lively commercial corridors, eclectic dining, abundant entertainment, and outdoor recreation right at your doorstep. Streets like Broadway, Clark, and Southport offer endless options for food, shopping, and nightlife, while quieter residential blocks provide mature tree-lined streets and classic Chicago architecture.

The Lifestyle

Whether you’re catching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, biking or strolling along the Lakefront Trail, grabbing coffee at a local café, or catching an indie film or show at one of the neighborhood’s historic theaters, Lakeview’s lifestyle supports activity, connection, and discovery.

Unexpected Appeal

Lakeview uniquely balances big-city convenience with close-knit community feel. Just minutes from downtown yet rich with its own cultural events, neighborhood festivals, and local traditions, it’s a locale where spontaneous weekend plans and everyday rituals flourish alike.

The Market

The real estate landscape in Lakeview reflects its diversity — from classic walk-ups and vintage courtyard buildings to modern condos with sweeping lake views, three-flats, and single-family homes. Proximity to transit, parks, and local amenities adds to its long-term demand.
