Welcome to Lake View

Lake View stands as Chicago's most populous community area, offering an unbeatable combination of lakefront living, vibrant nightlife, and diverse housing options. Bordered by Lake Michigan to the east and stretching from Diversey Parkway to Irving Park Road, this North Side community has evolved from a 19th-century suburb into one of Chicago's most desirable urban neighborhoods, featuring iconic attractions like Wrigley Field and the nation's first official gay village.

• Lakeview East:  Lakeview East offers upscale lakefront living with luxury condominiums and higher-rent mid-rise apartments along the Lake Shore Drive and Broadway corridors. The area features boutique condominium buildings, modern lofts, and some single-family homes, with easy access to Lincoln Park Zoo and the lakefront trail. Housing prices reflect the premium location and amenities.

• Wrigleyville:  Wrigleyville centers around the iconic Wrigley Field baseball stadium and offers a more affordable alternative with vintage condos, rental apartments, and some single-family homes. The neighborhood features Chicago's famous brownstones and greystones, some over a century old, along with newer developments. The area buzzes with activity during baseball season and offers numerous bars and restaurants.
