If you’re looking for soothing lake living—combined with a healthy blend of big-city culture—you can stop your search here. Lake View is one of the most scenic areas in all of Chicago, with a bit of everything for everyone. The mature, tree-lined residential neighborhoods meet the action of downtown in an uncompromising mix that matches that of an exceptional cocktail you’d find at one of Lake View’s many bars, restaurants, or concert halls. 

It’s not just quality drinks, dining, and music here, though. You’ll also get designer shopping boutiques, the most spectacular theater district in all of Chicago, gorgeous greenways, the Lake Michigan shoreline, and let’s not forget Wrigley Field. The social events are truly endless when you decide to live in Lake View. 

Lake View’s historic architecture offers pristine, old-world European details, while its new home builds add sophistication and modern flair, providing its residents with graystones, brownstones, high-rises, condo complexes, and single-family homes alike. The area has excellent public schools, Gallagher Way, Chicago Cubs games (you better be a fan!), accessible public transportation, the famous Hotel Zachary and Belmont Harbor, and bike paths that are known city-wide. From young professionals to families, all are welcome and perfectly catered to here. 

The average condo sells for $385K, and the average single-family home will run you around $1.55M. If you’re curious about the highest sales of 2021, a condo sold for $2.5M, and a single-family home sold for $6.5M. A small price to pay for such a buzzing town that has it all.
