Lakeview
Named for its close proximity to Lake Michigan, Lakeview is one of Chicago's larger neighborhoods, now comprised of smaller neighborhoods within its boundaries. They include Wrigleyville, Roscoe Village and Lakeview East.
The name Lakeview is thought to have come from the Hotel Lakeview, built on the lakeshore in 1853. By 1887 the town of Lakeview was incorporated into the city. About four miles north of the Loop, Lakeview is one of the most livable neighborhoods in Chicago. Many people have moved into Lakeview in recent years, and the nightclubs and restaurants have followed.
It is home to a large part of Chicago's gay community known as Boys Town located on Halsted Street between Belmont and Waveland. The windows are full of rainbow stickers, a symbol for gay-friendliness. The annual Gay & Lesbian Pride Parade is held here in June. Chicago's city government recently paid for the installation of rainbow-colored pylons along Halsted.
Wrigleyville is the name given to the neighborhood around Wrigley Field--home of the Chicago Cubs--at Sheffield Avenue and Addison Street.
Real estate investors appreciate the wide variety of housing with some rehabs, Victorian greystone, brick multifamily buildings, expensive new construction, lakefront highrises and higher rents. Some buildings date back to the 1800s. The older buildings range from little frame cottages to huge stone mansions on double lots. Many rental buildings have been converted to condos. Most 1-bedroom units are in older high rises. Lakeview has always been a very popular place to live, however, the rising real estate prices have pushed some people north to Andersonville.
West Lakeview officially begins at Clark Street. Dozens of buildings are being renovated and new single-family homes are under construction. Rents in West Lakeview are more affordable than those in Lake View East.
One and one half miles of lake and park on the eastern border offers recreational facilities of boating, jogging, skating, swimming and biking.
Chicago loop area is readily accessible from Lakeview by car, bus, train or the Red Line El.
