Lakeview encompasses several smaller areas each with a different flavor spanning from Belmont Harbor to the east to Ashland Avenue to the west. Its abundance of attractions and cultural flavors make Lakeview one of the most popular areas on Chicago’s north side. Lakeview’s central strips are alive with some of the funkiest, trendiest restaurants, bars and boutiques in Chicago. Belmont harbor adds a contingent of rollerbladers, bike riders, and power walkers along the lake. Family owned businesses are common in the area, as are antiques. Lakeview is central to many forms of transportation (El and expressways), as well as Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs, is located at the corners of Addison and Clark. Recently, new townhouses and condominiums have sprung up from the lake west and single-family homes as well as 1, 2, 3, and 4 floor apartment buildings and studios are readily available. Views of Wrigley as well as the abundance of nightclubs, restaurants, and theaters are a plus. Lakeview as a whole, is well known for its proximity to the Lake and a wide range of social options.
