Lakeview East is known for its activity and affordability
Lakeview East’s high rises overlook Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park. Of the neighborhoods in the Lakeview area, Lakeview East has the most options and flexibility, accommodating various lifestyles. The area is mostly renters and condos, making it more affordable than other neighborhoods. Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park’s beaches are within walking distance, as well as the bars and clubs in Lakeview East’s Boystown.

Lincoln Park and the beaches are within walking distance
“People who love to walk and move their bodies gravitate to Lakeview East,” says broker Juliana Yeager with Christie’s International Real Estate and longtime Lakeview resident. Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's largest green spaces and includes:
Montrose and North Avenue beaches
Belmont Harbor and its marinas
Lincoln Park Zoo
Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course
Various playgrounds, sports fields and gardens
The Lakefront Trail also goes through the park, offering paved lanes for pedestrians and cyclists. For a quieter afternoon outside, Gill Park is a neighborhood green space with a playground, baseball field and an indoor pool and gym at the fieldhouse.
Lakeview East has several spots for residents to enjoy the lakefront.

High rise living is unique to Lakeview East
Compared to other parts of Lakeview, Lakeview East has more rentals. “It’s a little more dense. You’re going to see more high raises and condos,” Yeager says. “There’s next to no single-family homes. It’s pretty rare in Lakeview East.” The apartment and condo high rises come with various amenities, from rooftop decks and gyms to pools and valet parking. “They’re all along the lake and they all have nice views,” Yeager says. You’ll also find condos in graystone and contemporary brick two- and three-flats, which also often come with rooftop decks and balconies. Though rare, most single-family homes here are historic Victorians or graystones that blend in with the two-flats. Most housing comes with off-street parking, like detached garages, assigned parking spaces or apartment complex garages.
Stately graystones are plentiful in East Lakeview.

Lakeview East is more affordable than nearby neighborhoods
Lakeview East’s high rises help keep the cost of living lower than in other neighborhoods. The community’s median housing price is about $350,000, more than half the cost of living in Lakeview and Wrigleyville. It’s also significantly lower than Lincoln Park, where the median is close to $500,000. Condos in the high rises range from the mid $100,000s to mid $300,000s, though they can come with steep homeowners association fees. Condos in the low-rise buildings start around the low $900,000s and reach up to $2 million. If there’s a single-family home on the market, you can expect the price to be between $1.6 and $2.7 million.

Wilde Bar and Restaurant is a literary-themed Irish pub. Its dining room looks like a library, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The Chicago Diner specializes in vegetarian and vegan fare. Ann Sather Restaurant is the go-to brunch spot and features traditional Swedish folk paintings on the walls and ceilings. You can also walk to multiple grocery stores in Lakeview East, including Mariano’s and Jewel-Osco.
