Wrigleyville puts Cubs Fans within walking distance of home base
Wrigleyville gets its name from Wrigley Field, the legendary baseball stadium at the heart of the neighborhood. Local bars, restaurants and entertainment venues surround the stadium, adding to the energy. Residents here enjoy being close to the action while also benefiting from Lakeview's location on the Red Line, plus the walkability to nearby Lake Michigan.
Wrigleyville has grown around the stadium with its love of baseball at its core.

Cubs games, concerts and night markets at Wrigley Field
During the baseball season, you’re certain to see locals and visitors decked out in Cubs gear. Gallagher Way, a lawn just outside the stadium, is bordered by bustling restaurants and full of picnic tables and benches for the Cubbie faithful. “People who move here enjoy being in the fray and the hubbub,” says longtime Lakeview resident Juliana Yeager, a broker with Christie’s International Real Estate. “It’s different than Soldier Field,” Yeager says. “Sometimes we just hang out at Gallagher Way because they have the jumbotron.”
Offseason, an outdoor ice-skating rink replaces the lawn at Gallagher Way, and vendors set up in little winter cottages. In the summer, you can explore local vendors while listening to live music at the Wrigleyville Night Market. Other than Cubs games, Wrigley Field also hosts mega concerts, with past performers including Lady Gaga, Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters. Locals can often hear music from their homes. Also in Wrigleyville, the historic Metro music venue hosted early performances from the Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and Oasis. It specializes in smaller artists, their names displayed in bright lights on the old-fashioned marquee.

Homes are historic or multifamily buildings in Wrigleyville
Looking for a place to live in Wrigleyville, you’ll mostly find condos and apartments. Multifamily housing typically consists of low-rise brick buildings and two- and three-flats. Most units include balconies, patios or rooftop balconies, where you can listen to concerts at Wrigley Field for free. Older condo complexes and two-flats typically range from the low $200,000s to the low $400,000s, while contemporary complexes or renovated units can dip into the mid-$800,000s.
Single-family homes are rarer but not unheard of. Alta Vista Terrace is a stretch of Victorian rowhomes listed on the National Register of Historic Places, though there are also greystones and cottages sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. These homes, along with entire two-flats bought up by investors, range from the low $900,000s to $2 million. For the most part, Wrigleyville is still more affordable than Lakeview, but double the cost of Lakeview East.

Wrigleyville's parking and traffic concerns
Area attractions can make traffic and parking difficult. “Traffic is definitely busier during the season, but those of us who live here are used to it. There are some road closures. They don’t let cars on certain roads during the games,” Yeager says. “They have zoning over there to keep the traffic at bay, and the public can’t park there without a pass at night.” Most streets have street parking, but single-family homes do have detached garages behind homes in alleyways.
Local restaurants surround Wrigley Field
Before games, many fans stop in Wrigleyville for a bite to eat. “This neighborhood just gets better and better as it develops more and more,” Yeager says. “Around Wrigley Field, they’ve elevated the restaurants a lot.” Popular dining spots in Wrigleyville include:
Murphy's Bleachers, a neighborhood staple that's been open for 80 years, featuring plenty of Cubs memorabilia on the walls
Smoke Daddy, a barbecue joint with balcony seating overlooking Gallagher Way
Big Star, which also faces Gallagher Way and serves tacos and burritos
Happy Camper, a colorful pizza restaurant with sunroom seating and a good cocktail menu
While you can walk to restaurants, things like grocery stores are a bit farther. A Jewel-Osco is nearby in neighboring Southport Corridor.
Murphy's Bleachers is the go-to spot for Cubs fans looking to pregame.
