This studio is extremely overpriced for what you are getting, pretty much a room in a kitchen, and a VERY tiny bathroom. Rent is SUPER high for this place, it does come with a gym, which is super tiny. I just don't see the value in the building at all, def. not worth the money. The location is pretty great, however the area has now become a bit unsafe and riddled with sketchy people in my opinion.

Just Right

This location is perfectly located between school and work, on a street that I always feel safe walking on no matter what time it is due to the constant traffic. Lots of great places to eat or grab a drink within walking distance, as well as a library and a few different gyms.

I mostly chose to live in Lakeview because I wanted to be walking distance from the Synagogues. But I really love the area. It's definitely city, but there's still some grass/trees. The main areas are exciting and alive, but the side streets are still pretty quiet. It really has character, and it's got both Wrigleyville for the sports bar scene and the whole Northalsted (previously known as boystown) scene as well. Much more bang for your buck than a streeterville apartment. Depending on where exactly you live you'd either take the train or the bus to streeterville, but either way your commute is probably 30-40 minutes, which isn't so bad. Unless you have a car, in which case your commute is more like 10-15 minutes

With COVID, I haven't been out much but I love Lakeview's access to the lake front and restaurants. Unlike Woodlawn, where I used to live, there are plenty of grocery stores within walking distance (10 minutes or less). In the fall and spring, I can also bike down the lake front path to school, which is a really pretty and relaxed way to commute.

Lake view is an excellent neighborhood to be a young professional. Easy access to downtown if you work there, yet has the neighborhood feel that separates work from home.

Quieter / more family oriented neighborhood but still with plenty of bars/restaurants in walking distance.

Great place to live and easy commute to Streeterville. Lots of green space, restaurants, and safe.

My wife and I couldn't imagine living in any neighborhood other than Lakeview.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at The Van Der Rohe Apartments
The main reason we moved here was the neighborhood. Broadway, Clark, Diversey and Belmont are all within walking distance and offer all of the shops, restaurants, bars and grocery stores you could need. It really is in a prime, unbeatable location. Not to mention it's a block from Lake Michigan and walking distance to Lincoln Park and a short bike ride from Montrose Beach.

My street and neighborhood are usually fairly quiet. Sundays seem to be the going out day in the neighborhood but it isn't disruptive to my every day life. Overall it seems like a very safe area and being a young woman living alone, that is very important. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
