Get What You Pay For

Its a basic apartment. Mine is carpeted (ugly), and most are hard wood floors. No garbage disposal or dishwasher but its ok. New fridge. Lots of closet space. Nice bathroom. Air conditioning in unit. It's close to the lake and less expensive than other apartments I viewed in the area

Great place to live

Building is well kept, affordable, and in an excellent location. Lots of closets and storage space. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance, as well as easy access to the lake. Train stop is kind of a far walk but buses are close. Overall very pleased.

421 W Barry is a gem

Great price, decent apartment. Other apartments in the area cost way more, so this definitely is a steal! No cameras or doorman, so other resident's packages have gotten stolen before -I just mail mine to work now. Sometimes can take a while for building maintenance to fix something or update, but overall experience has been good!

Basic apartment in a fantastic location

I like my apartment soley based on the location. The kitchen is outdated, and it has really ugly carpet, Totally has a lot more potential. I think a lot of units have hardwood floors. Its very basic and could use a lot of upgrades. The building offers nothing as well. Basic living.

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.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at Elaine Place
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.
