Mixed Feelings

I lived here for a few years and they began to upgrade the apartments around me which looked very nice. It was a decent sized apartment for just me and everyone was seemingly nice. A downside was the elevator was out of service in such a large building for a long while.

Great First Apartment

Located in the heart of Lakeview, ideal apartment for first time Chicago residents. Not very many amenities, but the building does feature bike room and on-stie engineers. Good size studios in a quiet building. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Pet fees are a bit expensive.

Boystown Studio

Close to everything. Elevators broke a lot. Lived there for 3 years and my rent was raised every year. Quiet building. Outdated appliances. Good size for a studio with ample storage and closet space. No real apartment amenities. On-site engineers always helpful.

Do not live here

This place was ultimately the worst place to ever live. It was difficult to stay here because of how run down the entire building was. They would raise the rent over $100 a year, but never made any upgrades to the building. At times, only the freight elevator was working and the people made it terrible to move out. When they were showing my place for move-out, they only told me at most, an hour before. WHICH IS ILLEGAL. I suggest if you move here, know the renter rules set by Chicago, so you don't get screwed.

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.
