Great experience

I absolutely love living at Hawthorne House. The studio layout is ideal and super spacious. It is so convenient having buses (135, 146, 151) literally right outside your door. The management has been nothing but amazing and almost everything about living here is perfect. However, I have two major grievances: 1. The lockout fee is $50!! Insane, none of my other friends' buildings have any lockout fee.. 2. The roof is only open when the pool is open, I know other buildings that have it open all year round - I don't see why not.

Hawthorne House is spectacular

Great, friendly, responsive staff, in-building parking, gorgeous views and apartments, great amenities. Storage locker included! So many closets. Ceiling to floor windows. 24/7 gym on the 40th floor. Rooftop pool and grill during the warm months with an incredible view of the city skyline.

No complaints here!

Hawthorne House is an amazing place to live! It was a little over my budget but I'm glad I worked it out because I would live here forever if I could! Anytime I have a maintenance issue - clogged toilet/drain, lights, etc. - the issue is resolved within 24 hours without fail. The doormen are extremely friendly and I always feel very safe coming home because of them! I highly recommend living here!

Not worth bang for the buck

Nice place on the exterior but the internal stuff is broken down. Some neighbors are obnoxious. Very cold and windy in winters. Staff is friendly but incompetent. Close to bus lines but not trains which means if you are traveling during rush hour traffic, it will be a very long, slow commute.

Amazing view, no laundry

I love my place - floor to ceiling windows with a view of the lake and the skyline, tons of closet space, and a huge bedroom. The maintenance crew takes great care of me, and so did the onsite valet attendants when I owned a car. But no laundry! :(

Hawthorne House is Great

For luxury living in the city it doesn't get much better than Hawthorne house with views of Lake Michigan and spacious living. Would recommend it to anyone looking for luxury lifestyle in Chicago

Lakeview Reviews

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.
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.
