We just moved here. It’s being like a dream! Endless choices of restaurants within walking distance, day to day life needs like groceries, tailors, leather repairs, locksmith, haircut, plant shops and comedy shows are all walkable. Love it so much!

Absolutely incredible video. Lakeview is such a gem of a neighborhood and feeds such heart into the city of Chicago. Thanks for a high quality dive into the history and story!

Excellent video. I am a Lakeview East resident and I absolutely love it. it feels like two completely different worlds though Lakeview East and West. Once you get about a block west of the stadium feels much more residential and suburban. Lakeview East feels like more of a vibrant city neighborhood. that stretch of Broadway from Addison to Diversy is probably my favorite street in Chicago. it’s also kind of jarring how desolate it gets on Clark and Halsted between Belmont and Diversy. Hopefully they can livin it up a bit more.
