Explore Lakeview East

A unique and eclectic north side neighborhood brimming with independent businesses, artistic minds, and a vibrant LGBT population - Lakeview East has it all. World-class nightlife, community-mindedness and serene lake views make this district the ideal home for young families, recent grads, creative professionals, and everyone in between. Lakeview East's location along the water is one of the neighborhood's signature qualities. Lake Michigan's beautiful beaches and lakefront trails give way to Belmont Harbor where Chicagoans store their yachts and sailboats between excursions. An off-leash dog beach allows our four-legged friends to run free and a bird sanctuary is the main stopover for our feathered friends flying south for the winter. The housing in Lakeview East is a marriage of high-rise residential buildings, vintage condos and rehabbed lofts, with an assortment of single-family homes thrown in the mix. Off the neighborhood side streets are block after block of restaurants, bars, retail, theaters, and other businesses. In the summer months Lakeview East is flooded with a full calendar of art festivals, outdoor markets, garden walks, and the very popular Chicago Gay Pride Parade.
