Lakeview

The Community

This is a neighborhood of people who work hard and want to enjoy where they live.

You will run into executives who bike to the Loop, doctors finishing shifts at nearby hospitals, lawyers who traded downtown high rises for lakefront living, and remote workers who picked Lakeview because life here feels worth it.

The median age is 33, but you will get to see every generation here because Lakeview appeals to anyone who values quality of life.

What to Do on a Rainy Day

Head to Southport Corridor and turn the rainy afternoon into a reason to browse boutiques, then settle in at Little Goat or Wood for a long brunch.

Corridor Brewery & Provisions keeps you dry with craft beer tastings and gastropub food. Lincoln Park’s conservatory and museums sit just minutes away when you need a cultural escape from the weather.​

Schools & Family Appeal

Families stay in Lakeview because the schools work and the neighborhood feels safe for kids. Burley Elementary and Nettelhorst Elementary rank among the city’s best, and selective enrollment magnet programs give families even more options within a short commute.

The Southport Corridor delivers that rare mix of walkability, strong schools, and upscale amenities without feeling like you’re raising kids in a suburb.​

Transit & Lakefront Access

Lakeview, with the ZIP codes 60613 and 60657 has an excellent connectivity to the Loop.

The CTA Red, Brown, and Purple Lines connect Lakeview to the Loop in 15 to 20 minutes, making downtown commutes easier than most suburbs. Lake Shore Drive gets you north or south fast, while the Lakefront Trail gives you 18 uninterrupted miles for running, biking, or just clearing your head. Wrigley Field, Belmont Harbor, and Lincoln Park are all walking distance, so outdoor access and city energy become part of your routine, not something you drive to on weekends.​
