Lakeview
|
| |
Lakeview -- with Lake Michigan running along its east end -- is aptly named. Legend tells us it was named for the Lakeview Hotel, a hotel built in 1853 in the “country” just 4 miles north of downtown Chicago.
Lakeview is one of the city’s most livable and walkable areas. It is home to many smaller neighborhoods, including Lakeshore East, West Lakeview, Roscoe Village, Graceland West, Southeast Ravenswood, Belmont Harbor and Wrigleyville, home of the Chicago Cubs. Lakeview residents enjoy the charm and beauty of tree-lined streets and Lake Michigan, just minutes from the bustle of downtown Chicago, a short commute on Lake Shore Drive.

It's a beautiful area with tree-lined streets and parks, and its own rapid-transit system that connects to the Loop. The Ravenswood community includes Ravenswood Gardens, Budlong Woods, Bowmanville, Ravenswood Manor and parts of Lincoln Square.
