The Location
Lakeview is an historic lakefront neighborhood just north of Lincoln Park, bordered by Irving Park Road and Diversey Parkway, and spanning from Lake Michigan west to Damen Avenue. The area is well-known as the home of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs.
Lake Michigan is the most stunning natural feature of the area and offers unlimited fun and recreation. Walk through the Park to Diversey, Belmont, and Montrose Harbors. Look south at Chicago's amazing skyline. Ride a bicycle through Lincoln Park. Enjoy a round of golf at Waveland Golf Course or a tennis match at the Waveland Tennis Courts.
The Lakeview neighborhood is within walking distance of almost everything trendy and exciting. The retail and entertainment districts along Broadway, Clark and Halsted Streets are teaming with fine dining, boutique shopping, spectacular nightlife in myriad bars and lounges, and a wealth of restaurants, coffee houses, pubs and cafes. Enjoy an evening at the movies or take in a show in the area's "Off-Loop" theater district.
855 W. Buckingham is walking distance to the Lake and public transportation. Downtown Chicago and surrounding areas are accessible by CTA bus and rail service and Lake Shore Drive.
