About Lakeview
Renting a Lakeview apartment means living in one of Chicago’s most vibrant and connected neighborhoods. Located on the North Side just 20 minutes from the Loop, Lakeview offers easy access to the Red, Brown, and Purple Lines, plus multiple CTA bus routes that make getting around the city simple. Neighborhood landmarks like the Music Box Theatre, Boystown’s lively stretch of North Halsted, and The Vic Theatre give the area its distinct charm. Residents are also just blocks from the lakefront trail, perfect for biking, running, or relaxing by the water.
Lakeview’s dining scene is just as dynamic. From cozy cafés like Uncommon Ground to longtime favorites like DryHop Brewers, Chilam Balam, and Ann Sather, there’s something for every craving. Walkable streets, Divvy bike stations, and a blend of vintage charm and city convenience make this one of Chicago’s most desirable places to call home. Whether you’re looking for a classic walk-up or a modern unit close to the action, Beal Properties offers a wide range of Lakeview apartments to suit your lifestyle.
